Tabbed By Mike Wilson

I am sure this is at least 90% correct. I have been playing guitar for nearly 2 years. This is my first tab. Sorry, I don’t have Kirks Solo. It is too hard for me to figure out. Enjoy.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
End of passion play, crumbling away
I`m your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Chorus:
Taste me you will see
more is all you need you’re 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
Verse 2:
Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror
[Chorus]
Bridge:
Master, Master, Where`s the dreams that I`ve been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries
Verse 3:
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
[Chorus]
[Fade out with evil laughter].
