Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deceased in mind decree of death
Blackened heart baptized in fire
Exertion now need to blitz
Vicious ways brought up in Hell
[Verse 2]
Draw the line life or death
Potent thrust excessive pain
Massive dose adrenalin
Minor threat cannot decline
[Verse 3]
Stricken to live Hell on Earth
Shackled and bound we lie
Praise of death life's a dream
We're only living to die
[Verse 4]
Victim of life insanity lives
Deep in shock intensive care
Tables turned blast of strength
Kill at once time to prevail
[Verse 5]
Begin to crank feel the rush
Start to rage take to extremes
Push too far overkill
Time to die no way to win
[Verse 6]
Stricken to live Hell on Earth
Shackled and bound we lie
Praise of death life's a dream
We're only living to die
[Verse 7]
Lead: King
[Verse 8]
Running and hunting and slashing
And crushing and searching
And seeing and stabbing and shooting
And thrashing and smashing
And burning destroying and killing
And bleeding and pleading then death
[Verse 9]

[Verse 11]
At Mach 10 velocity
Pressure builds can't take the strain
Life blood flows to its grave
Dripping sweat, death shall erase
[Verse 12]
Time to think time to breath
Feel the pulse life will expire
Surging speed Hell afast
Cardiac cease to exist
[Verse 13]
Stricken to live Hell on Earth
Shackled and bound we lie
Praise of death life's a dream
We're only living to die
[Verse 14]
Lead: King
