Skull Parade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this nightmare wake me up
And I need you I need you now
'Cause I need you I need you somehow
Take me take me now
And release me anyhow
I don't want to feel this way
There's no god here
I need someone to kill the pain
Oh yeah it's gonna drag me down
And I've got nothing to die for
Oh yeah it's gonna drag you down
Are you scared
Too late too late now
There's no leaving no return
As we're sending ourselves away
Oh I need you I need you today
Oh yeah it's gonna drag me down
And I've got nothing to die for
Oh yeah it's gonna drag you down
Are you scared
Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
Oh yeah it's gonna drag me down
And I've got nothing to die for
Oh yeah it's gonna drag you down
Are you scared
Are you scared
It's gonna drag you down

on Killing for love
Final solution, Killing for love
Unholy land, Tears turn to blood
Where have you been, Where have you gone
Nothing is sacred, Nothing is wrong
See the fire burning in your eyes
Like the heat is falling from the sky
Feel the fear of those about to hide
It´s a matter if you do or die
Killing for justice, I feel so alive
I´m stuck in this town, I´m biding my time
Where have you been, Where have you gone
Nothing is sacred, Nothing is wrong
See the fire burning in your eyes
Like the heat is falling from the sky
Feel the fear of those about to hide
It´s a matter if you do or die
Wasted!
Take me higher with your burning eyes, nothing´s sacred
I am burning and I don´t know why, I don´t know why
See the fire burning in your eyes
Like the heat is falling from the sky
Feel the fear of those about to hide
It´s a matter if you do or die
Killing for love
Killing for love
Killing for love
Killing for love
