Our time has come, we must take justice in our hands
I feel heavy and hard, but that's just the way it is
There out to steal our dreams, our pride, our dignity
Will we find in the art we play, will we roll the dice?

[Bridge:]
And some of us will die
For freedom to survive
Standing here ready for action
Come on bring it on

[Chorus:]
Streets of fire
Throne of the night
Fate and desire
Eye for an eye
Streets of fire
The rise and the fall
In the streets of fire
War raging on

Surrounded and outnumbered
No fear of destiny
We won't run, we won't hide
This town will be painted red

There'll be no begging for mercy
See them closing in
We're all men, not mice
The faith will stay alive

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

One slash is all it takes
Just the swing of the knife in the hand
Learn the rules or prepared for your death
Time to live and time to die,
But we'll keep our hand
Brothers let's pray and just say our goodbyes
Then send them to hell

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
