From their second album, Leprosy, Pull the Plug is Death’s piece de resistance. Delivering tight, rapid white hot hate, it launched the genre of tech-metal.
[Verse 1]
Memory is all that's left behind
As I lay and wait to die
Little do they know
That I hear their choice of life
[Pre-Chorus]
End it now, it is the only way
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope, why don't you
[Chorus]
Pull the plug
Let me pass away
Pull the plug
Don't want to live this way
[Bridge]
Once I had full control of my life
I now behold a machine decides my fate
End it now it's all too late
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
What has now been days, it seems like years
To stay like this is what I fear
Life ends so fast, so take your chance
And make it last
[Pre-Chorus]
End it now, it is the only way
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope, why don't you
[Chorus]
Pull the plug
Let me pass away
Pull the plug
Don't want to live this way
