A heavy song with heavy use of synth arpeggios and double kick patterns, it features a very nu-metal-like guitar riff during the intro, reminiscent to bands like [[Slipknot]] and [[Korn]]. The guitar solo relies on heavy use of tapping, including the Whammy pedal, and is thus similar in style to [[Reapers (song)|Reapers]]. What's also similar to the latter song is the siren, which appears during the bridge part, which also includes a heavy scream. The pre-chorus parts feature a similar tom pattern and vibe as the verses of Assassin's demo version, known as [[Assassin (song)|Debase Mason's Grog]]. The chord progression during the solo is similar to that of [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]]'s middle section, but with a slower drum beat.

The melody of the guitar during the break of the song, written in phrygian scale, and in B-minor, is reminiscent to that of [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It to Me]]'s verses.

|Kill or be killed
 
Crawling, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolve
Demons have materialized in me
Can't fight them, they're taking control
 
Tried, oh, I tried, so hard to be good,
But the war rewards us with ''[inaudible]''
 
Fate
Is driving me insane
Is forcing me to fix
I must kill or be killed
 
''[Inaudible]'' stick right through my heart
I'm growing so cold and detached
 
Tried, oh, I tried, so hard to spread love,
But you preverse it, and I assert control
 
Fate
Has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams are waste
Either kill or be killed
 
Either kill or be killed
 
Fate
Is driving me insane
Is forcing me to fix
I must kill or be killed
 
Kill or be killed

Unofficial, transcribed from live performances

Kill or be killed

Crawling, I'm exhausted with fear Our love and compassion dissolve Demons have materialized in me Can't fight them, they're taking control

Tried, oh, I tried, so hard to be good, But the war rewards us with [inaudible]

Fate Is driving me insane Is forcing me to fix I must kill or be killed

[Inaudible] stick right through my heart I'm growing so cold and detached

Tried, oh, I tried, so hard to spread love, But you preverse it, and I assert control

Fate Has brought us here to face Our hopes and dreams are waste Either kill or be killed

Either kill or be killed

Fate Is driving me insane Is forcing me to fix I must kill or be killed

Kill or be killed

Kill or be killed
