Head down the runway
I'm gonna strike
Right through the lightning
Take daylight, make it stay night
Blood runs through the streets
Go hard, go bunk
I'm not the enemy
So long, I'm done
I gave up everything
Go, lead me to light
Don't leave me lying here
We will rise - rise or die
Take what's yours - Make it mine
I'm taking you with me, with me
Everything that's in our way - Buttobashite
We will rise - rise or die
Come up from underground
Explode into the mainline
Something you've never seen
I'm not afraid to bleed
One love, one war
A whole new empire
New blood, new life
Japanese Vampire
Go, lead me to light
Don't leave me lying here
We will rise - rise or die
Take what's yours - Make it mine
I'm taking you with me, with me
Everything that's in our way - Buttobashite
We will rise - rise or die
I feel it might get loud
I feel it might get loud
I know you like it loud
I know you like it loud
We will rise - rise or die
Take what's yours - Make it mine
I'm taking you with me, with me
Everything that's in our way - Buttobashite
We will rise - rise or die
