MASTER OF PUPPETS LYRICS
BATTERY (5:10) (Hetfield, Ulrich)
Lashing out the action, Returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, Crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me Battery Crushing all deceivers, Mashing non believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, Feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me Battery Circle of destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating fury
We create the battery Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me Battery

MASTER OF PUPPETS (8:38) (Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Hammett)
---------------------------------------------------
End of passion play, Crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, Sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master Master Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, You can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master Needlework the way, Never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, Ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master Master Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, You can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, Laughing at my cries Hell is worth all that, Natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master Master Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, You can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
Master

THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE (6:32) (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
---------------------------------------------------------
Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light Hybird children watch the sea
Pray for father, Roaming free Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal
In madness you dwell Crawling chaos, Underground
Cult has summoned, Twisted sound Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, Living death Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal
In madness you dwell Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising Immortal
In madness you dwell

WELCOME HOME (SANITARIUM) (6:28) (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, Never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says rage Sanitarium, Leave me be
Sanitarium, Just leave me alone Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, It makes him well
He's getting better, Can't you tell? No more can they keep us in
Listen, Damn it, We will win
They see it right, They see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell Sanitarium, Leave me be
Sanitarium, Just leave me alone
Sanitarium, Just leave me alone Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, It's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

DISPOSABLE HEROES (8:14) (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
-----------------------------------------------------
Bodies fill the fields I see, Hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, No one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, Bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant 'til I fall Soldier boy, Made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, Only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, Not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, Greetings death
He's yours to take away Back to the front
You will do what I say, When I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, You must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman Barking of machinegun fire, Does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, Get used to it somehow
More a man, More stripes you bare, Glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends Soldier boy, Made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, Only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, Not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, Greetings death
He's yours to take away Back to the front
You will do what I say, When I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, You must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman Why, Am I dying?
Kill, Have no fear
Lie, Live off lying
Hell, Hell is here I was born for dying Life planned out before my birth, Nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, Moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, Nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun Soldier boy, Made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, Only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, Not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, Greetings death
He's yours to take away Back to the front
You will do what I say, When I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, You must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman Back to the front

LEPER MESSIAH (5:38) (Hetfield, Ulrich)
--------------------------------------------
Spineless from the start, Sucked into the part
Circus comes to town, You play the lead clown
Please, Please
Spreading his disease, Living by his story
Knees, Knees
Falling to your knees, Suffer for his glory
You will Time for lust, Time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, Send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat
Bow to leper messiah Marvel at his trick, Need your Sunday fix
Blind devotion came, Rotting your brain
Chain, Chain
Join the endless chain, Taken by his glamour
Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, Stinking drunk with power
We see Time for lust, Time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, Send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat
Bow to leper messiah Witchery, Weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
Set the trap, Hypnotize
Now you follow Time for lust, Time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, Send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat Lie
