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, heґll 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, weґre moving back.(To Chorus)

5.Repeat 1st Verse
