The Surgeon Lyrics by Overkill

Scorched

0

[Verse 1]
Bleeding for the martyr
We were bleeding for the Pope
We were bleeding for the victim
We were bleeding for the dope
We were bleeding for the felon
As he tried to catch his breath
Then the motherfucker cries out:
"Bleed till death"

[Verse 2]
There was blood about the window
There was blood about the floor
There was blood about the shakin' hand
The hand that locked the door
We were bleeding for the children
As they tried to catch their breath
Then the motherfucker cries out:
"Bleed till death"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't break my concentration
Don't break my back in two
One steady hand fixation
One cut bleed all over you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't break my concentration
Don't break my back in two

[Chorus]
I am the surgeon
I am the face of fear
I cut your dreams away
And long to hold you near
I am the surgeon
I never shed a tear
I am the surgeon
And I long, I long, long to hold you near

[Verse 3]
We were killing for the people
We were killing for the state
We were killing just for killing
And we did it out of hate
We were killing for the innocent
The guilty catch their breath
Then the motherfucker cries out:
"Kill till death"

[Verse 4]
There was bodies in the garden
There were bodies on the street
There was carnage, beg ya pardon
And a body at my feet
We were killing for the innocent
The guilty catch their breath
Then the motherfucker cries out:
"Kill till death"

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't break my concentration
Don't break my back in two
One steady hand fixation
One cut bleed all over you

[Chorus]
I am the surgeon
I am the face of fear
I cut your dreams away
And long to hold you near
I am the surgeon
I never shed a tear
I am the surgeon
And I long, I long, long to hold you near

[Interlude]

[Bridge 1]
Bleed out in the morning (Bleed out)
In the morning air (Bleed out)
Bleed out in the afternoon
In the evening, I don't care (Bleed out)
The world stops on its axis (Bleed out)
In the face of fear (Bleed out)
And I can't feel your heartbeat now
When I hold you near (Bleed out)

[Bridge 2]
Bleed out (Bleed out)
In the morning air (Bleed out)
Bleed out (Bleed out)
In the evening, I don't care (Bleed out)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I am the surgeon
I am the face of fear
I cut your dreams away
And long to hold you near
I am the surgeon
I never shed a tear
I am the surgeon
And I long, I long, long to hold you near
