7 Shots Lyrics

Down on his knees he sees the devil weeping/whinging his tongue
Mr. Cadillac doesn't even know he's been fighting his own
He's been trying shooting all the angels/devils inside
Playing around with the good and the evil in his mind
Alone in the desert and cold so cold

Driving back to the 10 house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

Welcome to a world of chaos, you've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the 10 house tale 7 shots in the night

Standing in the dark and shaking my own hand for a while
Saw the angel/devil vanished out in the light
Breathing new air for a day to begin
Soulless body with an empty shell
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

The price was high to pay and the memories are all crying like a child
A reason for all the blood that leaked, and a call up for the wild
Follow me to relentless street where all pain and love will die
7 shots in the body fakes well the loaded mind

This song continues the story from the last album, "Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood". This is also the first song out of two on the album, the second being the first track, 'The Mirror and The Ripper'. It also features Michael Denner of Mercyful Fate/King Diamond on guitar and Miland "Mille" Petrozza of Kreator on backing vocals.

This song picks up after the last album, with the protagonist Mr. Cadillac Blood down in his sorrows, feeling the devil looming over him, not realizing that the darkness is his own. He decides to drive back to The 10 House City from The Bar following his last performance, where he then discovers a gun in his car. It's then that he realizes that he has a dark side, represented as The Ripper, the destructive tendencies that lie within him. After looking in his rearview mirror, he realizes this potentially dark side was possibly fueling his destructive actions, possibly born from a life lived in a city plagued by darkness, lies buried deep in his memories.
