      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

 Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me

 Cannot stop the battery

 Pounding out agression, turned into obsession

 Cannot stop the battery
 
 Riff 3 (first 2 bars)
 
 E5              B5      G5	    F#/Eb

 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!! :)
