Lyrics

In for the Kill

[Verse 1]

Thunder shattered the dawn

Raging with fury, the king has come

The power of terror will reign

There is no mercy in pleading

[Chorus]

In for the kill, no quarter be shown

Live for the thrill of battle alone

Blessed by the will to die for the throne

In for the kill

In for the kill

[Verse 2]

Freedom is taken by storm

Blood on his hands is still running warm

The power of terror will reign

There is no mercy in pleading

[Chorus]

In for the kill, no quarter be shown

Live for the thrill of battle alone

Blessed by the will to die for the throne

In for the kill

For the kill

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

In for the kill, no quarter be shown

Live for the thrill of battle alone

Blessed by the will to die for the throne

In for the kill

In for the kill

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Thunder shattered the dawn

Raging with fury, the king has come

Death and destruction riding the storm

Blood on his hands still running warm

In for the kill

The king has come
