A Pound of Flesh Lyrics by Overkill

ReliXIV

2005

[Verse 1]
Bloodshot on the panicked eye
Too gone for resolution
Too late for the gallant try
Or to find his own solution
Pray "save me" or to buy the plan
Vengeance is my name
Too deep for a drowning man
Too deep to call him sane
[Pre-Chorus]
In the farthest place from you
Where blood drips through your hands
The action deafens every word
That runs your master plan
[Chorus]
Higher, go higher
Know you've paid for the best
Higher, go higher
Can't pay in cash
Take a pound of your flesh
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Turned out where you're left to die
Turned into this destruction
Set free where you only fly
To a promised resurrection
Pray "save me" or to find a way
Bathing in my blame
Tapped out, but he has to pay
Vengeance is my name
[Pre-Chorus]
In the closest place to you
Where water fills your hands
Your thirst is gone with every taste
That fuels your master plan
[Chorus]
Higher, go higher
Know you've paid for the best
Higher, go higher
Pay with your love
Or a pound of your flesh
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Don't you know you're fucking with the best?
All the competition laid to rest
Humble as you crawl out of your mess
One by one, I count my pounds of... flesh
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
In the darkest place from you
Where blood drips through your hands
The action deafens every word
That runs your master plan
[Chorus]
Higher, go higher
Know you've paid for the best
Higher, go higher
Pay with your love
Or a pound of your flesh
