Overkill
Album • 1999
You can take me out of my hell, you can't take the hell on out of me Watch me here as I get, but be careful what you see, oh yeah! I cut across the waste, some live and some enshrined I look into the light of the necroshine Don't you worry 'bout me, you know I'm doin' fine Basking in the light of the necroshine In the name of all that's sacred, in the name of misery Watch me here as I turn red and remember what you see, oh yeah! I hunger for a taste to fill my glass with wine Away from the right, into the necroshine Don't you ever doubt me as you walk the line Guided by the light of the necroshine I think that I have been reborn just a little better than before I think I tried to tell myself that I needed just a little more They always tried to sell me, hang me what I couldn't use Always tried to get a little better with an offer that I can't refuse You can take me full of fire, you can take me as you find Or you can leave me here where you gonna see me guided by the necroshine... Don't you worry 'bout me, you know I'm doin' fine Basking in the light of the necroshine Don't you ever doubt me as you walk the line Guided by the light, guided by the light of the necroshine

When I look into your eyes it keeps me together When I hear your private lies I don't feel any better Clouds will gather over me, rain will soak me down As I remember my December Just to the left, upon what is left On the left side of the dawn Leaving the traces, forgotten the faces Of the last December morn Nothing but the truth is all I wanted Everything I had was always counted Clouds will gather over me, lightning strike me down As I remember my December Just to the left, upon what is left On the left side of the dawn Leaving the traces, forgotten the faces Of the last December morn From the hand of god that squeeze me To the firestorm that feeds me... in my December In a world too much for the likes of man who can't remember Clouds will gather over me, in misery I drown My December, my December Just to the left, upon what is left On the left side of the dawn Leaving the traces, forgotten the faces Of the last December morn From the hand of god that squeeze me To the firestorm that feeds me... in my December In a world too much for the likes of man who can't remember

It took three damn days for the mission man Heard he's comin' straight from hell With a fast track bleedin' and siren screamin' If you don't listen you could never tell Three days dead and risin' Where you goin' now? I wish you well Three days dead and risin' With a half head full of dreams I could never sell Oh, let us prey... Three days gone for the mission man Three days gone and risin' Three days gone, hear the mission man say Time to get down to business -- Let us prey! He walked in like the duke, he was the mission man He had death leakin' from his eyes Machine gun bigger with his linger of the trigger Said it took me three days to rise Three days dead and risin' I think these here are yours; I couldn't tell Three days dead and risin' Then he handed on back the dreams that he couldn't sell Oh, let us prey... Three days gone for the mission man Three days gone and risin' Three days gone, hear the mission man say: "Time to get down to business" -- Let us prey! Lord, I got a bleeder, it's a fast jet feeder And it nailed me down tight for the rest of my life It's a double damn shot-o, a'what I need when I want it And it's givin' me redemption through the darkest of night Lord, I lost the lightenin', it was so damn frightenin' And it pulled me up close like I was losin my life Was a double damn shot, knocked me down; yeah, I got it And it givin' me some light through the rest of my life Three days dead and risin' I think these here are yours; I couldn't tell Three days dead and risin' Then he handed on back the dreams that he couldn't sell Oh, let us prey... Three days gone for the mission man Three days gone and risin'.!.

I'm just a little nervous, just a little back-off who you know I don't think they deserve us as they sit back, back-off, here we go I don't care if you love me, I don't care it's about just who you blow I don't have all the answers, I just want to know- How low can you go? How low can you go? It's just a lot of crosstalk, I don't think they listen anyway I got hit in the crosswalk; best be careful, back up what you say I know you don't love me, but I know just exactly what you show I don't want all the answers, I just want to know- How low can you go? How low can you go? Eighty cycles hummin' like a big twin comin' Eighty cycles comin', I know How low can you go? Slow... Listen! Bottom out, discount 80 cycles goin' south, goin' wherever I go Kick start, motor mount, 80 cycles in your mouth 80 cycles comin' I know Go to! Live free, got gas 80 cycles in your ass, lower that I wanna go Die free, sacrifice, 80 cycles pay the price 80 cycles comin' I know Once more! Your move, buckshot 80 cycles slingshot, one thing I wanna know Bad move, dog food, 80 cycles too rude How low, how low, how low can you go.?. 80 cycles runnin' like a big train comin' 80 cycles runnin', I know How low can you go.?.
Got a better night, got a better for somebody kill me Got a better tight; for me it seem better that I ever had known before How do you see with blindness all around you? How do you understand? And when you see the enemy surround you, when do you show hand? Got to leave it alone Call me a nation Got to leave it at home Call me a brand new revelation, a new revelation! I am a homicide, just a shadow waiting for a casket I am preoccupied; you know I think someone want to kill me How can you bleed with vultures all around you? How can you give them hope? How can you sleep with murderers inside you? I could never cope Got to leave it alone Call me a nation Got to leave it at home Call me a brand new- I feel your cold hand lying over me I feel the underside, your generosity And I hear the angels singing; do they sing for me? I feel your cold hand, I feel your cold hand... How can you sleep at night.?. How can you bleed with vultures all around you? How do you understand? How can you sleep with murderers inside you? When do you show your hand? Got to leave it alone Call me a nation Got to leave it at home Call me a brand new- Got to leave it alone Call me a nation Got to leave it at home Call me a brand new revelation, brand new revelation.!.

