TOKYO BLADE LYRICS

1. Madame Guillotine

[Boulton/Marsh]

Running through the streets
The silence is haunting you
You know they prepare for attack
Can't walk around, I got to beware
Keep in the dark, out of sight

Got to keep running, time's running out
Beware of the knife in your back
Victim of hate, no one believes
Who cares what is wrong or what is right

[Bridge]
Screaming vengeance, I want to be free
Murder or treason, what's it to be

[Chorus]
Stand and stare so silently
Death awaits so patiently
Priest approach, the rites are read
Wait and see, the blade will fall

Running like hell and into the night
Wait 'til the time is just right
People are screaming out for revenge
The price is a life for a life

Fighting and screaming, bodies lie bleeding
Fires burn into the night
Years of restraint begin to decay
It's the law of the knife

[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]

The tide of power has turned
Now you are screaming don't let me die
Silently you fall down to your knees
Scream that charges are lies

[Solo]

It's too late now, the angel of death hangs over you
Tears fill my eyes, you hear the blade slide
You're going to die

2. Fever

[Boulton/Marsh]

Run for your life, there's danger in the air
You know the fate
Can't reason why, I look into the past
But it's too late

Down on the streets, into the depths of the night
Never, never look back

[Chorus]
Fever, fever, fever
All night long
Fever, fever, fever
All night long

Dressed for the kill, blood is running hot
Again tonight
Time's running out, all hell's breaking loose
It's dynamite

Neon lights, battle fights
No one stands in the way

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Solo]

3. Night Of The Blade

[Boulton/Marsh]

Night, down on the streets, nothing seems real
Shadows playing games on your mind
Victims all around, the fear here is real
Never knowing what you will find

KILLER, prowling the night
KILLER, can this be right?

[Chorus]
Night of the blade
There's no escape
Night of the blade
Run for your life

Run, something is near, the plan is attack
Jack the knife has called out your name
Scream if you can, no one will hear
People say he's going insane

SINNER, prowling the night
SINNER, can this be right?

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

Run, run, run, night of the blade
Run, run, run, night of the blade

4. Breakout

[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins]

Stare through the window, a cold and empty cell
Recalling all the fear I feel about this night
Time's standing still, my spirit's running low
I'm not afraid to die but I know the end's in sight

[Bridge]
Another prisoner trapped inside these walls
Tell me that I'm dreaming, I hear them call my name

[Chorus]
Danger, danger, breakout, breakout
danger, danger, breakout, breakout

Siren's screaming out, searchlights burn my eyes
My body's aching, the dogs are on my trail
Tears in my eyes, roadblocks up ahead
Somebody's screaming, the dead men tell no tales

[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]
[Solo]
[Repeat chorus]

5. Unleash The Beast

[Boulton/Marsh]

Step this way, don't be afraid
Ten minutes of your time, the show has begun
Don't wait too long, there's room for more
Straight through that door, no need to run

[Bridge]
Now you pay, too slow to see
How it's too be, oh the lies
Death on the run, take me now

[Chorus]
Running, running for cover
Running, unleash the beast
Running, running for cover
Running, unleash the beast

The time has come, don't run away
Just step a little closer and you will be mine
You've made the choice, you're free to go
The price you pay is anytime

[Bridge]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]

6. Attack Attack

[Boulton/Marsh]

Sunrise, another day, smile on a killer's face
Strikes terror through the heart, all's lost without a trace
Pressure high at overload, fever pitch, it's gonna blow
They're closing in, the time is short
Somebody's gonna steal the show
A game of chance, the stakes are high
Spin the wheel, the ball will ride
No escape, no return
Squeeze the trigger, it's time to die

Power mad, the path is set
Can anybody tame this land
Terror deals destruction
Are we gonna change this hand
Make a stand, the charge begins
One step from genocide
And everybody's screaming why
It's hard to tell who's on your side

[Chorus]
Attack, attack
Until there's no one left to fight
Attack, attack
My gun is ready to explode
Attack, attack
until there's no one left to fight
attack, attack
my gun is ready to explode

[Solo]
[Repeat chorus]

7. Lightning Strikes (Straight Through The Heart)

[Boulton/Marsh/Wright]

I want to know if there's a reason
We keep on searching, we don't find a clue
In the gutter, in the free zone
We're all monkeys in a human zoo

[Bridge#1]
I won't take it any longer
Street lover, a love alone
The storm is raging, it's getting stronger
It's like a bomb, it's ready to blow

[Bridge#2]
Thunder rolls, and I can't live forever
Thunder rolls, I just can't take it

[Chorus]
Lightning strikes straight through the heart [x4]

Keep trying just a little harder
Give me an inch and I'll take the world
I'm hungry, think I'll raid the larder
I need attention like a little girl

[Bridge#1]
[Bridge#2]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge#2]
[Chorus]

8. Warrior Of The Rising Sun

[Boulton/Marsh]

Samurai!

