Welcome to Overkill's Under the Influence Lyrics Page!
Shred
Last time you saw me
I was walking' out the door
Got a nasty habit
A comin'
Back for more
Ain't just a threat..NO!
It's a promise
Well kept
So when all is said and done
I came to shred
Chorus
Shred
Simply stated
Shred
In a word
Shred
Simply stated
Dirty little rumor
Circulation around
Spreadin' like a plague
In every little town
Capturing the spirit
And goin'
To the head
Comin' from a blindspot
Comin' out to shred
Repeat Chorus
GO!
Next time you see me
I'll be walkin'
In that door
And All those nasty habits
Risin' up
Once more
Here comes the promise
In actions
Not said
So make no bones about it
I'm back to shred
Repeat Chorus
Never say never
I climb the mountain
For all to see
Systematic ascension
Is a part of me
I've felt the fire Been taken over
I'm pushin' forward
And gettin' closer
From the fire to the streets
I've seen it all
I've melted in the heat
I heard the call
And then a brand new day
A chance to be reborn
I've seen another day
No time to sit and mourn
Chorus
There's a light
That shines
At the tunel's end
It lights my every step
I came here to win
Never say never
Shadows of things
That might have been
Or another sunset simply gone
Ponder questions
Without answers
Indecision
Spread like cancer
Wash the dirt
From beneath your nails
One has tried
One has never failed
I'm getting closer
Can see the top
And when I started
Knew I'd never stop
The road was long and hard
The climb was rough
But to a greater end
Ya hang tough
Pulled it from inside of me
It drove me forever
Didn't want to sit and rot
Wanted better
From the fire to the streets
From the fire to the streets
From the fire to the streets
You never, never
Never say never
Repeat Chorus
End Of The Line
Take a look
Take a good long look
And tell me
What you see
Through time passing
Make a stand
In your way
Leaves way too much for me
On the edge
Standing
I was there when lightning struck
I watched the idols fall
I could see it coming
Could read the writing
On the wall
Chorus
Time
Time after time
End of the line
We stand and watch it fade away
Sign of the time
Is the end of the line
It's your move
So play it right
Sometimes you get just
One chance
Supersticious, no!
If I had the time
I still wouldn't dance
I was there
When ligtning struck and yes I
Kept my head
I could feel them coming
Could feel the living dead
Chorus
Save your breath
Don't pray for me
Pray for yourself
Through time
Kneeling
It's the end
It snuck up
Quick and took you by surprise
The waiting's over
I was there
When the lightning struck
I watched the idols crawl
It was the second coming
It was written on that wall
Repeat Chorus
Head first
I push to the left
You pull to the right
It's a standoff
Gainin' no ground
Outta the dark
And into the lights
It's a break through
Startin' with sound
I can't forget the look
On your face
In shock
Startin' ta sweat
All wet
Make a bet
It hasn't even started yet
But I got a nickel
That sez it will
Chorus
Head first
Head first
Head first
You'll compromise
You'll let us in
you'll spread'em wide
We're divin' in head first
Head first
Climb on the horse
And start to ride
Slow curves
Swingin' my bat
Up down the front
And side to side
Code blue
We need it stat
I got the reason
That makes you go
In mid-air
Suspended animation
Layin' down on the rug
Start it with a little tug
And I got a nickel
That sez you will
Chorus
It all starts
With a kiss of death
Move on
Down to ya knees
In head first
Take a deep breath
Down there
You look so at ease
It all ends
With an all out dive
This time
I think ya do
Say you will
Say you won't
I don't care if you don't
But I got a nickel
That sez you do
Chorus
Overkill III - Under the influence
Shall I wake
Or shall I sleep
With dreams so warm
So soft so deep
A never ending tale
Enhanced
A never ending thought
Entranced
Take from me
What you need
Take my heart
My soul, my seed
A lasting presence
Inside my mind
At last a presence>
A contract signed
Turned my back
When I first saw you
Turned to stone
When I ignored you
Then something greater
Then my will
Turned me 'round
To Overkill
From the shadows
Called my name
From the cold
Into the flame
The wings around me
Kept me warm
Through hollow eyes
I was reborn
All around me
Once despised
Could see the world now
Through his eyes
A people lead by blind ambition
Signed on for life
Into submission
Chorus
Hear me
I hear your call
Obey
I'd give it all
If all my dreams come to life
Hear me
I hear your call
Obey
I'd give it all
If all my fears come to light
