Killing For A Living |
| A sense of peace was falling on the universal night |
| And it gave me a pause to reason why I live |
| To never cease the calling of the consequential right |
| And it gave me cause and reason why they give |
| 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 it came apart |
| And the sum of the parts became whole |
| Stalking and hunting, profession in blood |
| Working the night to a throne |
| Chalking an outline, experience must |
| Invisible, never alone |
| I can take you anywhere |
| Take all that you give |
| I can free you from despair |
| Killing just to live |
| Live to kill |
| Kill to live |
| Killing for a living, killing just to live |
| I looked across the answers, though questions didn’t exist |
| And found that I was never alone |
| We cut away the cancer and continued to resist |
| But the outcome of the night remained unknown |
| 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 |
| Bleeding a nation, casualty time |
| Breaking the back of the core |
| Promised salvation, a casual crime |
| Feeding and fucking the whore |
| Make my living on borrowed time |
| I make the clock stand still |
| Keep my hands 'round what is mine |
| Living just to kill |
| Live to kill |
| Kill to live |
| C’mon now kill a little kindness, give the worst of your best |
| C’mon now and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest |
| I can give you reasons, 2−5 to the bone |
| They can give you all you ever wanted |
| When you’re far away from home |
| C’mon now kill a little kindness, give the worst of your best |
| C’mon now and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest |
| So as the plot will thicken and time is not a friend |
| The blessing comes but one in a life |
| Across the crowded universe that hastens to an end |
| Through memories of one time in a night |
| 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 |
