Lyrics for The Mercenary

Pay to kill, die to lose Hunter, hunted which are you Diablo comes again To make trophies out of men Lose your skin, lose your skull One by one the sack is full In the heat dehydrate Know which breath will be your last Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide You've got to kill to stay alive Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide You've got to kill to stay alive Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Human heart, human mind Intellect intertwined Focus sharp in the night Watch the jungle burning bright Toe to toe throw the line Everyone's caught hand tied Iron will Iron fist How could it have come to this? Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide You've got to kill to stay alive Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide You've got to kill to stay alive Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain
