[start] [Intro: Synth pads swell with atmospheric undertones, cascading cymbals build tension, leading into a full band crash with a driving F#-minor riff, twin electrics in harmony, bass locked tightly, drums charge into double-time, focusing on kick/snare interplay] [Verse 1] Steel chains rattling in the dark, Engines scream and the night ignites, Every step’s gonna leave a mark, Every breath like a spark in the fight. No mercy in the shadows here, No silence for the wicked ones, The clock’s burning down, crystal clear, It’s too late when the madness comes. [Chorus: Soaring harmonies, guitars sustain under lead fills] No time to run, The fire’s in your veins, No time to hide, You’re breaking every chain. No time to run, The battle’s just begun, You’re in the heat, And there’s no time to run. [Verse 2] Streetlights flicker in a dead-end haze, Boots pound hard on the killing floor, Every turn’s like a razor blade, Every scream’s just begging for more. Ride the storm with your head held high, Feel the thunder in every drum, You can hear the reaper’s battle cry, But you know that you won’t succumb. [Chorus] No time to run, The fire’s in your veins, No time to hide, You’re breaking every chain. No time to run, The battle’s just begun, You’re in the heat, And there’s no time to run. [Bridge: Drop to chugging F#5 riff with syncopated drums, gang shouts echoing “Run! Run!” before lead break] No surrender, no retreat, Hear the pounding of the street, Every second burning fast, Live it now — it’s never gonna last! [Solo: Twin electrics shred in harmony, dive bombs and rapid triplets over driving rhythm. Vivian Campbell's style fluid legato runs with melodic phrasing, alternating between searing bends and intricate arpeggio sweeps. A soaring climax leads into a dramatic sliding descent, echoing the urgency of the song's theme.] [Chorus: Double-time drums, harmonies stacked thick] No time to run, The fire’s in your veins, No time to hide, You’re breaking every chain. No time to run, The battle’s just begun, You’re in the heat, And there’s no time to run. [Outro: Guitars harmonise on F#-minor scale descending run, echoing the main riff. Drums play triplet fills leading to a grand tom roll. Bass mirrors the guitar for a thunderous finish. Synth pads re-emerge, adding ethereal layers, as the band crescendos with a powerful F#5 chord. Instrumentation fades as synth holds, leaving a lingering atmospheric tone.] [end]
