        Am          F              Dm
As the sun goes down, I move around
                Am
Keeping to the shadows
                      F
Life, hangs by a thread
                      Dm                    Am
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow

If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting

Am
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
F
Threw me out upon the street
        G
In the middle of the night
Am
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
F
Pneumatic fingers nearly
 E
Had me in their vice

    Dm
Not begging you
             E
I'm telling you

Chorus:
Am
You won't break me
You won't make me
F
You won't take me
        G        Am
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
           G
You won't take me
F
I'll fight you under
  G         Am
Blood red skies

Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon,
for its victim of the night

They're closing in
They'll never win

Chorus

F                      G
As the end is drawing near
Am
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
F                          G
As I die a legend will be born
E
I will stand, I will fight
                       Am
You'll never take me alive

I'll stand my ground
I won't go down

Chorus

You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear
