[English]

Like wild fire

Comes roaring

Mad whirlwind

Burning the road

Black thunder

White lightning

Speed Demons cry

The Hell Patrol

The Hell Patrol

Night riders

Death dealers

Storm-bringers

Tear up the ground

Fist flying

Eyes blazing

They're glory bound

The Hell Patrol

The Hell Patrol

...

Brutalize you

Neutralize you

Gonna go for your throat as you choke

Then they'll vaporapeize you

Terrorize you

Pulverize you

Gonna cut to the bone as you groan

And they'll paratamize you

...

Chrome monsters

Steel warriors

Soul stealers

Ripping out hearts

They're Devil dogs

The Hell Patrol

The Hell Patrol

...
