Twelve strikes and I'm dying to hit the streets
A walking nightmare in a city that never sleeps
I'm a madman with gasoline in my veins
Just need a spark and I'm ready to kill again

You never see me
Mm, you never see me come
I'm the feeling that is always on your mind
I'm the shadow that is creeping up from behind

It's a midnight vice
Oh, it's a midnight vice
Look out, it's a midnight vice

To choose the streets was your one and only mistake
When I make my move I never hesitate
A flash of lightning, it all becomes so clear
Then I see red and you disappear

I've done it
Oh, and I will do it again
I see your faces whenever I close my eyes
You live inside me until the day I die

I'm going down the road just living for the day
Since I rolled the dice there ain't no other way
Thrills and excitement it fills me with delight
Look out for me, I strike tonight!

Awake the lust to love, awake the lust to kill
I make another throw and you law becomes my will
There must be ways to roll to take me even higher
There must be ways to reach the burning fire

Out in the night on my own
Found myself playing a game
Living to win, living to lose
Come on and let go
Roll the dice!

Trapped by the power, the power of its will
My only exit is for my own blood to spill
I have no chance to run, I have no chance to hide
Got a pact with evil and the devil by my side

Out in the night on my own
Found myself playing a game
Living to win, living to lose
Come on and let go
Roll the dice!

A full plate armour with no man nor soul inside
Corroding in the poisoned air within his shogunate
Yet, after ageless wait fire's buckled from inside
By a man of arms reaching like serpents into empires at all sides

The divine winds carries him like an arrow to its goal
Unwavering, laughing but without comedy
In the face of enemies and bloody tragedy
Mounted on horse back to deliver the Bushido's master stroke

Katana, Katana
When it leaves your side to reap
Katana, Katana
Bringing rivers of blood to weep
The dew on the trees of Shiroyama
Has the color of your sun

Ancient wisdom springs from his noble court
A wheel of wheels partaking in millennial codes
The quill is easily, eagerly replaced
Around steel the grip is firmer
Your convictions mirrored in the blade

Katana, Katana
When it leaves your side to reap
Katana, Katana
Bringing rivers of blood to weep
The dew on the trees of Shiroyama
Has the color of your sun

Unsheathe the longer and the shorter swords
Embrace fate and see the light of another day
Your time here depens on those before and those to come
Honour then and become the wind that slowly sweeps the dunes

I'm running in menace!

You wake these thoughts inside me and we're running out of time
I don't need any reason, what you may search you'll find

You're blind - when I'm around
I'm behind - you're going down

See you in Toky out in the city - you will never walk away from me
See you in Tokyo if you dare you will fight til the end when I'm gone, do believe
I'm running in menace!

You trade your life for diamonds under all these city lights
You'll never see the sun rise fulfilling my delights

It is time - when I'm around
How I have tried - you're going down

See you in Toky out in the city - you will never walk away from me
See you in Tokyo if you dare you will fight til the end when I'm gone, do believe
I'm running in menace!

Sweep the streets like a hurricane
Nothing to lose
You've got yourself to blame
You're a six shooter
Hot like a pistol
A most creative self destructor

My lady, my queen
My only dream, a sight surpreme
I need you, oh I need you
I gave you my everything

High roller
When I look I see a stranger in you eyes
High roller
I wish it was the other way around

No stream of sorrow or deception
Flows to drench your preen and pride
Your strength through blackness and your frozen fire leaves no cracks to hide
Feeding on the life that lives to love you
Can't let this love remain
But I know it's my future that I'm trying to abstain

High roller
When I look I see a stranger in you eyes
High roller
A ramblin' rose, a treat for those who strive
High roller
A high flying bird, I can not shoot you down
High roller
I wish it was the other way around

Reckless and restless
I'm trying to hold you
You're pushing me over
I can not quit you
No, no, no, no, no!
You gave me a flash of what life's supposed to be
But you're rollin' high girl
Way too high for me

[Instrumental]

Up from the dark depths of hell you come to play with my life
I feel your venomous glance cutting like a knife

Take me away
With your sinister list
Seduce me and I can't resist
We live for the night!

Bewitching my soul, lust for the flesh keeps me awake
Night after night in a daze with my life at stake

Take me away
With your sinister list
Seduce me and I can't resist
We live for the night!

Unconsciousness writing the scene of an end
Your distance sows nightmares of red to release
In a state of the tragic decay
They need what's to die here
I try to hold back but the fire is free
The pages are glowing in red
As I transfer through flames, I'm dividing the sea
The end of the story is now to be unfold

I need this fire to burn out
No sun can guide me through this night
They bleed, I weep
Your time til death gets short as I fall asleep
The night is over now
It's over now
It's over now

Awared I am weak, I take actions in sleep
In the hollow I'm altered, I'm draped
I try to awake but the dream is too deep
So close to the final flame that will free as the angels decease
They need what's to die, they need what's to be
So I kiss you goodnight, then they breed
Awake in this nightmare
Oh no!

The empty page reveals no truth no longer
These tired eyes won't read this through
The letters from the sunny side of this coma
Can't reach the darkness you are in

The heat of the sun surrounds me longer
The freezing deceit prevents me to see
The hole of your soul is weak as a dying whisper
The breath of my dreams is choking your screams

In the black, shapes of unknown line aments
A fucker of fore coming my way, a spark of the death
Sun is set, time is for me, the ascent
Fantastic are the terros, my cold breath

Deep into that darkness seeing cracks in time for me
Feel the night's ghost gently peering in at what's to be
Dreadful are the actions, mercilessly begun
As I remain, I am touched by the devilish one
Fire, walk with me!

Feel the terrors
The reek of virtue's sour smell
There are ways to make it through
There are ways for me and you
Grasp of darkness dwells
Time has come for me
To meet my shadow self

Resembling nothing I've ever seen before
Standing tall among giants yet forlorn
The biting cold of this crimson nightmare's grip
Is tearing at my strength, my soul will rip

The dweller on the threshold time reflection of the soil
Slipping into the deadness of this mighty black hole
Final chance now to set my spirit free
I say "fire, fire, fire walk with me!"

Now I've come to terms that fear is the key
A dance now in the moonlight the circle of sycamore trees

"Through the darkness of future past the magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds 'Fire walk with me!'"

Night falls and the full moon is glimmering bright
The sky is growing black stating nothing is sacred tonight

Cry it out, living life in the fast lane
Break the chains, break the chains to what's holding you down

Love of heavens won't make me heavenly
You try to embrace but your love is not made for me

Take me to Hell
Get me out of here

Heed the call, heed the call from Mephisto's bell
Consecrate your soul to the message of hell

Take me to hell - Living life in the fast lane
Take me to hell - Break the chains to what's holding you down
Take me to hell - Chew And spit it out
Take me to hell - Lit it and burned it out
