Το υπερ-κλασικό τραγούδι του 1986
Είναι το τραγούδι με το οποίο η πλειοψηφία των metal οπαδών έχει ταυτίσει τους Metallica. Το ομώνυμο τραγούδι από το Master of Puppets του 1986 ξεπέρασε το 1 δισεκατομμύριο streams στην πλατφόρμα του Spotify, μπαίνοντας έτσι σε ένα πολύ κλειστό club από metal τραγούδια που το έχει καταφέρει αυτό.
Πέρα από τη δημοφιλία του ανάμεσα στους metal οπαδούς, το Master of Puppets έγινε ευρύτερα γνωστό όταν χρησιμοποιήθηκε και στην 4η σεζόν της σειράς Stranger Things.
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
