Overkill - Killing For A Living lyrics

rate me

A sense of peace was falling on the universal night

And it gave me a pause to reason why I live

To never cease the calling of the consequential right

And it gave me cause and reason why they give

The first thing I remember was the shadow 'cross my heart

And they matched the beauty hidden in their soul

The next was 'cross the universe, as it came apart

And the sum of the parts became whole

Stalking and hunting, profession 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 give

I can free you from despair

Killing just to live

Live to kill

Kill to live

Killing for a living, killing just to live

I looked across the answers, though questions didn't exist

And found that I was 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 years across my face

And they matched only the beauty of scars

The next was 'cross the universe into time and space

And to know together, we'd have to go too far

Bleeding a nation, casualty time

Breaking the back of the core

Promised salvation, a casual crime

Feeding and fucking the whore

Make my living on borrowed time

I make the clock stand still

Keep my hands 'round what is mine

Living just to kill

Live to kill

Kill to live

C'mon now kill a little kindness, give the worst of your best

C'mon now and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest

I can give you reasons, 2-5 to the bone

They can give you all you ever wanted

When you're far away from home

C'mon now kill a little kindness, give the worst of your best

C'mon now and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest

So as the plot will thicken and time is not a friend

The blessing comes but one in a life

Across the crowded universe that hastens to an end

Through memories of one time in a night

And what will I remember through the by and by

To have and hold and turn about the chill

That this was not the pause to die

But to live to kill<br />

<br />
