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
        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
        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
       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
       Master
       Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
       Master
       Master
    
   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
   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
    
   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
       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
       Master
       Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
       Master
       Master
