Lyrics

Anthrax

[Verse 1]

Steel shattered in the night

Soldiers racing to the fight

Bombs waiting to explode

Fear is cast upon your soul, whoa!

It's just around the corner

For those who dare to see

With eyes of fire

The burn right through me

[Verse 2]

Blood painted on the streets

Metal cutting into meat

You can see it in my eyes

A pain that never will subside

And you can feel the power

On evil it will feed

The force that surrounds me

It brings me to my knees

[Bridge]

We better run for cover

There's no time to waste

Cause if you turn your back now

It'll blow you away, yeah, yeah!

[Guitar Solo]
