Let Us Prey Lyrics by Overkill

Necroshine

1999

[Verse 1]
It took three damn days
For the mission man
Heard he's comin'
Sraight from hell
Like a fast-track bleedin'
And siren screamin'
If you don't listen
You could never tell

[Pre-Chorus]
Three days dead and risin'
Where you goin' now?
I wish you well
Three days dead and risin'
With a half head full o' dreams
I could never sell

[Chorus 1]
Oh, let us prey
Oh, let us prey

[Chorus 2]
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'
Three days gone
Hear the mission man say
"Time to get down to business
Let us prey"

[Verse 2]
He walked in like the duke
He was the mission man
He had death leakin'
From his eyes
He seemed much bigger
With his finger on the trigger
Said, "It took me
Three days to rise"

[Pre-Chorus]
"Three days dead and risin'
I think these here are yours
I couldn't tell
Three days dead and risin'"
Then he handed on back the dreams
That he couldn't sell

[Chorus 1]
Oh, let us prey
Oh, let us prey

[Chorus 2]
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'
Three days gone
Hear the mission man say
"Time to get down to business
Let us prey"

[Bridge 1]
Lord, I got a bleeder
It's a fast-track feeder
And it nailed me down tight
For the rest o' my life
Was a double damn shot
O' what I need when I want it
And it givin' me redemption
Through the darkest of night

[Bridge 2]
Lord, I lost the lightnin'
It was so damn frightenin'
And it pulled me up close
Like I was losin' my life
Was a double damn shot
Knocked me down, yeah, I got it
And it givin' me some light
Through the rest o' my life

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
"Three days dead and risin'
I think these here are yours
I couldn't tell
Three days dead and risin'"
Then he handed on back the dreams
That would never sell

[Chorus 1]
Oh, let us prey
Oh, let us prey

[Chorus 2]
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'

[Post-Chorus]
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)

[Outro]
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
