Lyrics

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 Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster (faster) Obey your master (master) Your life burns faster (faster) Obey your 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 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 Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster (faster) Obey your master (master) Your life burns faster (faster) Obey your 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 (Master, master, master, master) 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! 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 Come crawling faster (faster) Obey your master (master) Your life burns faster (faster) Obey your 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
