Lyrics

[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
[PreChorus]
Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you
[PreChorus]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Needlework the way
Never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly
Ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
[PreChorus]
Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
[PreChorus]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
[Chorus]
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
[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
[Bridge]
Fix me
[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
[PreChorus]
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
[PreChorus]
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
[Chorus]
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
