Lyrics for Song: End Of The Line
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Overkill
Take a look.
Take a good long look, and tell me what you see.
Through time passing.
Make a stand.
In your way,
Leaves way... too much for me.
On the edge,
Standing.
I was there when lightning struck,
I watched the idols fall.
I could see it coming,
Could read the writing on the wall!
Time. Time after time.
The end of the line.
We stand and watch it fade away...
Sign of the time's the end of the line.
It's your move.
So play... it right.
Sometimes you get just one chance.
Superstitious.
No!
If I had the time I still wouldn't dance.
I was there when lightning struck,
And yes I kept my head.
I could feel them coming,
Could feel the living dead!!! Dead! Dead!!!
Save your breath,
Don't pray for me, pray for yourself.
Through time, keeling.
It's the end.
It snuck up...
Quick and took you by surprise.
The waiting's over.
I was there when lightning struck,
I watched the idols crawl.
It was the second coming.
It was written on the wall!

End Of The Line
Overkill's "End Of The Line" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of thrash metal aggression and melodic heaviness. Released during a period where the group solidified its status as a cornerstone of the American death metal and thrash scenes, the track exemplifies their ability to fuse technical precision with raw, guttural vocals. The song's structure, characterized by rapid-fire drumming and distorted guitar riffs, captures the high-energy intensity that defined Overkill's catalog throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. As a staple of their live performances and a frequent addition to compilations, the recording serves as a testament to the band's enduring influence on the extreme metal genre, showcasing their mastery of speed and power without relying on conventional songwriting structures. |
