Lyrics

[00:01.12] Queensryche - The Killer
[00:08.48]
[00:23.74] Mother hides her face.
[00:28.23] She drops to her knees,
[00:31.07] her sacrifice complete.
[00:34.37] The last of her line.
[00:36.69] What's left of her name?
[00:39.23] Nothing will ever be the same.
[00:43.39] I'm not sorry for what I had to do.
[00:48.88] It must be done.
[00:51.91] You know g'd rewards the winner.
[00:55.16]
[00:55.81] Now I'm on my knees again,
[00:58.61] give me strength to win.
[01:01.11] If I stop to listen,
[01:03.78] I hear "Voices" in the wind.
[01:08.58] "Shoot him!" They say,
[01:11.17] Who will be the killer?
[01:13.71] Who will be the winner?
[01:16.08] "Shoot him!"
[01:21.34] Who will be the killer?
[01:24.35] Can't give in!
[01:26.86] You know you can't begin to
[01:30.05] imagine where I've been,
[01:33.03] until you've walked a while in my shoes.
[01:38.45] Surrounded and outnumbered.
[01:40.96] Children wearing bombs?
[01:43.76] I'm crying.
[01:47.20]
[01:48.44] Oh, now I can't stop to sympathize.
[01:54.56] Would you trade your eyes for mine?
[01:59.00] I'll give you more time to answer.
[02:01.67] I'll give you some time to rethink.
[02:04.49] but there's never time when
[02:05.70] the bullets are flying.
[02:07.07] You duck your head and hit the ground!
[02:09.25] "Shoot him"! Yeah!
[02:15.05] Who will be the killer?
[02:17.64] Who will be the winner?
[02:19.94] "Shoot him!" Yeah,
[03:54.91]
[03:57.60][02:57.57][02:25.90] I've got to be the killer!
[03:59.99][02:28.23] I've got to LIVE!
[04:02.57][02:30.65] They say hit the ground hard
[04:04.75][02:32.65] when you feel it.
[04:06.40][02:34.39] Open your eyes so you can see it.
[04:09.10][02:37.10] Don't try to think just believe it.
[04:11.69][02:39.73] Then you'll know you're not dreaming!
[04:14.10][02:44.57] "Shoot him!" Yeah,
[04:16.46][02:47.28] Who will be the killer?
[04:53.07]
