Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
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
I think this is pretty close. I'm not sure about the names of the
funny chords though (marked ??) I'm not too hot on theory!! :)
