master of puppets |
end of passion play, crumbling away
i'm your source of self-destruction
veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
leading on your deaths 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 ame, `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 ame, `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 and 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

just call my ame, `cause i'll hear you scream

the thing that should not be |
messenger of fear in sight
dark deception kills the light
hybrid 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
timeless sleep
has been upset
he awakens
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.

the memory remains |
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane
but the memory remains
heavy rings on fingers wave
another star denies the grave
see the nowhere crowd
cry the nowhere cheers of honor
like twisted vines that grow
hide and swallow mansions whole
in light of an already
faded prima donna
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
but the memory remains
heavy rings hold cigarettes
up to lips that time forgets
while the hollywood sun sets
behind your back
and can't the band play on
just listen, they play my song
ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
dance little tin goddess
"ya ya" part
drift away
fade away
little tin goddess
ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...

no leaf clover |
and it feels right this time
on his crash course with the big time
paid no mind to the distant thunder
today filled his head with wonder... boy
says it feels right this time
turn around and found the light lime
good day to be alive...sir
good day to be alive he said
then it comes to be that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way
then it comes to be that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel

don't it feel right like this
all the pieces fall to his wish
sucker for that quick reward...boy

then it comes to be that the soothing light
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way

it's comin' your way

hero of the day |
the window burns to light the way back home
a light that warms no matter where they go
they're off to find the hero of the day
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
still the window burns
time so slowly turns
and someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
do you feel your name?
did you hear your babies crying?
mama they try and break me
still they try and break me
excuse me while i tell them how to feel
these things we turn to me that still seem real
now deservingly this easy chair
but the rocking starts the wheels of this play
don't want your hate
but the fist i make
for you still no fear
no not on me
so please excuse me while i tell them how i feel
but now the dreams end
and now the dreams end
they everlast the night
so build a wall
behind it crawl
and hide until it's light
so can you hear your babies crying now?
still the window burns
time so slowly turns

did you hear your name?

nothing else matters |
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words i don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but i know
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
so close no matter how far
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but i know
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words i don't just say
trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and i know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

until it sleeps |
where do i take this pain of mine.
i run but it stays right by my side
so tear me open and pour me out
there's things inside that scream and shout,
and the pain still hates me
so hold me until it sleeps.
just like a curse, just like a stray.
you feed it once and now it stays,
now it stays.
so tear me open but beware
there's things inside without a care,
and the dirt still stains me
so wash me until i'm clean.
it grips you so hold me
it stains you so hold me
it hates you so hold me
it holds you so hold me
until it sleeps.
so tell me why you've chosen me
don't want your grip
don't want your greed
don't want it
now tear me open make you gone
no more can you hurt anyone,
and the fear still shakes me
so hold me, until it sleeps
idon't want it no
it grips you so hold me
it stains you so hold me
it hates you so hold me
it holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps (x4)
don't want it want it want it want it want it no
so tear me open but beware
there's things inside without a care,
and the dirt still stains me,
so wash me till i'm clean.
now tear me open make you gone
no longer will you hurt anyone,
and the hate still shapes me,
so hold me
until it sleeps (x5)

for whom the bell tolls |
make his fight on the hill in the early day
constant chill deep inside
shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
on the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
for a hill men would kill, why? they do not know
suffered wounds test there their pride
men of five, still alive through the raging glow
gone insane from the pain that they surely know
for whom the bell tolls
time marches on
for whom the bell tolls
take a look to the sky just before you die
it is the last time you will
blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
he hears the silence so loud
crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
for whom the bell tolls
time marches on
for whom the bell tolls

- human |
don't you leave me father time
take me with you
tell me does your sun still shine
come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat...oh yeah
down my throat again....woah

coming up for air
breathe man, breathe
coming up for air
touch me so i think i'm here

barely breathing
minus human
please squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again
down my throat again.....woah

wherever i may roam |
...and the road becomes my bride
i have stripped of all but pride
so in her i do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all i need
...and with dust in throat i crave
only knowledge will i save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll redefine anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home
...and the earth becomes my throne
i adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars i've grown
by myself but not alone
i ask no one
...and my ties are severed clean
the less i have the more i gain
off the beaten path i reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but i'll take my time anywhere
i'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll never mind anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home
but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and i'll take my find anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home
carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still i roam
wherever i may roam

outlaw torn |
you know i wait my whole lifetime for you
i ride the dirt i ride the tide for you
i search the outside search inside for you
to take back what you left me
i know i'll always burn to be
no one seeks so i may find
and now i wait my whole lifetime
my whole lifetime
so on i wait my whole lifetime for you
so on i wait my whole lifetime for you
the more i search the more my need for you
the more i blast the more i bleed for you
you make me smash the clock and feel
i'd rather die behind the wheel
time was never on my side
so on i wait my whole lifetime
my whole lifetime
and i'm torn
and if i close my mind in fear
please pry it open
and if my face becomes sincere
beware
and when i start to come undone
stitch me together
and when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn
and if i close my mind in fear
please pry it open
and if my face becomes sincere
beware
and when i start to come undone
stitch me together
and when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn

one |
i can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside i feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me
now that the war is through with me
i'm waking up i can not see
that there is not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me
back in the womb its much too real
in pumps life that i must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when i'll live
fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me
now the world is gone i'm just one
oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god help me
darkness imprisoning me
all that i see
absolute horror
i cannot live
i cannot die
body my holding cell
landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell

enter sandman |
say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone
tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land
something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white
dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land
now i lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if i die before i wake
pray the lord my soul to take
hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head
exit light
enter night
grain of sand
exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

battery |
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 flurry
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
