BLADE RUNNER
Verse 1
Artificial man made to serve
Looking for answers, the reason for it all
Hidden behind skin, flesh and bone
The inbuilt weakness of an early death
Outcast experiment
Bringing vengeance on the men who played god
No purpose, to kill or be killed
Survival of the fittest, that's all they have left
Bridge
Burning hate for the human race
Taking for granted the time we have on earth
They'll stop at nothing to get at what they want
Soon to retire by the hand of the
Chorus
Blade Runner
Master of disguise
Blade Runner
They can't hide their lies
Verse 2
Patrolling slums in the forest of steel
A dieing city full of dieing souls
Scanning crowd for the sinister glance
The tell tale sign of the replicant scum
He has the order to kill on site
But sees himself in the ones he hunts
He can't allow something unnatural to live
For fear of what he might become
Bridge
Burning hate for the human race
Taking for granted, the time we have on earth
They'll stop at nothing to get at what they want
No mercy given by the hand of the
Blade Runner
The freedom to live a life
Not to be chained to a ticking bomb
It's time to look death in the eye
Time to die!
