Half Past Dead
Overkill · Other Songs - Overkill
No wanting the can't have
Untasted
Seems everything I have
Yeah ready
Heard everything you said
I'm steady
Even though it's half past dead
Welcome to the unforgiving
Franernity of pain where
The lines remains uncrossed
Are entertained
Greetings from the other side
Where all has gone array here
But in all honesty takes me away
There
See your new Jerusalem
In saturated red
Commencement of the requiem
Begins at half past dead
Half past dead
Welcome to the humiliating
Theater insane where
Our daily theme
Is always inhumane here
Rebuild your shattered castles
From ashes to the sky
Pick-up your fallen icons
Where they lie
There
See your new Jerusalem
In saturated red
Commencement of the requiem
Begins at half past dead
Half past dead
All eyes front and looking toward the sky
Better then I do
One step up if you're not afraid to die
Better then you do
Violent movement spawns brutality
Better then I do
Charging out into infinity
Better then you do
Peace comes to the war inside my head
Better then I do
Peace comes late, the clock strikes
Half past dead
