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
Thoughts 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 in to 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

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 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

Hear me, I hear your call
Obey, I'd give it all
If all my fears come to light

Hear me, I hear your call
Obey, I'd give it all
If all my dreams come to life