In a long time ago, when the sword was your soul
And the sun turned to gold, and the day turned to night
A man stands alone, knowing he has the right
And the power of life, over all he surveys
With his sword in his hand, he rules all the land
Even fools understand, he lives just to fight
A man rich in pride, no one dares to defy
Don't stare in his eyes, 'cos he's the samurai

He bows his head and cries
'By The Sword I Will Live To Die'
His eyes are ablaze when he screams out his name
He lifts his sword to the rising sun
The sun hits the steel as he's shielding his eyes
He rules with the blade, will it drive him insane?

Death in life is his only way
Blood stains the land as they heed his commands
He'll fight to the death, when he makes his last stand
The time will come when they claim his crown
He'll be cut down 'cos he's only a man
But until that day, he will rule all this land

Samurai!
Samurai!
Samurai!
Samurai!
By the sword, You live to die...

[Solo]

You first killed so long ago
The way the warrior learns to fight
Can you feel your life's blood draining away?
Has the power to foresee
Knows the future, what's been before
Can't you see he's getting stronger? Sa-mur-ai!

Samurai!

9. Someone To Love

[Boulton/Marsh]

That girl, she don't give a damn
I try to fight it but its driving me mad
Nothing stops her, nothing ever could
Like a flame burning inside
One look into her eyes, she'll burn you alive
I can't fight it, don't know if I should

I know you run around, I know the things you say
I feel the pain but I can't turn away
I know its wrong but I just can't break the spell
Cold as ice, always in control
But you're so distant, always far away
Can't believe it, thought I knew so well

[Chorus]
Someone to love (someone to love)
Gonna make you feel alright
Someone to love (someone to love)
Gonna make you feel alright
Someone to love

Red hot, burning fire, gonna bring my love to you
I can feel your blood run hot
Gonna bring you, to your knees

[Solo]
[Repeat Chorus]

10. Mean Streak

[Boulton/Marsh]

Standing in the shadows, evil smile upon his face
Today he's on top but tomorrow he'll be down
He strikes for vengeance then he's gone without a trace
Mark my words, he'll be back, no time to lose

[Bridge]
Play into his hands, it's no good turning back
One look into his eyes, a face that twists your mind

[Chorus]
Mean streak
He's got a mean streak
Oh mean streak
A mean streak

Acting like a child but he walks the road to ruin
Steal everything you've got, then throw your life away
When he gives a helping hand, do you know what he's doing
He's got the power to make things work, it's part of his plan

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]

11. If Heaven Is Hell

[Boulton/Marsh]

Light, burning in your eyes, telling all your lies
leading me to hell, and I just hope and pray
That I'll be there some day, I'm going all the way

[Chorus]
If Heaven Is Hell
You'll never get me down
If Heaven Is Hell
You'll never get me down

Run, fighting to the end, just what will we learn?
Will we burn away?, is this what you want?
Its too late to change, stare it in the face

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Solo]

Don't, don't turn it away, we fought it so hard
Now we can't, turn it away

[Chorus]

12. Break The Chains

[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins]

Woke today, my heads a daze
I can't remember a thing about the night
Reflections of an empty face
There's something wrong and I'm lost without a trace

[Bridge]
Lady killer, a lost cause
Locked away, screaming in vain
Body wrapped in chains
Going insane, I can't stand the pain

[Chorus]
Break the chains, break the chains
Break the chains from me now
Whoa - oooo

Feeling cold, my fears returned
Close my eyes, but the nightmare still remains
I can't believe, my eyes reveal
I can't recall where I was the night before

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]

13. Dead Of The Night

[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins]

In the dark of the night, you stand all alone
Once you were glad to be free of your dreams
Now you can't stop your screaming
Cos the words never come

[Chorus]
The dead of the night
The dead of the night

[Solo]

The time's ten to midnight
When the price will be paid
The night is black and there's nowhere to run
He believes what he's doing
Now vengeance is mine, hear him cry

