Stone Cold Jesus
Overkill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bought a one-way ticket to the resurrection
Got devil gone down on me
It's a non-stop, no meal, no connection
Devil-devil all over me
Hero baby, here baby plant one on your daddy's cheek
Got devil all over me
I'll be gone for a minute but no more that a week
Devil-devil all over me
Gone through livin' just for dyin'
Hear what I say
Tacked to a six by nine
To please us
Look like you get what you want
You a stone cold Jesus
There's a movement to, yeah thare's an inc?
Got devil gone down on me
With a one-man, two-bit congregation
Devil-devil all over me
Here baby,here baby hammer down on the weak
Got devil all over me
With eternty gone you will inherit the meek
Devil-devil all over me
Gone through livin' just for dyin'
Gone through laughin', gone through cryin'
Hear what I say
You know I seem to lost my way
Seem to happen everyday
Not sure where I'm goin'
Or where I been
You know it seems to cover me
With full-blow mediocrity
Not sure where I'm goin'
Or where I sinned
In quiet desperation claw
On my soul I feel them gnaw
Without hesitation render me
Unconscious in too much too soon
I long for days inside the womb
Without hesitation comfort me
I wait for salvation come
You know it keep me on the run
And put me in this place and keep me here
I know I got my cross to bear
I keep it with me everywhere




Keeps me in the race that keep me here
Got a stone cold Jesus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Overkill's "Stone Cold Jesus" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest a narrative of a person who is caught in a web of temptation and sin. The lyrics describe a person who has bought a one-way ticket to the resurrection, indicating a desire for redemption, but also acknowledges the devil is all over them. This suggests that the person is struggling with temptation and cannot seem to shake off the feeling of being weighed down by their sins. The lyrics also mention a hero baby who plants one on their daddy's cheek, which could refer to seeking comfort from a loved one.


The line "gone through livin' just for dyin'" seems to suggest a sense of hopelessness or despair, while the mention of being "tacked to a six by nine" could refer to being trapped or confined in some way. The lyrics also mention a "stone cold Jesus," which is challenging to interpret but could refer to a distorted understanding of religious faith or seeking salvation in an unrealistic way.


Overall, the song's lyrics suggest a sense of struggle and desperation, perhaps related to temptation, addiction, or sin. The imagery used in the song evokes a sense of entrapment, confusion, and a longing for redemption.

Most bands strive to make one album different from the other, these guys manage to make each song sound unique which is a thing that a few Metal bands manage to do.

EpiK Lightz

Overkill / Motorhead / Ramones / AC/DC / Cannibal Corpse / Iron Maiden probably too?
Testament/Kreator was so close but technically they change the sound 3 times

My friends from Virginia.. Lamb of god.

An unusual pick for sure but I'm not gonna argue with an overkill fan! Long live Overkill!!

Iordache Sorin

like how the logo synchs with the bass intro...also, one of the best tracks on necroshine. Would love to see Evil Never Dies in the future.

Living For The Kill

E.N.D. is approaching... just KILLing you all slowly.  >:D
