cannot stop the Battery  Pounding out aggression  turns into obsession 
cannot kill the Battery  Cannot kill the family  Battery is found in me 
Battery[End Chorus]Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believersnever
ending potencyHungry violence seeker, feeding off the weakerBreeding on
insanity[Chorus]Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushingPowerhouse
of energyWhipping up a fury, Dominating flurryWe create the
Battery[Chorus]

SONG: The Thing that Should Not Be

 

 Messenger of Fear in sight Dark deception kills the light Hybrid
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   fearless Wretch  
insanity   He watches   lurking beneath the sea   timeless sleep   has
been upset   He awakens   Hunter of the Shadows is rising               

           immortal                            in madness You dwell Not
dead which eternal lie stranger eons Death may die drain you of your
sanity face The Thing That Should Not Be   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.

SONG: Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

  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 our 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    Sanitarium, leave me be    Sanitarium, just leave me
alone    Sanitarium, just leave me alone 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.

SONG: Disposable Heroes

  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
[Chorus:]    Soldier boy, made of clay    now an empty shell    twenty
one, only son    but he served us well    Bred to kill, not to care   
just do as we say    finished here, Greeting 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 [End Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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, molded day by day Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend Alone I clench my gun [Chorus] Back to the
front.

SONG: Leper Messiah

  Spineless from the start, sucked into the part circus comes to town,
you play the lead clown Please, please spreading his disease, living by
his story Knees, knees falling to your knees, suffer for his glory You
will [Chorus]    Time for lust, time for lie    time to kiss your life
goodbye    Send me money, send me green    Heaven you will meet    Make
a contribution    and you'll get a better seat [End Chorus]    Bow to
Leper Messiah Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix blind devotion
came, rotting your brain Chain, chain Join the endless chain Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power We see [Chorus]    Bow
to Leper Messiah Witchery, weakening Sees the sheep are gathering set
the trap, hypnotize now you follow [Chorus] Lie.

SONG: Damage, Inc.

 

 Dealing out the agony within charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend go against the grain until the end
[Chorus:]    Blood will follow blood    Dying time is here    Damage
Incorporated [End Chorus] Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
stepping out?  You'll feel our hell on your back Blood follows blood and
we make sure life ain't for you and we're the cure Honesty is my only
excuse Try to rob us of it, but it's no use Steamroller action crushing
all Victim is your name and you shall fall [Chorus] We chew and spit you
out we laugh, you scream and shout All flee, with fear you run You'll
know just where we come from    Damage Incorporated Damage jackals
ripping right through you sight and smell of this, it gets me goin' Know
just how to get just what we want tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets Never happy ending on these dark sets
All's fair for Damage Inc. you see step a little closer if you please
[Chorus]
