Kerry King - Tension Lyrics

As the pendulum swings
Silently while you scream
There you lie my plaything
Chemistry is everything

Here I fight with my thoughts
In this rage my brain rots
On the edge I still cling
Sanity is everything

Now I drown in your flaws
Ten times past the last straw
Constantly inspiring
Violence is everything

Fueling our dissention
Magnify the tension
Hatred pulses through me
Enemies are necessary

As you feel the time crawl
Mercy has no place at all
Elegant and bleeding
Decadence is everything

Slave to my obsession
Conflict and aggression
Conscience has no meaning
Misery is temporary

Now as I become death
Grasping at your final breath
Fighting as it disappears
Victory is everything

Though I can't forget you
Grief is not my virtue
I'll dream of your screaming
Memories are everything"
