[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
Strangled in this knot of sin
He returns, again begins
Again to bend and tear the will
A witness to this Overkill
[Verse 1]
Awaken, awaken in me
Through my eyes, through my eyes, you will see
What is real, what is to be
All the madness, madness in me
[Chorus]
You taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore
[Verse 2]
Like a serpent poised to strike
Like the moon that fills the night
You, the question, "answer," they cried
You've always been destined to ride
[Chorus]
You taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore
Passion rests in an empty will
The nightmare continues
[Refrain]
Into the night
A rider goes, then disappears
Out of the light
He reappears again
Beware
One eye does follow you
To kill again
And again
[Bridge]
Slow and sure, a beating heart
Is sure to have the killing start
The beating stops, fin de la vie
Overkill rides again
[Refrain]
Into the night
A rider goes, then disappears
Out of the light
He reappears again
Beware
One eye does follow you
To kill again
And again
[Verse 3]
A killer like no man
A faster death by one's own hand
Safety comes when the wind is still
This legend, Overkill
[Chorus]
Taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore
Passion rests in an empty will
The nightmare continues
Taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore
Taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore
