Overkill - Overkill III (Under The Influence) Lyrics






Shall I wake or shall I sleep
With dreams so warm, so soft, so deep
A never ending tale enhanced
A never ending thought
Entranced
Thoughts entranced

Take from me what you need
Take my heart, my soul, my seed
A lasting presence inside my mind
At last a presence, a contract signed

Turned my back when I first saw you
Turned to stone when I ignored you
Then something greater than my will
Turned me round to Overkill

From the shadows called my name
From the cold into the flame
The wings around me kept me warm
Through hollow eyes I was reborn

All around me once despised
Could see the world now through his eyes
A people lead by blind ambition
Signed on for life into submission

Hear me
I hear your call
Obey
I'd give it all
If all my dreams come to life
Hear me
I hear your call
Obey
I'd give it all
If all my fears come to light

Shall I wake or shall I dream?
Shall I become just what it seems
A never ending tale fulfilled
A never ending Overkill

To see to taste, to touch the world
In jaded glory danced and whirled
To see it happen as was told
As new beginnings now unfold
Light the sky, the glow above
See the bat, eat the dove
Another stage, completed mission
Signed on for life into submission

  1. 9.... i....

    WHAT ELSE DOES THIS SOUND LIKE? nothing,exactly Love this album

  2. K.... D....

    Overkill's one bests albums but this song is almost worstest in album, not so good as Overkill and Overkill II (nightmares continue).

    K.... D....

    Yes this is a weak song and I don't know understand why someone said this one of the best thrash songs in existence

  3. L.... C....

    THE KILL RULE \,,,/

  4. T.... W....

    Heavy Metal Bass in its full glory

  5. L.... C....

    BLITZ FOR PRESIDENT// 2020***

  6. K.... D....

    Great song, i had this cd once much eariler but some reason i give it away?

    K.... D....

    WHY KING?TO ABIGAIL????

    K.... D....

    KING DID YOU GIVE IT TO THE PUPPET MASTER?

    K.... D....

    Mistake!!

  7. W.... ....

    Over Kill kicks ass

  8. M.... M....

    Here. We. Go

  9. R.... H....

    Tasty bass tone.

  10. V.... N....

    Pretty good album but The years of decay - I hear black and Feel the fire albums really kick ass

    V.... N....

    The years of decay and horrorscope

  11. m.... 4....

    old school thrash!!!!fuck yeah,the Best🤘🤘🤘🤘

  12. D.... B....

    Released in 88 on this date

  13. K.... D....

    Great song but in feel the fire is better overkill, a lot, it's my all times favorite!

  14. Z.... ....

    oh they ripped off the intro riff from 'shadow of love' by the Damned

    Z.... ....

    Intro 'riff'? RIFF? That short little cycle of a few notes that plays for mere seconds? The two songs are absolutely nothing alike in every other aspect except that tiny little intro that clearly isn't a 'riff'...

  15. E.... C....

    Love this song! Who doesn't?

  16. A.... G....

    2:49 sounds like death angel - voracious souls

  17. E.... K....

  22. C.... ....

    Under The Influence is definitely the best of the five part Overkill series with The Nightmare Continues coming in a close second..

    C.... ....

    Celio19891 nightmare continues is better than this and even that better is first! But this album is bests.

  23. H.... W....

    "I'd give it all if all my dreams come to life !"

    H.... W....

    Motivating!

  24. L.... K....

    One of the best thrash songs in existence

    L.... K....

    For me is the best álbum of thrash with Bonded By Blood and By Inheritqnce xd

  25. �.... �....

    Действительно классная песня. Умели же раньше песни делать, не то что сейчас, хрень одна. Это я про большинство современных групп.

    pop stars die off and get forgotten. unfortunately for them, metals never forgotten

    J.... ....

    Well that's simply not true.

  34. T.... ....

    This album was and is still so badass, especially for that time in the late 80's, glad to have grown up having great music and bands around to go see live!!

  35. E.... E....

    This album changed my life as an 11/12 year old....Greatest Thrash album ever IMO......

    E.... E....

    Smoking more crack than usual?

    E.... E....

    Album is one bests albums but this didn't change my life nothing ways, but i got into Overkill with feel the fire album, i keep that best album ever and fuck you single is very cool, very rarely worksfull cover songs!

  36. A.... P....

    @MusicJamin330 You should've thrown yourself in the trash after it.

    A.... P....

    Alex Paul why thrash spelling almost always wrong? it's thrash not trash.

  37. d.... ....

    :30 - :53 epic badassery

  38. M.... ....

    @rollow23 No problem! It was mine too.

  39. r.... ....

    thank you very much for the upload. my first overkill album.

    r.... ....

    rollow23 mine was debut in old school!

    r.... ....

    Well worth it ,well done ......... classic!

  40. M.... ....

    @NotJustiBeiber Who cares about that queer? He's a shit stain in the music world as far as I'm concerned. He'll die off and be forgotten 5 years from now like all the other pop artists have in the past and so will the others that are popular now along with him. So The Baby video having a Gazillion views doesn't bother me one bit and neither should it bother anyone else.

  41. B.... J....

    the Baby video stole all of overkill's views D:

  42. m.... ....

    overkill never got alot of publicity in their time. I had never really given them a chance untill sometime in the 2000's. being around since the birth of metal this suprises me to never listened to them till then but..... their nothing short of absolutely bad ass. explaining the low views, not a whole lot of people know about these guys or at the very least give them credit for the killer metal they made.

  43. M.... ....

    @Fonzieallenblue You should have thrown her in the Trash!

  44. G.... A....

    I got this album when I was 13 my mom thru it in the trash I was like what the hell?

  45. B.... ....

    @redd5674 I hear that. everytime i read a new lyric by overkill i'm always amazed. i really hope the metalheads out there don't just listen but embrace the music.

  46. N.... R....

    This song is a master piece.

    N.... R....

    Chris redd not quite but album is bests albums not best. Debut's overkill is a lot better than this but this is great song too!

    N.... R....

    Agreed!

  47. M.... ....

    @ZimTheHomicidalAlien exactly the reasons why I uploaded it haha Overkill is amazing and needs more recognition, they are one of the first bands to bring it to the masses and paved the way to many other artists just like their peers

  48. M.... ....

    @ZimTheHomicidalAlien WMG made it to where they blocked my video completely and so I didn't find out until a year later how to get it back so thats why it only has that many views, other than that, the views have gona up rapidly actually since I diagnosed the problem haha

  49. Z.... ....

    How does this have only 322 views? Overkill are fucking legends! \m/
