Begins to fill the space
In the arena
Flashlights at his feet
The lion from the street
Awaits the Christians
Blinding flash of light
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
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 Blinding flash of light 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 Explain Request ×
