[Verse 1]
A sense of peace was falling
On the universal night
And it gave me pause
To reason why I live
To never cease the calling
Of a consequential right
And it gave me cause
And reason why they give

[Verse 2]
The first thing I remember
Was the shadow 'cross my heart
And they matched the beauty
Hidden in their soul
The next was 'cross the universe
As I came apart
And the sum of the parts
Became whole

[Pre-Chorus]
Stalking and hunting, profession in blood
Working the night to a throne
Chalking an outline, experience: must
Invisible, never alone
[Chorus]
I can take you anywhere
Take all that you give
I can free you from despair
Killing just to live

[Post-Chorus]
Killing for a living
Living just to kill

[Verse 3]
I looked across the answers
Though questions don't exist
And found that it was I
Never alone
We cut away the cancer
And continued to resist
But the outcome of the night
Remained unknown

[Verse 4]
The next thing I remember
Were the years across my face
And they matched only
The beauty of scars
The next was 'cross the universe
Into time and space
And to know together
We'd have to go too far
[Pre-Chorus]
Bleeding a nation, casualty time
Breaking the back of the core
Promised salvation, a casual crime
Feeding and fucking the whore

[Chorus]
Make my living on borrowed time
Make your clock stand still
Keep my hands 'round what is mine
Living just to kill

[Post-Chorus]
Kill to live, live to kill
Kill to live, live to... kill

[Refrain]
C'mon

[Bridge]
C'mon now and kill a little kindness
Give the worst your best
C'mon now and shake a little madness
Put the dead to rest

I can give you reasons
Two-five to the bone
They can give you all you ever wanted
When you're far away from home
C'mon now and kill a little kindness
Give the worst your best
C'mon now and shake a little madness
Put the dead to rest

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
So, as the plot will thicken
And time is not a friend
The blessing comes
But one time in life
Across the crowded universe
That hastens to an end
Through memories
Of one time in a night

[Verse 6]
And what will I remember
Through the by-and-by?
To have and hold and
Turn about the chill
That this was not
The pause to die
But to live to kill

[Pre-Chorus]
Stalking and hunting, profession in blood
Working the night to a throne
Chalking an outline, experience: must
Invisible, never alone

[Chorus]
I can take you anywhere
Killing just to live
I can free what bites and tears
Living just to kill

[Outro]
I can take you anywhere
Killing just to live
I can free what bites and tears
Living just to kill
