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

Taste me you will see

More is all you need

You're dedicated to

How I'm killing you

[Verse 2]

Come crawling faster

Obey your master

Your life burns faster

Obey your master

(Master)

[Verse 3]

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, I'll hear you scream

Master

(Master)

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Come crawling faster

Obey your master

Your life burns faster

Obey your master

(Master)

[Verse 6]

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, I'll hear you scream

Master

Master

[Verse 7]

(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

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

(Come crawling faster)

(Obey your master)

(Your life burns faster)

(Obey your master)

(Master)

[Verse 10]

Master of puppets

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, I'll hear you scream

Master

(Master)

[Verse 11]

Our master

My only master

My master of puppets
