Blood Red Skies
As the sun goes down, I move around,
Keeping to the shadows
Life hangs by a thread,
And I've heard it said
I'll not see tomorrow
Keeping to the shadows
Life hangs by a thread,
And I've heard it said
I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny,
It'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time,
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
It'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time,
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the Hand of Justice telling wrong from right,
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat, digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you,
I'm telling you:
I'm telling you:
You won't break me,
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me,
You won't take me
I'll fight you under blood red skies
You won't take me
I'll fight you under blood red skies
Through a shattered city,
Watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides,
The decaying paradise
Watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides,
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper with computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in,
They'll never win
They'll never win
You won't break me,
You won't take me,
You won't make me
Under blood red skies
You won't take me,
You won't make me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me,
You won't take me,
I'll fight you under blood red skies
You won't take me,
I'll fight you under blood red skies
As the end is drawing near, standing proud,
I won't give in to fear
As I die, a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight,
You'll never take me alive
I won't give in to fear
As I die, a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight,
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground,
I won't go down
You won't break me,
You won't take me
'Cause I'll fight you under blood red skies
You won't break me,
You won't take me
'Cause I'll face you under blood red skies
I won't go down
You won't break me,
You won't take me
'Cause I'll fight you under blood red skies
You won't break me,
You won't take me
'Cause I'll face you under blood red skies
You'll never take me alive,
I'm telling you
Hands of Justice
I'm telling you
Hands of Justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender
As the sun goes down
As the sun goes down
