0:44A sense of peace was falling
0:45On the universal night
0:46And it gave me pause
0:47To reason why I live
0:50To never cease the calling
0:51Of a consequential right
0:53And it gave me cause and reason
0:54Why they give
0:56The first thing I remember
0:58Was the shadow across my heart
0:59And they matched the beauty
1:00Hidden in their soul
1:03The next was across the universe
1:04As I came apart
1:06And the sum of the parts
1:07Became whole
1:11Stalking and hunting
1:12Profession in blood
1:14Working the night to a throne
1:17Calking an outline experience must
1:20Invisible never alone
1:23I can take you anywhere
1:26Take all that you give
1:29I can free you from despair
1:32Killing just to live
1:39Killing for a living
1:40Living just to kill
1:47I looked across the answers
1:48Though questions don't exist
1:50And found that it was I I never alone
1:53We cut away the cancer
1:54And continued to resist
1:56But the outcome of the night
1:57Remained unknown
1:59The next thing I remember
2:01Were the years across my face
2:02And they matched only
2:03The beauty of scars
2:05The next was across the universe
2:07Into time and space
2:09And to know together
2:10We have to go too far
2:14Bleeding a nation casualty time
2:17Breaking the back of the core
2:20Promised salvation a casual crime
2:23Feeding and f**king the whore
2:26Make my living on borrowed time
2:29Make your clock stand still
2:32Keep my hands round what is mine
2:34Living just to kill
2:39Kill to live live to kill
2:45Kill to live live to kill
3:47Come on
3:58Come on now a give little kindness
4:00Give worst of best
4:03Come on now
4:03Shake a little madness
4:05Put the dead to rest
4:07I can give you reasons
4:10Two five to the bone
4:12They can give you
4:13All you ever wanted
4:14When you're far away from home
4:17Come on now give a little kindness
4:20Give worst of best
4:22Come on now and
4:23Shake a little madness
4:25Put the dead to rest
4:53So as the plot will thicken
4:55And time is not a friend
4:56The blessing comes but one time in life
4:59Across the crowded universe
5:01That hastens to an end
5:02Through memories
5:03Of one time in a night
5:06And what will I remember
5:07Through the by and by
5:09To have and hold and
5:10Turn about the chill
5:12This was not the pause to die
5:15But to live to kill
5:20Stalking and hunting
5:21Profession in blood
5:23Working the night to a throne
5:26Calking an outline experience must
5:29Invisible never alone
5:32I can take you anywhere
5:35Killing just to live
5:38I can free what fights and tears
5:41Living just to kill
5:45I can take you anywhere
5:48Killing just to live
5:52I can free what fights and tears
5:55Living just to kill
