Enemy Within Lyrics by D.R.I.

Thrash Zone

1989

[Verse 1]
Mommy, Daddy, help me please
I beg of you, I'm on my knees
Save me from this life I lead
The pain, the blood, the agony
I want to stop, somehow I can't
The time draws near, I start to pant
Once again I put it off
I swallow hard and then I cough

[Chorus]
Enemy within in my head
I often wish that I was dead
No self control of my own mind
Got to stop, there's no more time

[Verse 2]
I've got to try, I must release
Rid my soul from this beast
It's my last chance, I must prevail
Cast out the enemy, I mustn't fail

[Chorus]
Enemy within in my head
I often wish that I was dead
No self control of my own mind
Got to stop, there's no more time
Enemy, enemy

[Chorus]
Enemy within in my head
I often wish that I was dead
No self control of my own mind
Got to stop, there's no more time
