Lyrics

Kill Or Be Killed

[Verse 1]

Evil's coming, fight the fire

Push has come to shove

Let's all pray we need the help from death from up above

We must fight, we won't surrender

The king will never change

Hold the line, there's no contender

The outcome's prearranged

[Chorus]

It's kill or be killed

Live or let die

Kill or be killed

Though you don't know why

It's kill or be killed

Rock or let roll

Kill or be killed

Burn or save your soul

[Verse 2]

Death is certain, there's no question

Life's not quite you see

Pick your path and make decisions for eternity

Choose your weapons, this war started long before you came

Fight the good fight, let's be sure they'll never rise again

[Chorus]

It's kill or be killed

Live or let die

Kill or be killed

Though you don't know why

It's kill or be killed

Rock or let roll

Kill or be killed

Burn or save your soul

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Don't sleep in the fire

Have faith and desire

Then fight for your life and be free

[Chorus]

It's kill or be killed

Live or let die

Kill or be killed

Though you don't know why

It's kill or be killed

Rock or let roll

Kill or be killed

Burn or save your soul

It's kill or be killed

Live or let die

Kill or be killed

Though you don't know why

It's kill or be killed

Rock or let roll

Kill or be killed

Burn or save your soul
