The Answer Lyrics by Overkill

Fuck You and Then Some

1984

[Verse 1]
As I look into the cave
The fog doth fill my eyes
Inside lies the answer
A cause for my demise
Blinding light appearing
The Beast in silhouette
Roaring growl of thunder
The end not over yet

[Verse 2]
Terror fill my spirit
I swear I'll never rest
I feel my pulse to quicken
My heart beats through my chest
Standing there before me
A sight seen by few men
The sweat is pouring on me
His eyes remember when

[Refrain]
(One, two, three, four)

[Verse 3]
Liar, cheater
Help me make a stand
Hope, give me strength
To overcome the power they demand
Pain, disaster
The sting in persecution
Light the light, show me the way
Where lies a solution

[Verse 4]
Reach into the great beyond
The story tells of eight
Been born into a curse
Revelation 13:18
Father, help me
For faith is growing thin
Untie another scourge
Being born into a sin

[Post-Verse]
No, no, no

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Holy Father, help me
Take me into white
Break me of this spell
Which damns me to eternal night
Eternal fire, we are one
Happiness is none
But death becomes a devil...
And I'm the devil's son

[Instrumental Outro]
