DESCRIPTION:
Sleeping with a time bomb
Rumble in my dreams
Fall apart at the seams
Innocence been gone long
Looking through the windows
Walking through the doors
I've been here before
Everything is different
I cant help this feeling
Everything's the same
I played the games
Cry out
I know the rules
CHORUS
Tell me what its gonna be
Reach out
Cry out
Is everything the same
Wake to an explosion Innocence corroding
Reach out
Tell me what you really see
Alone is all I feel
As coma steals my name
Reaching out to no one
Knowing no one's there
Afraid to be afraid
Of another nameless fear
I got all the reasons
Don't need no more
Locked behind the door
Blinded by illusion
Sleeping now forever
Innocence was never
Murdered in my dreams
Goin' to extremes
Kickin' down the doors
Bustin' through the windows
Standin' up to me
Never did before
And if I die before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep

Overkill is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1980 in New Jersey. The band has been recording since 1984, releasing 14 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a "covers" album. Overkill has gone through many line-up changes, with singer Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth and bassist D.D. Verni remaining the only consistent members. The band also has a notable mascot (named Charlie), a skeletal bat with a skull-like face, bony wings, and green eyes. It has appeared on most of their album covers.

Horrorscope is the fifth studio album by thrash metal band Overkill in 1991 on Atlantic Records. It was their 5th full-length album, and the first to feature the guitar duo of Merritt Gant and Rob Cannavino.

Overview

Following the loss of long-time guitarist and songwriter Bobby Gustafson, Overkill added two new guitarists to the band; Rob Cannavino, who had been Gustafson's guitar technician, and Merritt Gant; from the New Jersey thrash band Faith Or Fear.

Overkill recorded Horrorscope in 1991 with Terry Date as producer..

In 1992, during the Horrorscope tour, Sid Falck left the band. Admittedly never a big fan of thrash metal music, Sid said that he had initially wanted to push his drumming to the limit by playing the most complex type of music (of the era), and in time he decided to pursue other musical interests. He was replaced by former M.O.D. drummer Tim Mallare.
