Hot Lead Cold Steel<br />

(Music: A. Tito / Lyrics: F. Orlandini)<br />

<br />

The story goes that<br />

Once I was drowned in a glass <br />

Then resurfaced again<br />

My soul was scarred and <br />

Forever branded with shame <br />

Of a worthless way <br />

<br />

A pack of rebels we're supposed to fight<br />

Savage, still bound with distant morals<br />

A long time has passed and a new age has come <br />

We're gonna make a clean sweep of 'em all <br />

They use no firearms <br />

Believe in cold steel<br />

There is no chance they prevail<br />

<br />

Emerging from the fog<br />

Of our delusions<br />

The roughness of the truth<br />

Has turned my point of view<br />

<br />

They arise from the bowels of time<br />

Bringing a forgotten loyalty<br />

Give their lives just to recoil from lies<br />

That's the price to pay<br />

<br />

Losing the battle I've lost my mind <br />

The right seems so wrong and the wrong's so charming<br />

I've fought unknown enemies all of my life<br />

Now for the first time, I've found their valour<br />

<br />

They need no firearms<br />

Believe in cold steel<br />

Their only way to prevail<br />

<br />

It's hard to realize<br />

You chose the wrong side <br />

You can't wipe what you did<br />

But you can cross the line<br />

<br />

They arise from the bowels of time<br />

Bringing a forgotten loyalty<br />

Give their lives just to recoil from lies<br />

That's the price to pay<br />

<br />

Isn't it foolish?<br />

You have to wait till the end<br />

To make sense to a whole life<br />

It's never too late<br />

To turn over a new leaf<br />

And to start from scratch <br />

<br />

They arise from the bowels of time<br />

Bringing a forgotten loyalty<br />

Give their lives just to recoil from lies<br />

That's the price to pay
