lyrics

i was born to kill
i was made to slay
unafraid to spill
blood on the land
when you command
i will

i am locked to fate
locked to the lives i take
i will never be done
i will always be hungry

each final breath i breathe
burns a bright fire inside of me
it keeps me alive
it keeps me alive

i was born to kill
i was made to slay
unafraid to feel
blood on my hands
when you command
i will

i am locked to joy
locked to the lives i destroy
i will never be dry
i will never be satisfied

each final breath i breathe
burns a bright fire inside of me
it keeps me alive
it keeps me alive

til the day in the dirt i lie
til my ashes scatter in the sea
i will not be denied my destiny

i was born to kill
i was made to slay
unafraid to spill
blood on the land
when you command
i will

born to kill
when you command
i will

Because it has a sheep and fire on the cover, and also it's just really perfect. It's the good kind of reductive. This album never makes me cry, and it's a great soundtrack for dancing around and doing dishes and stuff Badassmotherhugger (MsAmandica)
