[English]

Run away, run away, run away

You don't know who to run from

Nowhere to go, nowhere to go, nowhere to go

No road is left to run on

I was born, I was born with horns

Demons couldn't shake me up

Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on

'Cause we haven't had enough

Won't give up the fight

Make it out alive

Set this world on fire now

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

Don't give up

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I won't let you burn now

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

We're gonna make it out alive

Tonight, tonight, tonight

I'm screaming on the inside

I was trying to hide, trying to hide, trying to hide

Now I'm ready for this ride

Gotta face, gotta face the unknown

It's the only way to live

I'm ready to go, ready to go, ready to go

Somewhere I've never been

Won't give up the fight

Make it out alive

Set this world on fire now

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

Don't give up

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I won't let you burn now

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

We're gonna make it out alive

...

Make it out alive

Set this world on fire now

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

Don't give up

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I won't let you burn now

Whoa (whoa), whoa (whoa)

We're gonna make it out alive

Whoa, whoa, whoa

We're gonna make it out alive (whoa, make it out alive)

We're gonna make it out alive

...
