Overkill II
Overkill Lyrics

Strangled in this knot of sin,
Feeling trapped and entangled in a web of sinful activities and thoughts.

He returns, again begins.
The feeling of being drawn back to the same sin-filled behaviors, over and over again.

Again to bend, and tear the will.
Continually succumbing to temptation and having your willpower broken down by it.

A witness to this Overkill!!!
A description of the destructive forces at play, consuming and taking over the person's character.

Awaken! Awaken in me,
A call for some kind of divine inspiration or guidance to illuminate something within the self that is not readily accessible.

Through my eyes! through my eyes you will see,
By taking a new perspective and looking at the world through fresh eyes, you can discover hidden truths and ideas.

What is real, what is to be.
This line expresses a theme of questioning reality and what the future has in store.

All the madness, madness in me...
This line speaks to the idea of having a lot of chaos, confusion, and darkness within oneself.

You taste the blood that I long for,
This line gives a feeling of coveting something violent or aggressive, and feeling like it is a part of oneself that needs to be sated.

Regain my strength and complete my chore...!
The idea of needing to engage in an aggressive action to feel restored or accomplished in some way.

Like a serpent!, poised to strike.
A metaphor for someone who is stealthy and dangerous, waiting for the right moment to attack.

Like the moon... that, fills the night.
A description of a bright force that illuminates the darkness and can control the tides.

You, the question, answer they cried.
In this context, this line is about someone figuring themself out and gaining clarity.

You've always been destined to ride.
This is an idea that suggests a sort of fated or predetermined path, that pre-dates someone's existence.

Passion rests in an empty will,
This line is almost a paradox, suggesting that someone may have a lot of passion inside them but feels unfulfilled or empty.

The nightmare continues.
An indication that the situation being described is not a desirable one and may feel unending.

Into the night!
An intense sense of urgency or moving into the unknown, potentially dangerous territory.

A rider goes then disappears,
A metaphor for someone who moves through life, sometimes unheard of for long periods of time.

Out! of the light.
Emphasizes the idea of being plunged into darkness.

He reappears again.
A sense that the same mystery person mentioned before has resurfaced and is back on the move.

Beware!
An immediate warning to take heed of something dangerous or potentially violent.

One eye does follow you.
A feeling of being monitored, watched or pursued.

To kill again!
A statement of intent, with violent undertones.

And again!!!
Hopelessness, indicating that this kind of violence may keep continuing and never end.

Slow and sure, a beating heart.
A metaphor for someone who moves with purpose and determination, even if this kind of behavior may be violent or negative.

Is sure to have, the killing starts
The way that someone moves, with a sense of purpose and deadliness, is likely to result in violence.

The beating stops, fin de la vie.
This line suggests that someone will eventually end up dead as a result of their violent tendencies.

Overkill rides again!!!
A definitive statement that the person, Overkill, is absolutely still at large and moving forward with their negative agenda.

A killer like no man,
A description of someone who is particularly unique and deadly, considering what they are capable of.

A faster death, by one's own hand.
The idea that someone is more destructive and dangerous than even death itself, and may be able to bring about their own destructive end.

Safety comes, when the wind is still.
An idea that suggests that people are safest when the world around them is quiet and uninfected by negativity or trouble.

This the legend, Overkill!
A definitive declaration that Overkill is a figure that has existed for a long time and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