Shall I wake or shall I dream
Shall I become just what it seems
A never ending tale fulfilled
A never ending Overkill
To see
To taste
To touch the world
In jaded glory
Danced and whirled
To see it happen
As was told
As new beginings
Now unfold
Light the sky
The glow above
See the bat
Eat the dove
Another stage
Completed mission
Signed on for life
Into submission
Chorus
Hello From The Gutter
All those dreams
And broken glass
Swept down the sewer
With the rest of the trash
Never to be seen again
Now you're makin' a home
In a garbage can
But here's a little story that I lived to tell
Hello from the gutter
Hello from our little hell
Wasted days
Wasted nights
Hypnotized by the city lights
Another king
Another queen
Livin' in the shadows
So they can't be seen
Remember all the world
Lies at your feet
And the big apple's rotten
Rotting in the heat
Rotten in the heat
Chorus
Hello hello
Hello from the gutter
Hello Hello
Gutter child
Sweet sixteen
Broadway stars
That have never been
All those dreams
And broken glass
Swept down the sewer
With the rest
Of the trash
Well here's a little story
That we lived to tell
Hello from the gutter
Hello from our little hell
Chorus
Mad Gone World
Cuttin through confusion
Takes you far away
Confusing an illusion
With thoughts that go astray
In a world gone mad
And thriving
In the boundaries of your brain
Imprisoned in a world
Created solely for the purpose
Of a crunch
What ya see
And what ya feel
Are nothing, nothing real
A visionary climax
An imagery
So clear
Losing touch or reason
Both quickly slip away
Imprisoned in a world
Created solely for the purpose
Of a..
Chorus
Save me from this
Mad gone world
Save me from myself
Save me from this mad gone world
I need help
Save me from this mad gone world
Save me from decisions
Save me from this mad gone world
And indecision
One million minutes
One million nights
One milion dreams
I've had
And a million fights
Livin' in a mad gone world
Livin' blind
Livin' with this
Worldly madness
Is just a state of mind
State of mind
Mad
Mad gone world
Repeat Chorus
Brainfade
Spit it out
Suck it in
Let that genius flow
All the answers
To all questions
There's nothing you don't know
Experience is an asset
When you've done most everything
Just call it intuition
Just call it anything
Chorus
Watch him fade
Our jack of all trades
He's backed against the wall
Watch him fade
He's quite afraid
He'll contradict it all
I know you
I like a book
I know all the lies
I know that you know
Your mouth is catchin' flies
Blank expression
A burnt out of bulb
A thimble full of wit
Endless stories
Never follow
In short you're full of shit
Chorus
To an all but captive audience
Watch out
Here it comes
Brainfade
Bridge
Take a minute to think
Brainfade
Stop flappin' you gums
Brainfade
You're gettin in deep
Brainfade
And I'm falling asleep
When you're talkin' to me
Brainfade
It's easy to see
Brainfade
That what comes outta your mouth
Brainfade
I can't believe
Brain-fade
Brain-fade
Spit it out
Suck it in
Let that genius flow
All the answers
To all questions
There's nothin' you don't know
Blind expressions
A burnt out bulb
A thimble full of wit
Endless stories
Never follow
In short you're full of shit
Repeat Chorus
Drunken Wisdom
Stop cryin'
Ain't feelin' sorry for you
Why don't you fade away
Got no time
No time for what I got to do
And get a message through
Kiss my ass
Your bitchin's a bore
Don't wanna hear it no more
So stop cyin'
Ain't feelin' nothin' for you
Don't like it there's the door
Pre-Chorus
Sorry if I'm not as nice
As you could be
Why don't you take the time to see
That the world
Does not revolve around you
And we got better things to do
You're starvin'
Just starvin' to talk
I think you know it all
I'm sick
I eat this shit everyday
why don't we give you a call
Authoritative
And a reason to live
You answer questions for me
Opinionated
With a brain like a sieve
Why don't you let it be
Pre-Chorus
Come back here
Drink our beer
Bend my ear
With no idea
Wrong or right
A true philosopher
Defining our performance
Why don't you get yourself a life
Just get the fuck out
We don't care
What they say
We'll be there tomorrow
Like we're here today
And all the criticism in the world
Won't change a note we play
Pre-Chorus
Mix it up
Throw it down
We came to play
Not to mess around
We don't care
What they say
We'll be there tomorrow
Like we're here today
Don't do it for the money
Do it for the thrill
True to life is what you get
And we're livin'
For the kill
Pre-Chorus
Drunken
Wisdom
Drunken
Drunken
Drunken
Wisdom
Drunken
