Battery

The explosive opener from *Master of Puppets*, 1986

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

Chorus

Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Verse 2

Circuitry of agony surrounding me
Liquid fire flows through my veins
Electrify the silencer
Trembling with desire
Unleash your powered hand
Oh!

Bridge

Battery, battery, battery, battery
Battery, battery, battery, battery

Verse 3

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Chorus

Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Outro

Deal out the aggression, add to my transgression
The battery is here to stay
Temperamental maiden, mother of dissipation
The battery is here to stay
Battery, battery, battery, battery
Battery, battery, battery, battery
