The title of this song “the ripper” is a word to describe any mass murderers who dispatch of their victims in a particularly gruesome way (eg jack the ripper) although in recent times this word is used by media to describe any mass murderer.
[Verse 1]
Time kills, go ask Jesus
I'm done
Makes no difference
Stare straight
Stare at the sun
I'm done
Makes no difference
[Chorus]
Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today?
Time takes us
Time takes us all
Will I die right now?
I'm only seconds away
Time takes us
[Verse 2]
Move on
Gone forever
I'm done
Makes no difference
Poison
Time kills slowly
You're done
Makes no difference
[Chorus]
Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today?
Time takes us
Time takes us all
Will I die right now?
It could be seconds away
Time takes us
[Bridge]
Time will now be
Time will now be
Time will now be (Time will now be)
The chopping block
Oh, leave my head
Time will now be
The chopping block
So leave my head
Leave my head
Leave my head
Head!
[Verse 3]
Time kills
Makes no difference
I'm done
Makes no difference
(Makes no difference)
[Chorus]
Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today?
Time takes us
Time takes us all
Will I die right now?
It could be seconds away
Time takes us
[Outro]
(Down! Down!)
Time takes us all!
