## Transcript

🎵 Kill for gain or shoot to main
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Black and white still burns inside this shell of bloody treason
It's been done for a fellow's love, for the love of living death
Two minutes to midnight
The hands that break our doom
Two minutes to midnight
It's a game of life OH!