[Chorus]

14. Powergame

[Boulton/Marsh]

You like to mess around with all the guys in town
And you don't give a damn what that means to me
And now there's no one left that you ain't cheated on
They've all got wise to you, just like me

[Bridge]
You're living, you're loving, you've got to beware
You're cheating, you're scheming more than you dare

[Chorus]
You love it, you need it, Powergame
You want it, you feed it, Powergame
More power, more fever, Powergame
It's hot, It's money, Powergame

Cold and hard inside, steel look in your eyes
The promises you make are only there to break
Looking for the action but you should know by know
Sleep on alone at night, for you own sake

[Bridge]
You're crying, You're bleeding, there's nowhere to run
You're lying, you're screaming, it's your turn to burn

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus ]

15. Highway Passion

[Boulton/Marsh]

Screaming with pleasure, wind tears your flesh
Power within your grasp, burn into the night
Smell of death and danger, keeps you driving on
Engines hot and hungry, ride again tonight

[Bridge]
Face bleeding with pain when will it end
Are you afraid of dying tonight
Your lights shining bright
Will you ever change your ways
Just live for today

[Chorus]
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion

Tear out your heart, a voice inside you laughs
Stare in the face of death, this time you can't defy
No one to turn to know, your life is on the line
It's not a crazy dream, I hear you screaming why

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]

16. Midnight Rendezvous

[Boulton/Marsh]

Another, another lonely night
I want to know who can be right
She's dressed to kill and I'm under her spell
I think I know her, but I never can tell

[Bridge]
You give to me that something I need
Without you near I just can't survive
I need your love, but that look in your eyes
Is so much colder than Ice

[Chorus]
Midnight rendezvous
I've got to get a message to you
Midnight rendezvous
What more can I do

You're tearing my heart out

I close my eyes but I still feel my pain
I'm pushed away while you play your game
You're not so shy, but you've got nothing to say
Just look at me and throw my heart away

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

You run, you run away

[Solo]
[Chorus]

17. Sunrise In Tokyo

[Boulton/Marsh]

Listen to the sounds, they fill my head
The room goes round and round
Calm before the storm, I feel so alone
And I know that something's going down

[Bridge]
Down in the streets, the spotlight's shining bright
Neon lights, crazy nights, race the shadows to the dawn

[Chorus]
Sunrise In Tokyo [x4]
Tokyo!, Tokyo!

Can't shake it loose, I was born to the night
Can't wait for the light with you
Candle in the wind, burn it down
And wait for the rising sun

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]

Race through the night, see the madman approach
Look in his eyes chills your bones
Times close at hand, are you waiting to die?
But the face in the window is mine
Oh no

[Solo]
[Chorus]

18. Killer City

[Boulton/Marsh]

Standing in the shadows, see a vision on your mind
You will see the sunrise, will you make it through the day?
Running down a side street, is somebody after you
Got to turn and face it, there's just no other way

[Chorus]
Down on your knees, praying for the day to break
No one to hear you cry, death rules the streets
Running wild, running wild

Night in the back streets, nobody dares to walk
A shadow by the streetlamp, a chill runs through your spine
Your head in your hands, your back against the wall
A tear from your eye, as you see the metal shine

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]

Killer City, how can we live when you destroy
Killer City, will stand and fight, we have to survive

19. Liar

[Boulton/Marsh]

I don't stop for no one, no one pushes me
I'm just here for living, just running wild and free
I don't give a damn, no one is gonna stop me
In dark and empty streets, nobody sees

[Bridge]
I'm a killer, running free
I'm a killer, can't you see

[Chorus]
Liar, now you run for your life
Liar, Now you run for your life

In the dark of the night, in the light of the day
Take my hand and you'll see hell and the face of fear
It's no place to hide, there's no place to run
When your name's on that list

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]

20. Death On Main Street

[Boulton/Marsh]

In the heat of the night, in the light of the morning
Take my hand, I'll lead you there, the streets of fear
In the shadow of the sun, dark and empty streets
No ones safe, no one laughs, the message is clear

[Bridge]
When you're walking alone
Better run for your life
Somebody's screaming
Running with a knife

[Chorus]
Death On Main Street, no good screaming
Death On Main Street

In the streets of the city, no one's free from attack
Lock yourself away, can't face another day
Death doesn't need appointments, never know when it strikes
News reports are frightening, got to get away

[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
