Overkill  -  Overkill  III  (Under  The  Influence)    (LP  Version)

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
