A letra:
The
crowd without a face
Begins to fill the space
In the
arena
Flashlights at his feet
The lion from the street
Awaits
the Christians
A single strobe ignites the night
The smoke
begins to rise
A sea of staring eyes
Gaze on the sunburst
His
weapon at his side
He flashes it with pride
Before his
legions
Fires begin to rage
And they engulf the stage
All
right
Bring on the night
He's in complete control
He's
stepping proud and bold
And everything he touches
Turns to
gold
He's got girls by the score
He's got 'em screaming for
more
But when they get too close
He bars the door
He
makes his great escape
Leaves them in his wake
Without a
warning
The ritual is done
A night no longer young
Fades
into morning
The sun begins to rise
As he begins to close his
eyes
