Lyrics
How could I fool you I rest and assure you Take it off from here and put you on the line, yeah Your back to the pistol and iron bullets whistle Landscape’s open and the world is mine, it’s still mine

OD’d on life, life itself (OD’d on life itself, OD’d on life itself the power of powers and once luminous spell) OD’d on life, life itself (OD’d on life itself, OD’d on life itself crumpled like grave cloths and hipped to the help and you’ve…) OD’d on life itself

Writings appear on the wall The curtains part and landscape fall There the writings done in blood Yeah, like a mummy’s inscription and a bat-wing tongue

Well then the mouth of the cave will open up wide Wide as the world that’s mine, it’s mine, it’s Still mine

So don’t you fear the trade in life Life loves force but force love life, yeah This wedding by heaven was made up in hell With the victim as bride and life, life itself

OD’d on life, life itself (OD’d on life itself, OD’d on life itself the power of powers and once luminous spell) OD’d on life, life itself (OD’d on life itself, OD’d on life itself crumpled like grave cloths and hipped to the help and you’ve...)

OD’d on life, you OD’d on life itself, yeah OD’d on life, you OD’d on life itself OD’d on life, life itself OD’d on life, life itself OD’d on life, life itself OD’d on life, life itself
