MAY’Tallica Day 5 – An Eight Minute Class In Thrash Mastery From Metallica

Since it’s Friday, let’s crack up today’s MAY’Tallica pick. The title track of Master Of Puppets is so good. As a matter of fact, I loved it before it was used in Stranger Things! LOL

In all seriousness, this is another eight minute class in thrash mastery. Talk about a song that takes the listener on a roller coaster ride. There’s so many flavors to this song, which is why it’s still one of Metallica’s best all these years later.

On my Facebook page, listener Jeff Falzone described it like this…”It’s the perfect build up to the perfect storm of music!” Agreed!

End of passion play, crumbling awayI’m your source of self-destructionVeins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clearLeading on your death’s construction
Taste me, you will seeMore is all you needDedicated toHow 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 stringsTwisting your mind and smashing your dreamsBlinded by me, you can’t see a thingJust call my name ’cause I’ll hear you screamMaster, masterJust call my name ’cause I’ll hear you screamMaster, master
Needlework the way, never you betrayLife of death becoming clearerPain monopoly, ritual miseryChop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me, you will seeMore is all you needDedicated toHow 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 stringsTwisting your mind and smashing your dreamsBlinded by me, you can’t see a thingJust call my name ’cause I’ll hear you screamMaster, masterJust call my name ’cause I’ll hear you screamMaster, master(Master, master, master, master)
Master, master, where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?Master, master, you promised only liesLaughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughterLaughter, laughter, laughing at my criesFix me!
Hell is worth all that, natural habitatJust a rhyme without a reasonNever-ending maze, drift on numbered daysNow your life is out of season
I will occupyI will help you dieI will run through youNow 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 stringsTwisting your mind and smashing your dreamsBlinded by me, you can’t see a thingJust call my name ’cause I’ll hear you screamMaster, masterJust call my name ’cause I’ll hear you screamMaster, master
