One of Us Must Die by Wayward Dawn Lyrics

Target approaching
Drops of sweat is rolling
You line up your sights
Measure the trajectory
Eye locked on eye
Fingers twitching weary
Blood will soil the earth and shame will soil the soul

One of us must die
Only the least humane survives
Crosshairs never tell a lie
So suffocate the child inside
Standing at the gates
Who will be the casualty?
Standing face to face with your mortality

A liquid holocaust is lighting up the blackened sky
The smell of putrid burning flesh festering in your mind
Losing a piece of yourself with each bullet hitting the ground
Killing so many, somewhere along the way you lost the count
And when the hero returns to a broken family
Neglected by both country and kin
Down your throat
Drown the nightmares of the calamity
At least you’ll get a hero’s funeral
When you lose the battle within
Alone you stand and alone you’ll fall
The promise of silence will always be kept
Forgotten by all, but the ones whose blood you spilled
Live or die
You’re still stuck in hell


One of us must die
Only the least humane survives
Crosshairs never tell a lie
So suffocate the child inside
Standing at the gates
Who will be the casualty?
Standing face to face with your mortality

One must die
One must die
One must die
One must die
One must die
One must die
One must die
One must die
