[English]

Look to the sky and face the sun

You better try to race against the gun

...

There's nothing left for you to prove

You get a chance then now's the time to move

...

Nothing to rival

This heavy load

Pray for survival

End of the road

You're on the run from the stun of the flame thrower

...

Sealing your fate, incinerate by the flame thrower

...

No remedy so be afraid

It's cutting deep just like the razor blade

...

No escape, you're in a spell

Don't you believe you stand a chance in hell

...

Rays of redemption

Fall from the sky

Into the maelstrom

Blink of an eye

You're on the run from the stun of the flame thrower

...

Sealing your fate, annihilate by the flame thrower

...

Immolate the bodies

No one will be saved

Consecrate with fire

Ashes fill the grave

...

Look to the sky and face the sun

You better try to race against the gun

...

There's no escape, you're in a spell

Don't you believe you stand a chance in hell

...

Nothing to rival

This heavy load

Pray for survival

End of the road

You're on the run from the stun of the flame thrower

...

Sealing your fate, terminate by the flame thrower

...

Flame thrower

...

Flame thrower

Flame thrower

Flame thrower

...
