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
Battery is here to stay
With Fill 1
E5 C5
Smashing through the boundries, 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 kill 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
