Addition Lyrics
3.And he knew what he needed to keep us alive,
No time for cowardice, kill and survive
Like a killer kid with a switchblade knife,
Nasty world, he´ll take your life.
4.The silens is over, they attack again,
Killing and hatred drive me insane.
Reports come in of a heavy attack,
Message is seen, we´re moving back.(To Chorus)
5.Repeat 1st Verse
6.Repeat 3st Verse