Bought a one-way ticket to the resurrection ~Got devil gone down on me~ It's a non-stop, no meal, no connection ~Devil, devil all over me~ Here, baby, here, baby, plant one on your daddy's cheek ~Got devil all over me~ I'll be gone for a minute but no more that a week ~Devil, devil all over me~ Gone through livin' just for dyin', hear what I say: Tacked to a six by nine to please us Look like you're what you want You're a stone cold Jesus, a stone cold Jesus There's a movement to, yeah, there's an inclination ~Got devil gone down on me~ With a one-man, two-bit congregation ~Devil, devil all over me~ Here, baby, there, baby, hammer down on the weak ~Got devil all over me~ With eternity gone you will inherit the meek, yeah ~Devil, devil all over me~ Gone through livin' just for dyin' Gone through laughin', gone through cryin', hear what I say: Tacked to a six by nine to please us Look like you're what you want You're a stone cold Jesus, a stone cold Jesus You know I seem to lost my way, seem to happen everyday Not sure where I'm goin' or where I been You know it seems to cover me with full-blow mediocrity Not sure where I'm goin' or where I sinned In quiet desperation claw on my soul I feel them gnaw Without hesitation render me Unconscious in too much too soon, I long for days inside the womb Without hesitation comfort me I wait for salvation come, you know it keep me on the run And put me in this place and keep me here I know I got my cross to bear, I keep it with me everywhere Keeps me in the race that keep me here Got a stone cold Jesus... Tacked to a six by nine to please us Look like you're what you want You're a stone cold Jesus, stone cold Jesus...

You point that little finger out You got four pointing back at you It goes everywhere you go, do everything you do He got roughed up on the inside He screaming that this ain't fair And in a block?? moment alone on the outside Thought that no one cared, all right! ~You want me! You need me! You have me!~ -- I'm yours! So he puts in a call to his only friend He dials 1-800-FEAR Then he hid his face inside his hands You know he wasn't very clear Said I'm roughed up on the inside You know that this ain't lair And in a New York Minute he felt like a million 'Cause he knew somebody cared and said: "I have but a nation in me for everyone to see I am but a tribute to mediocrity I'm your mother, father, brother, son I'm a little bit of everyone Hide in the shadow, cast by the sun In constant misery - I'm fear!" ~You want me! You need me! You have me!~ -- I'm yours! Yes, I know you've always loved me ~Call me now, between the tears!~ I know you put no one above me ~Call me now, between the tears!~ -- I'm fear! Call me now, uncover me Watch me work, it's what I do Call me now, uncover me Watch me work and watch what I undo.!. So he broke up all his fingers white pulling out his fair And he's broken into a million pieces; no, nobody cared He was beat-up on the inside, fighting to survive Spent a long time dyin'; no, not for tryin' When you want to feel alive Seem like total chaos everywhere you turn Seem like you like it every time you burn When you're wiped out on the inside you can't catch your breath And in a black out moment alone on the outside Beat him right to dead, all right! ~You want me! You need me! You have me!~ -- I'm yours! Yes, I know you've always loved me ~Call me now, between the tears!~ I know you put no one above me ~Call me now, between the tears!~ -- I'm fear!

My eyes hang from their sockets, I wear a ball and chain Can you hear the rockets exploding in my brain? -- They go... I feel the insecurity, I feel the sting of pain The upside of insanity; I side with the insane -- They go... They come across the black and white, they ravage me with fear I can close my eyes down tight and make them disappear You know, I feel like a dead man, ~dead man...~ D-d-d-dead man what got you here? A little wrinkled little smeared I can shut my eyes down tight and make you disappear -- Then I fall down...
