Leper Messiah

(from the album Master of Puppets)

Back to Metallica Albums

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part

circus comes to town, you play the lead clown

Please, please

spreading his disease, living by his story

Knees, knees

falling to your knees, suffer for his glory

You will

*

Time for lust, time for lie

time to kiss your life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

and you'll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

*

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix

blind devotion came, rotting your brain

Chain, chain

Join the endless chain

Fame, Fame

Infection is the game, stinking drunk with

power

We see

*

Time for lust, time for lie

time to kiss your life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

and you'll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

*

Bow to Leper Messiah

Witchery, weakening

Sees the sheep are gathering

set the trap, hypnotize

now you follow

*

Time for lust, time for lie

time to kiss your life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

and you'll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

*

Lie.
