Master of Puppets (Live with the SFSO) Lyrics

[Vocals: James Hetfield & Audience]

[Intro]
Yeah!

[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

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you


[Chorus 2]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster

Obey your master
Master

[Chorus 3]
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, yeah
Twisting your mind, 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
Hell yeah!
[Verse 2]
Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, r-r-r-ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, taste me, you will see
More, that's all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm fucking you


[Chorus 2]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster

Obey your master
Master

[Chorus 3]
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, yeah
Twisting your mind, 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, I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master..
[Verse 3]
Master, Master, where’s those 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, baby
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


[Chorus 2]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster

Obey your master
Master

[Chorus 3]
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, yeah
Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams, baby
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, I'll hear you scream
Master

Master
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master

Master
Thank you, baby

How to Format Lyrics:
