Master of Puppets (Late June 1985 Demo) Lyrics

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
Dedicated to what I do to 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
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Master, master

Neddlework the way, nevеr you betray
Life of death bеcoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me, you will see more is all you need
Dedicated to what I do to 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
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Master, master

(Master, master, master, master)

Master, master
Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies
Master, master
All I hear or see is laughter
Master, master
Laughing at my cries
Fix me!

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 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
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Master, master
