  1. Come crawling faster.
    Obey your Master.
    Your life burns faster.
    Obey your Master.
    Master!

    Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings.
    Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams.
    Blinded by me, you can't see a thing.
    Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream.
    Master!
    Master!
    Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream.
    Master!
    Master!

    Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
    Master, Master, you promised only lies.
    Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter.
    Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries.

    Metallica "Master of Puppets"

  2. So chaste, so calm, she gave herself
    To the pleasure of her dreaded master.
    He sucked the precious drops of life
    Throughout the long and cold dark night.

  3. I am putting the whole song this time because I love the message. Read and enjoy.

    When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire
    A youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire
    I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
    I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad

    I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well
    How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell
    This kind of sinful living leads only to a fall
    I learned that much and more the night I heard my Master call

    One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so
    And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico
    But a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about
    I thought someone was calling me, I thought I heard a shout

    Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me
    And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree
    And this time I knew I heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange
    A voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name

    So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
    I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run
    The cattle they stampeded, were running all around
    My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground

    I felt the end was near, that death would be the price
    When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ
    And I cried oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now
    I want to live for you alone, Oh God these words I vow

    My wicked past unfolded, I thought of wasted years
    When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers
    And the others rushed on by me and I was left to live
    The Master had a reason, life is his to take or give

    A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die
    The dead ones formed a barricade least six or seven high
    And right behind it there was I, afraid but safe and sound
    I cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground

    A pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free
    No more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea
    Forgiven by the love of God, a love that will remain
    I gave my life and soul the night the Saviour called my name

    Master's Call - Don Edwards, Marty Robbins, and various other artists

  5. Well it was battered and scared,
    And the auctioneer felt it was hardly worth his while,
    To waste much time on the old violin but he held it up with a smile,
    Well it sure ain’t much but its all we got left I guess we aught to sell it to,
    Oh, now who’ll start the bid on this old violin?
    Just one more and we’ll be through.

    And then he cried one give me one dollar,
    Who’ll make it two only two dollars who’ll make it three,
    Three dollars twice now that’s a good price,
    Now who’s gonna bid for me?
    Raise up your hand now don’t wait any longer the auctions about to end,
    Who’s got four Just one dollar more to bid on this old violin?

    Well the air was hot and the people stood around as the sun was setting low,
    From the back of the crowd a gray haired man,
    Came forward and picked up the bow,
    He wiped the dust from the old violin then he tightened up the strings,
    Then he played out a melody pure and sweet, sweeter than the Angels sing,
    And then the music stopped and the auctioneer,
    With a voice that was quiet and low he said now what am I bid,
    For this old violin and he held it up with a bow.

    And then he cried out one give me one thousand,
    Who’ll make it two only two thousand who’ll make it three,
    Three thousand twice you know that’s a good price,
    Common who’s gonna to bid for me?
    And the people cried out what made the change we don’t understand,
    Then the auctioneer stopped and he said with a smile,
    It was the touch of the Master’s hand.

    You know there's many a man with his life out of tune,
    Battered and scared with sin and he’s auctioned cheap,
    To a thankless world much like that old violin,
    Oh, but then the Master comes,
    And that old foolish crowd they never understand,
    The worth of a soul and the change that is rought,
    Just by one touch of the Masters hand.

    And then he cried out one give me one thousand,
    Who’ll make it two only two thousand who’ll make it three,
    Three thousand twice you know that’s a good price,
    Common who’s gonna bid for me?
    And the people cried out what made the change we don’t understand,
    Then the auctioneer stopped and he said with a smile,
    It was the touch, that’s all it was; it was the touch of the Master’s hand,
    It was the touch of the Master’s hand; oh, it was the touch of the Master’s hand.

    Touch of the Master's Hand
