Overkill II (The Nightmare Continues)

(album: Taking Over - 1987)

Strangled in this knot of sin
He returns, again begins
Again to bend, and tear the will
A witness to this Overkill

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

You taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore

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

Taste the blood that I long for
Regain my strength and complete my chore
Passion rests in an empty will
The nightmare continues

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

Slow and sure, a beating heart
Is sure to have, the killing starts
The beating stops, fin de la vie
Overkill rides again

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

A killer like no man
A faster death by one's own hand
Safety comes when the wind is still
This the legend, Overkill

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
