Lyrics

Need

[Verse 1]

Open me with your kiss of steel

End my pain, set me free

[Chorus]

For we are enslaved

Forever enslaved

[Verse 2]

Open me with your kiss of steel

End my pain, set me free

Live only to die some more

Need killing yourself to live

[Chorus]

For we are enslaved

Forever enslaved

[Bridge]

Lay your fears to rest

Fears to rest

Let your dreams awake

Dreams awake

[Chorus]

For we are enslaved

Forever enslaved

[Outro]

Lay your hate to rest

Open me
