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]
