     Weak are ripped  and  torn   away

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower


With Fill 1

E5                             C5
Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me
             F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3


With Fill 1

E5                      C5
Pounding out agression, turned into obsession
             F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3 (first 2 bars)

E5              B5      G5          F#/Eb
Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me

Riff 3 (first 3 bars)|

verses

Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Chorus

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery

Chorus
