Tyrant Lyrics by Overkill

The Killing Kind

1999

[Verse 1]
Behold, 'tis I, the commander
Whose grip controls you all
N-n-n-no surrender
I'll no compassion call

[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Capturer of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

[Verse 2]
Your very lives are held
Between my fingers
I snap them and you
Cower down in fear
You spineless things
Who belly down to slither
To the end of the world
You follow to be near

[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Capturer of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

[Bridge]
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled, we are bound
Freedom choked; in dread, we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I listen not to sympathy
While ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this, my hand

[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Capturer of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled, we are bound
Freedom choked; in dread, we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

[Verse 4]
My legions, faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish, each of you
Shall scream as you are sought

[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Capturer of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
