[Verse 1]

I'm on the run, nowhere to turn, they're on my heels

Lost in the maze, where do I go?

Am I insane? It's just a game of life and death

Stay the course and ride the flow

I cross the bridge, I'm at the gates

I'm out of breath, chasing the clock, I'm out of time

I hear the dogs, I feel the claws rake down my back

There's no escape, no peace of mind


[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, just hold on

Ooh, just hold on

Ooh, I'm on my way to you


[Chorus]

Run with the devil, run for your life

The truth of the moment, it cuts like a knife

Chasing a shadow, still chasing a dream

When it's 'do or die', you know there's no in between

Whoa, whoa, no


[Verse 2]

I see the fiends, they're on the move, they strike with fear

Give them the slip, I duck the blade

I knuckle down, I roll the dice, I dance with death

Lost in the realm of light and shade

My path is weak, it falls away, I feel the heat

The fires of hell beneath me rise

Caught in a trap, there's no way out, walls closing in

Is this the hour of my demise?


[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, just hold on

Ooh, just hold on

Ooh, I'm on my way to you


[Chorus]

Run with the devil, run for your life

The truth of the moment, it cuts like a knife

Chasing a shadow, still chasing a dream

When it's 'do or die', you know there's no in between...


[Bridge]

I've searched the depths of hell to find the key

I've wasted time, now time has wasted me

Whoa


[Instrumental Break]


[Guitar Solo]


[Keyboard Solo]


[Chorus]

Run with the devil, run for your life

The truth of the moment, it cuts like a knife

Chasing a shadow, still chasing a dream

When it's 'do or die', you know there's no in between

Whoa, whoa, no
