"Shrapnel" lyrics - KERRY KING

KERRY KING
"Shrapnel"

Down the road, I'm told
Certain death is sold
We all must pay the price
I can't
Unsee
The day
My friends died

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Limitless human flesh
Scattered for all to see
Thrown-away life decays
Stench surrounding me
Climb the walls, purely false
Hatred uncontrolled
Irrelevant sentiment
For all that won't go home

[Chorus:]
I guarantee
On death, I feed
And my weapons don't care
Who they kill
Nothing is won
Until the killing's done
And my blade won't care
Whose blood is spilled

Silently, I grieve
In vengeance, I believe
Memories won't suffice
Never
Forget
The day
They all died

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I'm insane, dealing pain
Taking every soul
Human shield starts to feel
Swinging of control
Suffocate, strangulate
Tightening of the wire
Raining death, final breath
Adrenaline on fire

[Chorus:]
I guarantee
On death, I feed
And my weapons don't care
Who they kill
Nothing is won
Until the killing's done
And my blade won't care
Whose blood is spilled

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Pre-Chorus 3:]
King of war, I want more
Addicted to the strife
Politicized, criticized
Killing is my life
Renegade death parade
Blood will quench the dirt
Back on the road that I was told
Forever feed the earth

[Chorus:]
I guarantee
On death, I feed
And my weapons don't care
Who they kill
Nothing is won
Until the killing's done
And my blade won't care
Whose blood is spilled
