(Intro: Heavy, rhythmic pounding on the floor toms, like footsteps in an alleyway. A lone guitar plays a minor-key, "menacing" melody before the whole band crashes in at 160 BPM.) Verse 1 He walks the line where the asphalt meets the dark A silent shadow moving through the midnight park They say he lost his soul in a car park brawl Now he’s the hammer that’ll make the empire fall A denim jacket and a fist of solid stone He stalks the alleyways and he travels all alone The thugs are trembling when they hear the leather creak He is the voice for the broken and the weak! Pre-Chorus They see him coming in the flicker of the light A one-man riot in the middle of the night The timer’s counting down, the screen is fading fast But the Renegade is built to be the last! Chorus Target: Renegade! (He’s breaking the chain) Target: Renegade! (He’s bringing the wave) He’s the urban executioner, the king of the street Laying every syndicate beneath his heavy feet No mercy in his eyes, no silver in his hand The only law left in a godforsaken land! Target: Renegade! (Break the chains!) The streets are screamin’ his name... RENEGADE! Verse 2 He crossed the bridge where the shadows love to hide He took the punches but he never lost his pride A flying kick sends a giant to the floor He’s moving upward to the penthouse door From the billiard halls to the docks of salty mist They feel the lightning of his iron-plated fist He doesn't speak, he just leaves a trail of red Until the Master of the Scum is finally ends Pre-Chorus They see him coming in the flicker of the light A one-man riot in the middle of the night The timer’s counting down, the screen is fading fast But the Renegade is built to be the last! Chorus Target: Renegade! (He’s breaking the chain) Target: Renegade! (He’s bringing the wave) He’s the urban executioner, the king of the street Laying every syndicate beneath his heavy feet No mercy in his eyes, no silver in his hand The only law left in a godforsaken land! Target: Renegade! (Break the chains!) The streets are screamin’ his name... RENEGADE! Bridge (The music drops to a bass-heavy groove. The singer’s voice becomes a low, gritty whisper.) They tried to buy him off, they tried to take his life But you can’t kill a man who’s sharper than a knife The elevator’s rising to the top of the tower... The Renegade has come to claim his power! (Explosive Guitar Solo – Fast, soaring, and full of wah-pedal screams) Chorus Target: Renegade! (He’s breaking the chain) Target: Renegade! (He’s bringing the wave) He’s the urban executioner, the king of the street Laying every syndicate beneath his heavy feet No mercy in his eyes, no silver in his hand The only law left in a godforsaken land! Target: Renegade! (Break the chains!) The streets are screamin’ his name... RENEGADE! Outro He’s the ghost in the machine! (Renegade!) The most dangerous thing they’ve seen! (Renegade!) Walkin' away... into the neon gray... (Final sustained power chord with a "Level Clear" melodic flourish)
