Master of Awesome

Q: What do I have in common with the following cylinder?

A: We are both graduated.

To all to whom these presents may come, greeting:
We, the governors, principal, and fellows of McGill University testify that
Nicholas Eugene Rudzicz
Having diligently completed the required course of study and performed
The prescribed exercises has been admitted to the degree of
MASTER OF SCIENCE
With all the honours, privileges, and prerogatives pertaining to that degree

Let us now celebrate with the singing of that ancient traditional graduation paean, sung by our forefathers of old:

End of passion play, crumbling away
I’m your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction

[Chorus]
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you

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
[End chorus]

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Chorus]

Master, Master, where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
Master, Master, promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Fix me!

[Guitar solo]

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

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
[Fade out with evil laughter]
