Lyrics

Killer

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

At midnight, an hour from now... they're gonna flick the switch

Down the Hall, beyond the iron door... they're gonna end my life

I will see you all in Hell, isn't that where we all must go?

I will not tell you what I did... It doesn't matter now

I will not tell you how weird it is

To know exactly when you're gonna go

I am a killer

I'm gonna get what I deserve

I am a killer

They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

It is not the soul I sell, it's not the pain from hell

It is not the fear of dying, of that I was never afraid

I will see you all in hell, isn't that where we all must go?

Gazing at the iron door, while time is slipping away

What's really driving me insane

Is what to do with my final hour

I am a killer

I'm gonna get what I deserve

I am a killer

They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

I've got less than an hour to kill

I'm looking back at the life I've had to live

What a waste... what a mess

I should have never been born...

I hear them coming down the hall

I know they're coming for me

I don't need that silly Priest

Oh, just get on with the show

I am a killer

I'm gonna get what I deserve

I am a killer

They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

It's time...
