[Intro]
[riff from "Back In Black"]
Okay, man
You guys ready?
Ready as I'll ever be
[Last Caress]
I got somethin' to say, I killed a baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me as long as it's dead
I got somethin' to say, I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me as long as she spread
Sweet lovely death, just waitin' for your breath
Come, sweet death, one last caress
Yeah!
Oh yeah!
Sweet lovely death, just waitin' for your breath
Come, sweet death, one last caress
I got somethin' to say, I killed a baby today
It doesn't matter much to me as long as it's dead
Sweet lovely death, just waitin' for your breath
Come, sweet death
One last caress
Last caress today
Oh oh
Oh
Oh Oh
[Am I Evil?]
[Instrumental Intro]
My mother was a witch
She was burned alive
Thankless little bitch
For the tears I cried
Ooo!
Take her down now, don't want to see her fuckin' face
Blistered and burned, can't hide my disgrace
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice
Got to see them, make them pay that price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time
Come on!
Am I evil? Yes I am
Yeah, sing it, man!
[Lets audience sing lyric]
Oh - yes I am
Ha ha ha
As I watched my mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought to break with my bread
Taking no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice
Got to see them, make them pay that price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time
Am I evil? Yes I am
Come on yeah yeah
Yes I am
Oo - you betcha, man!
[Battery]
Hey there!
Yow!
Yeah![?]
[Instrumental Intro]
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
[Short Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never-ending potency
Hungry violence-seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
[Chorus]
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery
Ooo - Battery
Heeeeyy!
[Guitar Solo]
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Battery
Battery
Hey!
Oooh!
Thank you very much, Moscow
We'll see you some time soon, I hope
Yeah!
Thank you! For you, man, very good!
We'll see you around! Thank you!
