Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't resist, I want to kill them all
To everyone who abused me in the past
You're going to hell, the travel will be fast
You start to run, don't show me you face
Victims are faceless as they run away
My mother said you always have hit back
I start to hear the devil's song
You better run before all goes wrong
This gun knows this is not a joke
Revenge's everything, I will run amok
No one gets out alive!
I'll see you all bastards in the other side!
No one gets out alive!
Revenge's everything!
No one gets out alive!
This bullet is your ticket to a better life
No one gets out alive! but me!
Revenge's everything!
