Taking the Life Songtext
von Tripod

Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature

Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature

As long as I live
I′ll never forget
The look in his eyes
As we stomped on his face

Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature

Who's the real monster here?!

Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature


With every limb I chopped off
I lost a piece of myself
I smashed him mercilessly
And now I see
That the smashee was me

(Clawing at me!)
For mercy
(Looking right in the eyes!)
As he died
(Imagery!)
I′ll always carry with me
(How could he be)
So heartless?!
(He's been set free)
Now what about me?

(Gatesy bursts into tears)

Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature

(Gatesy: I feel so emotional!)

Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature


Ooh, taking the life
Taking the life
Of a fellow living creature
