The sound of survival is running wild
through these streets of decay
This evil city isn’t so pretty
when you’ve got nowhere to stay
The sound of survival no doubt will blind you,
so you just look away
In a state of denial your mind running wild
you can’t escape from the fear
Nightfall’s decending over the city,
evil’s out on the street
Don’t ask where I’m going ’cause I still don’t know yet,
or what will become of me
My mind’s on fire burning with desire
hoping that I’ll find my way
I hope I’ll be dreaming from the twilight’s last gleaming
till the stroke of dawn
(Solo)
The sound of survival is running wild
in a world that’s gone mad
And deep in your mind you know that you won’t survive, girl,
if you don’t get away
So don’t get trapped here and you may escape from
a fate worse than death
Only the sound of survival, running wild,
is left ringing in your ears
