Song is about Serial Killers
lyrics
Killing Lesson
Voices in my brain, sending me insane, drive the pain like a runaway train. The thirst for blood, never to be sated. Our paths crossed by chance or ill fated. Do I kill for hatred? Your life and everything sacred, is it an obsession? You'll never get a confession.
Children scream with fear, Mothers weep their tears, shredded corpses broken necks. Everyone seems a bit nervous, with a serial killer at their service.
Watch the dark skies, another one dies, isn't life a bitch. Another is shot another is stabbed and I'm starting to get another itch. I must kill to get a thrill; I don't care who goes down. I come alive in the dark possibly in your town.
All wounds are gaped a young woman raped, signatures of my profession, no matter if I'm caught, I've already taught some impressionable minds a killing lesson. Now there's greed as I do my deed, this time it's unfortunate for two. Losses are hard but don't let down your guard or next I'll be coming for you.
Heroes cry with fear, widows sob their tears, shredded corpses broken necks. Everyone seems a bit nervous with a serial killer at their service.
An urge a kill an overwhelming thrill, the climax from a silenced shrill. Right from wrong society's song, too late now I just can't stop. Bullets fly blood rivers flow, meant to be I'll set you free. The spike of fear shoots up your spine, the chilling realization that your mine.
Victims shriek with fear, mourners shed their tears, shredded corpses broken necks. Everyone seems a bit nervous with a serial killer at their service.
Loved ones and people dear, killings last for years, shredded corpses broken necks. Everyone seems a bit nervous with a serial killer at their service.
