Lyrics

In For the Kill

Cut me off and say goodbye
I'm ready to be sacrificed
Sell my loved ones I wish them well
And I'm sorry
And oh swell
See I'm holding on desperately
But you know they always will
Going in for the kill
Well I know, I'm just a compromise
But still, there's life in my eyes
Stay still and surrender to the fee,
Well pain and madness
See I'm holding on desperately
But you know they always will
Going in for the kill
Ohhh, Aoooh, Aoooh, Aooh oh yeah
Please don't cry
Turn around and say goodbye
I'll be back someday
And when I do
I'll promise you
I won't make the same mistakes
See I'm holding on desperately
But you know they always will
Going in for the kill
Why can't you see
I'm holding on desperately
But you know they always will
Going in for the kill
