THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE (6:32)   (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light
Hybird children watch the sea
Pray for father, Roaming free

**   Fearless wretch
     Insanity
     He watches
     Lurking beneath the sea
     Great old one
     Forbidden site
     He searches
     Hunter of the shadows is rising
                      Immortal
                      In madness you dwell

Crawling chaos, Underground
Cult has summoned, Twisted sound
Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, Living death

Repeat **

Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons death may die
Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be
  
Repeat **

DISPOSABLE HEROES (8:14)   (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)
Bodies fill the fields I see, Hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, No one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, Bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant 'til I fall
**   Soldier boy, Made of clay
     Now an empty shell
     Twenty one, Only son
     But he served us well
     Bred to kill, Not to care
     Do just as we say
     Finished here, Greetings death
     He's yours to take away
   Back to the front
   You will do what I say, When I say
   Back to the front
   You will die when I say, You must die
   Back to the front
   You coward
   You servant
   You blindman
Barking of machinegun fire, Does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, Get used to it somehow
More a man, More stripes you bare, Glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends

Repeat ** 

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, Have no fear
Lie, Live off lying
Hell, Hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth, Nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, Moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, Nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun
 
Repeat **

BATTERY (5:10)   (Hetfield, Ulrich)
Lashing out the action, Returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, Crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
**    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
      Battery
Crushing all deceivers, Mashing non believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, Feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

   Repeat **

Circle of destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating fury
We create the battery
  
Repeat **

MASTER OF PUPPETS (8:38)   (Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Hammett)
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
**     Come crawling faster
       Obey your master
       Your life burns 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 (repeat once )
      Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
     Master (repeat once )  **

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
    Repeat **

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
Hell is worth all that, Natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending 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
     Repeat *8

     Master
     Just call my name, 'Cause I'll hear you scream
     Master
     Master

WELCOME HOME (SANITARIUM) (6:28)   (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, Never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says rage

**  Sanitarium, Leave me be
     Sanitarium, Just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, It makes him well
He's getting better, Can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in
Listen, Damn it, We will win
They see it right, They see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell

Repeat **

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, It's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again
