�Lashing out the action, Returning the reaction
�Weak are ripped and torn away!
�Hypnotizing power, Crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay!

[Chorus:]
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! Battery!

Crushing all deceivers, Mashing non-believers
Never ending potency!
Hungry violence seeker, Feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity!

[Repeat Chorus]

{Interlude}

Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy!
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery!

[Repeat Chorus]
Battery! Battery!

[Chorus:]
Taste me U will see, More is all U need
You're dedicated to, How I'm killing U!

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, U can't see a thing!
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear U scream!
Master! Master!
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear U scream!
Master! Master!

[End Chorus]

Needlework the way, Never U betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly! Ritual misery!
Chop your breakfast on a mirror!

�[Repeat Chorus]

{Interlude}
�Master! Master! Where's the dreams that I've been after?
�Master! Master! U promised only lies!
�Laughter! Laughter! All I hear and see is laughter!
�Laughter! Laughter! Laughing at my cries!

�Hell is worth all that, Natural habitat!
�Just a rhyme without a reason!
�Never-ending maze, Drift on numbered days
�Now your life is out of season!
I will help U fight, I will help U die!
I will run to U, Now I'll rule U too!

Come crawling faster! Obey your Master!
Your life burns faster! Obey your Master!
Master!

�[RepeatChorus]
�[Fade out with evil laughter]

THE THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE

�Messenger of Fear in sight, Dark deception kills the light!
�Hybrid children watch the sea! Pray for Father, Roaming free!

[Chorus:]
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 U 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!
Time to sleep... Has been upset
He wakens! Hunter of the Shadows is rising!
Immortal! In madness U dwell!

{Interlude}
In madness U dwell!

�Not dead which eternal lie, Stranger eons Death may die!
�Drain U of your sanity!
�Face The Thing That Should Not Be!

�[Repeat Chorus]

(WELCOME HOME) SANITARIUM

�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 our freedom in my sight
�No locked doors! No windows barred!
�No things to make my brain seem scarred!
�Sleep my friend and U 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 U 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!

{Interlude}
�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

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

[Chorus:]
Soldier boy, Made of clay, Now an empty shell!
Twenty one, Only son, But he served us well!
Bred to kill, Not to care, Just do as we say!
Finished here, Greeting Death! He's yours to take away!
Back to the front!��� U will do what I say, When I say!
Back to the front!��� U will die when I say, U must die!
�� Back to the front!��� U coward! U servant! U blind man!

Barking of machine-gun fire, Does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, Get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes U bare, Glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see, The slaughter never ends!

[Repeat Chorus]

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, Have no fear!
Lie, Live off lying!
Hell, Hell is here!

{Interlude}

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, Molded day by day
Looking back I realize, Nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend, Alone I clench my gun!

[Repeat Chorus]

Back to the front!
[Repeat 5 times]

LEPER MESSIAH

�Spineless from the start, Sucked into the part
�Circus comes to town, U play the lead clown
�Please! Please! Spreading his disease, Living by his story
�Knees... Knees... Falling to your knees, Suffer for his glory
�U will...

�[Chorus]
��� Time for lust! Time for lie!
��� Time to kiss your life good-bye!
��� Send me money, Send me green Heaven U will meet!
��� Make a contribution and you'll get a better seat...
�Bow to Leper Messiah!

�Marvel at his tricks, 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...

�[Repeat Chorus]

{Interlude}
�Witchery, Weakening, Sees the sheep are gathering
�Set the trap! Hypnotize! Now U follow!

�[Repeat Chorus]

� Lie! Lie! Lie! Lie! Lie!

DAMAGE Inc.

�Dealing out the agony within, Charging hard and no one's gonna give in
�Living on your knees, Conformity! Or dying on your feet for honesty
�Inbred, Our bodies work as one, Bloody, But never cry submission!
�Following our instinct not a trend, Go against the grain until the end

�[Chorus:]
��� Blood will follow blood
��� Dying time is here

�Stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back

�Steamroller action crushing all, Victim is your name and U shall fall!

�All flee, With fear U run
�You'll know just where we come from
(Damage Incorporated)

{Interlude}

Damage jackals ripping right through U, Sight and smell of this, It gets me goin'
�Know just how to get just what we want, Tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
�Fuck it all and fucking no regrets, Never happy ending on these dark sets
�All's fair for Damage Inc. U see! Step a little closer if U please!
