The Will to Death Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And they're thought to be lies, but we saw them, saw them
We looked right in their eyes, right at them, at them
Pinnin' space to the world, we slaughtered, slaughtered
Not a sound to be heard, we're awful, awful

[Chorus 1]
And have you seen how they run out of gas?
They beat the pain, they sing in the rain
Endless and formless, they fly to the end
And back to the beginning again


[Verse 2]
Have you put them aside, your crazy thoughts and dreams
No, they're a part of me, and they all mean one thing
The will to death is what keeps me alive, it's one step away, step away
Limitations are set, only then can we go all the way, all the way

[Chorus 2]
And have you seen how the cars when they pass?
They come your way, then they're speeding away
Coming to you and then going away
But for them nothing's changed, for them nothing's changed

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, mmm
[Guitar Solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
