Hard To Kill

All alone Why do I need friends when I've got Plenty of enemies? I have a way Of finding out their sins and secrets Bringing them to their knees (Ah) the world owes me a debt (Ah) and now I've come to collect (Ah) so, don't get in my way I came up from nothing The streets were my playground I belong to the city And was raised on the stakes I claimed So I let the rumors Turn me into a legend 'Cause I'm only human But a good myth is hard to kill (A good myth is hard to kill) Maybe I'm Too obsessed with retribution Somebody has to pay By the time You figure out the rules I broke I've already won the game (Ah) the world owes me a debt (Ah) and now I've come to collect (Ah) so don't get in my way I came up from nothing The streets were my playground I belong to the city And was raised on the stakes I claimed So I let the rumors Turn me into a legend 'Cause I'm only human But a good myth is hard to kill Hard to kill A good myth is hard to kill Hard to kill A good myth is hard to kill The odds are stacked against me I keep my cards close to my chest Just let 'em see my worst and They'll never judge me for my best (Ah) the world owes me a debt (Ah) and now I've come to collect (Ah) so don't get in my way I came up from nothin The streets were my playground I belong to the city And was raised on the stakes I claimed So I let the rumors Turn me into a legend 'Cause I'm only human But a good myth is hard to kill

Consider your position, position your defense Why don't you let me ask you is it mere coincidence Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain Listen to the wind, a silent scream Tearing at your broken heart Like a forgotten dream A time for peace, a time for war Wondering what we've been put here for A time for giving, a time to take A time for love and a time for hate A time to beg and a time to steal So you gamble on that spinning wheel Of all these things I've had my feel Lord, I need some time to kill Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got And you think you've got the given right to take another shot I'll take away your money, all you've got is coloured beads Find a piece of land where'd you sow your dirty seeds Listen to the wind, a silent scream Tearing at your broken heart Like a forgotten dream There's a time for passion, a time for pain A time to learn that we're all the same A time to remember, a time to forgive Wondering how we're going to pay our debts A time for thunder, a time for rain Waiting for the seasons to change Of all these things I've had my feel Lord, I need some time to kill A time for peace, a time for war Wondering what we've been put here for A time for giving, a time to take A time for love and a time for hate A time to beg, a time to steal So you gamble on that spinning wheel Of all these things I've had my feel Lord, I need some time Oh, there's a time for passion, a time for pain A time to learn that we're all the same A time to remember, a time to forgive Wondering how we're going to pay our debts A time for thunder, a time for rain Waiting for the seasons to change Of all these things I've had my feel Lord, I need some time I need, I need some time Some time Some time Some time to kill

Out of the haze They tell us "This is who you should be" (All hope is lost, where do we stand) We put our faces on Just like a mask While they're trying To make a fool out of me Make a fool out of me Make a fool out of me Just like a mask Just like a mask Just like a mask Just like a mask

You're always casting your shadow on me But now I cast mine on you Your best chances are left with nothing Turning my back on you Now that you're all alone There's no where left to go Now that you're all alone There's no place left to go I want you to see me Living the life that you'll never have I want you to see me Laugh at the emptiness in your hand You'll never fall asleep Knowing I'm in your dreams I want you to see me Laughing now You never looked in to who I could be You only knew me for who I was Remember I told you where I'm going I'll explain it now Now that you're all alone There's no where left to go Now that you're all alone There's no where left to go I want you to see me Living the life that you'll never have I want you to see me Laugh at the emptiness in your hand You'll never fall asleep Knowing I'm in your dreams I want you to see me Laughing now Now that you're all alone There's no where left to go Now that you're all alone There's no where left to go I want you to see me Living the life that you'll never have I want you to see me Laugh at the emptiness in your hand You'll never fall asleep Knowing I'm in your dreams I want you to see me Laughing now See me laughing now See me laughing now

Meeting you with a view to a kill Face to face in secret places feel the chill Nightfall covers me but you know the plans I'm making Still over sea could it be the whole earth opening wide A sacred why a mystery gaping inside The weekends why until we Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance in the the fire To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance in to the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire Choice for you is the view to a kill Between the shades assassination standing still First crystal tears fall of snowflakes on your body First time in years to drench your skin with lovers rosy stain A chance to find the phoenix for the flame A chance to die but can we Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire When all we see is the view to a kill

Man thinks 'cause he rules the Earth, he can do with it as he please And if things don't change soon, he will Oh, man has invented his doom First step was touching the moon Now, there's a woman on my block She just sit there as the night grows still She say who, gonna take away his license to kill? Now, they take him, and they teach him, and they groom him for life And they set him, on a path where he's bound to get ill Then they bury him with stars Sell his body like they do used cars Now, there's a woman on my block She just sit there facin' the hill She say who gonna take away his license to kill? Now he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill And all he believes are his eyes And his eyes, they just tell him lies But there's a woman on my block Sitting there in a cold chill She say who gonna take away his license to kill? Even noisemaker, spirit maker Heartbreaker, backbreaker Leave no stone unturned May be an actor in a plot That might be all that you got 'Til your error you clearly learn Now he worships at an altar, of a stagnant pool And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled Oh, man is opposed to fair play He wants it all and he wants it his way Now, there's a woman on my block She just sit there as the night grows still She say who wanna take away his license to kill?
