Lashing out the action    returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power    crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Chorus:
Smashing through the boundaries  lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression  turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family

Hungry violence seeker      feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury       dominating flurry
We create the battery
