Biography:
Overkill is an American thrash metal band formed in 1980 in New Jersey. The band has been active since 1984, releasing 16 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a "covers" album. Despite their first album being released in 1985, most of the songs appearing on their first two albums were written between 1981 and 1984, and as such, they are often hailed as one of the inventors of thrash metal.
The band also has a notable mascot (named Chaly), a skeletal bat with a skull-like face, bony wings, and green eyes.

Album: The Grinding Wheel
[Intro]
E A# A E A# A E
[Verse 1]
E
A bed of nails, cold dark deep refrigeration
E
I hear it calling me
E
A broken rail as he drools over the congregation
E
I hear it calling me
E
Now I won't tell you how to live your life
E
I never saw the point in thinking twice
E
I turn the wheel by day, by night
E
Raise your flag
E
Here's to the liberation
[Pre-Chorus]
F# A
Day by day I move in time
F# D
Turn the wheel, pay for my crimes
[Chorus]
Em B
The miller's horse is wearing down
Bm A B
He bangs his heart on Halloween ground
Em B
The Miller hears a single sound
A B D# D#m F E
The sound of the grinding wheel goes round and round
[Verse 2]
E
The ship has sailed to dark sea destinations
E
I feel it holding me
E
The gods are hailed for their absentee observations
E
I feel it holding me
E
Now I can't tell you where integrity hides
E
It showed it's face, you struck it down and it died
E
I turn my wheel with a seamless pride
E
Raise your flag
E
Here's to the revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
F# A
Day by day I move in time
F# D
Turn the wheel, pay for my crimes
[Verse 3]
E
The pain is all you ever feel
E
A concrete will, and a back of steel
F#
I give my soul unto the wheel
[Pre-Chorus]
F# A
Day by day I move in time
F# A G F#
Turn the wheel, pay for my crimes
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Bm
Eye off of the needle, in the heart of the sun
B F#m F#
Stuck in the middle, Whit the blazing one
B Bm
This weathered hand, has a grip of steel
B
These eyes have seen it all;
F#m D F#m E
catch your spirit on the grinding wheel
A
Say you prayers, say what you feel
G
Count your blessings, make a deal
E D
What you borrow, what you steal
G D E
Crush it all, on the grinding wheel
