     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 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)|

		     |

Bb5 F5 E5	     |  	Play this several

Bat-ter-y 	     |      times and then back to the next verse

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
