The Killer - Queensrÿche

Mother hides her face

She drops to her knees

(Her sacrifice complete)

The last of her line

What’s left of her name?

Nothing will ever be the same

I’m not sorry for what I have to do It must be done

You know God rewards the winner

Now I’m on my knees again

Give me strength to win

If I stop to listen

I hear voices in the wind

«Shoot him,"they say

Who will be the killer?

Who will be the winner?

«Shoot him now!»

Who will be the killer?

You know you can’t begin to imagine where I’ve been

Until you’ve walked a while in my shoes

Surrounded and outnumbered

Children wearing bombs?

I’m crying

Oh, now I can’t stop to sympathize

Would you trade your eyes for mine?

I’ll give you more time to answer

I’ll give you some time to rethink

But there’s never time when the bullets are flying

You duck your head and hit the ground

«Shoot him now"Yeah

Who will be the killer?

Who will be the winner?

«Shoot him now!"Yeah

I’ve got to be the killer

I’ve got to live

They say hit the ground hard when you feel it Open your eyes so you can see it Don’t try to think, just believe it Then you’ll know you’re not dreaming

«Shoot him now!"Yeah

Who will be the killer?

Am I dreaming?

I’ve got to be the killer

I’ve got to live

«Shoot him now"Yeah

Who will be the killer?

Who will be the winner?

«Shoot him now!"Yeah

I’ve got to be the killer

I’ve got to live

They say hit the ground hard when you feel it Open your eyes so you can see it Don’t try to think, just believe it Then you’ll know you’re not dreaming

Who will be the killer?

Who will be the winner?

I’ve got to be the killer

I’ve got to live
