[English]

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, 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
