Kill Or Be Killed

(Kill, kill, kill, kill)
(Kill or be killed)
Cornered, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolved
And demons have materialised in me
We can't fight them, they're taking control
And we've tried, oh we've tried
So hard to be good
But the world rewards us when we're bad
Fate
It's driving me insane
Is forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
(Kill or be killed)
They've driven
A stake right through my heart
I'm growing so cold and detached
And I've tried, oh I've tried
So hard to spread love
But she prefers it when I assert control
Fate
Has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased
Either kill or be killed
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be killed)
Either kill or be killed
Fate
It's driving me insane
Is forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill, kill, kill, kill)
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be)
(Kill or be)
