Overkill
Overkill III (Under the Influence)
[Intro]
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

Thoughts entranced

[Verse 1]
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
Than my will
Turned me round
To Overkill
[Verse 2]
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 led
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
[Bridge 1]
Shall I wake or shall I dream?
Shall I become just what it seems?
A never-ending tale fulfilled
A never-ending Overkill

[Bridge 2]
To see, to taste, to touch the world
In jaded glory, danced and whirled
To see it happen, as was told
As new beginnings 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]
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
[Instrumental Outro]
