Testo Killing for a Living - Overkill
Testo della canzone Killing for a Living (Overkill), tratta dall'album Ironbound
A sense of peace was falling on the universal night
And it gave me pause to reason why I live
Can never cease the calling of a consequential rite
And it gave me cause and reason why they give
The first thing I remember was the shadow across my heart
And it matched the beauty hidden in their soul
The nexus crossed the universe as I came apart
And the sum of the parts became whole
Stalking and hunting for flesh and in blood
Working the night to a throne
Chalking an outline, experience must
Invisible, never alone
I can take you anywhere, take all that you dare
I can free you from despair, killing just to live
Killing for a living, living just to kill
I looked across the answers, no questions, no exist
And found that it was I, never alone
We cut away the cancer and continued to resist
But the outcome of the night remained unknown
The next thing I remember were the ears across my face
And they matched only the beauty of the scars
The nexus crossed the universe into time and space
And to know together we'd have to go too far
Being a nation, casualty tied
Breaking the back of a corps
From a selfish and a casual crime
Feeding and fucking the whore
Made my living off borrowed time
Made your clock stand still
Keep my hands 'round what is mine
Living just to kill
Kill to live
Live to kill
Kill to live
Live to kill
Come on
Come on now and kill a little kindness
Give the worst your best
Come on now and shed a little madness
Put the dead to rest
I can give you reasons too far to the fore
They can give you all you ever wanted
When you're far away from home
Come on now and kill a little kindness
Give the worst your best
Come on now and shed a little madness
Put the dead to rest
So as the plot was thickened and time is not a friend
The blessing comes but one time in life
Across the crowded universe that hastens to an end
Through memories of one time in the night
And what will I remember through the bygone lie
To have and hold and turn about the chill
This was not the pause to die but to live to kill
Stalking and hunting for flesh and in blood
Working the night to a throne
Chalking an outline, experience must
Invisible, never alone
I can take you anywhere, killing just to live
I can free what life enters, living just to kill
I can take you anywhere, killing just to live
I can free what life enters, living just to kill
