Master of Puppets (Live - Seattle ’89) Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

Yeah man!
Wake up, fuck!

[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
Taste me, you will see, more is all you need
Dedicated to how I'm killing you

[Pre-Chorus]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your...

[Chorus]
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!
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Refrain]
Taste me, you will see, more is all you need
Dedicated to how I'm fucking you

[Pre-Chorus]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your...

[Chorus]
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!
[Post-Chorus]
(Master, master, master, master...)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Bridge]
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
Fix me! Fuck

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

Yeah

[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
I will occupy, I will help you die
I will run through you, now I rule you too

[Pre-Chorus]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your...

[Chorus]
Master! Master!
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your fucking dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master! Master!
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master! Master!

[Outro]
Ooa Ha Ha
Thank you, man
Fuck yeah!

[Bass Solo]
