Annihilator - King Of The Kill lyrics



Tracks



01. The Box

I am a box, I am a screen
I'm every nightmare, I'm every dream
I am the window over your land
so turn me on, come take my hand
don't push me
I offer you scandal, I offer a wealth
of gratuitous violence, hazardous to your health
I give the vision, of how life should be
I choose your heroes, come follow me
Come follow me
it's just a box, it's just a screen
it's only a nightmare, it's only a dream
we give the vision, of how life should be
we choose our own heroes, come follow me

02. King Of The Kill

I rule the jungle, I rule it with pride
I'm judge and jury, your life I decide
I have awaken for my nightly feast
A reign of terror, beware of the beast

Don't try to run, there's no way to survive
A vicious surrender, I'll eat you alive
No one is safe until I get my kill
All hear my warning, I'm king of the kill
KILL

Stalking the land for the scent of my prey
Stopping for nothing, don't get in my way
Left to the vultures, your life is denied
I rule the jungle I rule it with pride

Don't try to run, there's no way to survive
A vicious surrender, I'll eat you alive
No one is safe until I get my kill
All hear my warning, I'm king of the kill
KILL

03. Annihilator

the storm is coming closer
spreading out, infecting like disease (like a disease)
all life below, is crushed under the power of machine

Annihilator (this machine) Annihilator
Annihilator (this machine) Annihilator
rumble

lightning rips the sky at night
his power paints the city blood red (blood red)
nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
don't look behind cause you're dead

Annihilator (now you're dead) Annihilator
Annihilator (now you're dead) Annihilator

you're trapped alone, filled with fear
there's no one to help you
the storm is coming closer
spreading out, infecting like disease (like a disease)
all life below is crushed under the power of machine

Annihilator (this machine) Annihilator
Annihilator (this machine) Annihilator
rumble

04. Bad Child

My father tried to tell me son just get your feet on the ground
you're in deep way over your head just turn your life around
poor mother, all I ever gave to her was pain - I didn't realise
the last thing I remember was the tears running from her eyes
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
something happened they'd always say - I was a little wild
I was a bad child

playing hookey, drinkin octane, I didn't care anymore - no
always running against the grain, I was rotten to the core
I could live forever - until they threw me out the door
I was sleeping on the floor
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
something happened they'd always say - I was a little wild

I was a bad child

My father tried to tell me son just get your feet on the ground
you're in deep way over your head, I've turned my life around
my mother was the best to me, I guess I never realized
one thing that I'll never forget was the tears running from her
eyes
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
something happened they'd always say - I was a little wild
some along the way now I'm living for a better day
something happened along the way - I was a bad child
running wild

05. 21

Welcome to the hothouse, the game is called 21
I was in debt right up to my neck, I wasn't having any fun
but then the dealer turned around, she looked me right in the eye
I got no time for messing around, but you know I had to give it
a try

she got me under the gun - she can't have 21

she asked me why I wasn't taking my time, sweat running down my
neck
I had the 6, the lady got 9 from the bottom of the deck
a 4 for me, it was a good thing, but she was sitting on a face
I said hit me with your best shot and she gave me the ace

she got me under the gun - she can't have 21
I've got to be the chosen one - she can't have 21
I've gotta win, I've gotta win or I might as well be dead
God let me win, just let me win, or I might as well be dead
Deuce's up, dealer has 21

07. Second To None

Hello, are you looking for me?
I'm the one to ease your pain
just call me "doctor" and I'll prescribe cocain
I am your reason to live
I'm your church and I'm your pastor
c'mon, you've got nothing to lose
it's time to bring you up a little faster
it's not the first time that you've taken the bait
you don't need anyone cause I will be your soul mate
c'mon and taste me, I'll take you where you want to go
let's fly to the mountains, you can bury yourself in the snow

it's time to kill, lets have some fun
you'll fight, I'll win, cause I'm second to none
you need me and I want you cause I'm the devils son
you'll fight, I'll win, cause I'm second to none

welcome to my world, I hope you see there's no way out
just look around you, I'll take you higher so just scream
sceam it out

I am your reason to live, I'm the power that runs in the veins
you can bet your ass, I'll take you down but
you've only yourself to blame

08. Hell Is A War

hiding in the darkness, sheltered from the rain
my mom and dad are gone now, I'm alone again
is anybody out there? does anybodycare?
I don't wanna live here anymore, I don't wanna live

see the people suffering, watch the children die
doesn't it make you wonder why?
money and power, the television's red
one by one, they collect the dead

hell is a war, hell, what is it for?
they'll slay the innocent and every mothers son
to get the ethnic cleansing done
hey Mr.Politician, what are you gonna do?
this nightmare's up to you
stopping for nothing, I fire at will
in the name of my religion I shoot to kill
to kill
Hell is a war

09. Speed

I'm on a mission, I'm gonna break the speed of sound
my pulse is racing, I'm gonna have to chase you down
acceleration gotta, gotta go faster
give me more speed
they say I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
give me more speed
no competition,left in my dust - they'll never learn
this is my rocket, my aviation fuel is set to burn
you wanna rock and roll at a million miles an hour
just put your foot to the floor, c'mon and feel the power
I know exactly what I'm after
I know exactly what I need
I need the speed

10. In The Blood

The lamb and the lion - I destroyed you
I tore your world apart
I left the pieces bleeding in the dark
The light and the darkness - come between us
I built a wall of tears
I built it straight through your heart
it's in the blood - running through my veins
the pain inside is driving me insane
I've done it all before and I'll do it again and again
cause it's in the blood - it's in the blood
the dream and the nightmare
lay on the pillow beside you every night
cause what you see is what you get - from me
The light and the darkness - come between us
I built a wall of tears
I built it straight through your heart
it's in the blood - running through my veins
the pain inside is driving me insane
I've done it all before and I'll do it again and again
cause it's in the blood - it's in the blood
deep in my dreams
I'm all you want from me
I'm all of light, I'm electricity
The light and the darkness - come between us

11. Catch The Wind

[Instrumental]

13. Fiasco

You take the time to cut me down
you're a fool, you're the talk of the town
so jealous, can't you see
it's your own insecurity
your life is a mess, slightly obsessed
are you a paranoid schizo?
what a fiasco
looking for scandal, you're under the gun
cause I'm having so much fun
they say you're missing a screw
this laugh is just for you, ha!
I don't hold any grudges
I'm such a nice guy
forgive and forget or better yet
goodbye
