"Heh..." Moon's up... Stygia's hungry. [Verse 1 - fast, breathless, cinematic] When the church bell starts its calling and the daylight finally dies Moonlight dances down Stygia as THIS CAT starts to smile Dead hands reaching up the stone wall, rotten fingers scraping rock Every bloody night they find us... Every bloody night they knock Christian slams his shield together Like the thunder splits the sky Some folks whisper prayers to heaven... THIS CAT whispers... "Time to DIE." [Pre-Chorus] Hear the bell... Draw the steel... There's no safer place... Than the battlefield... [Chorus - huge arena hook] LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! Straight into the night! Moonlight on Stygia Looking for a fight! LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! Hear the church bell call! If hell wants this whole damn world... THIS CAT WANTS IT ALL! (Hey!) (Hey!) [Verse 2 - relentless] Every rooftop hides a nightmare Every shadow bares its teeth Every street becomes a battlefield Every breath smells just like death Christian hits them like an avalanche Shield first through the dead THIS CAT follows close behind him Painting moonlight crimson red Stone wall disappearing slowly Under claw and broken bone Funny how the whole damn colony... Still keeps standing... Not alone. [Pre-Chorus] Hear the bell... Steel sings free... Tonight belongs... To you and me... [Chorus] LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! Straight into the night! Moonlight on Stygia Looking for a fight! LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! Never slow... never crawl... If hell wants this whole damn world... THIS CAT WANTS IT ALL! [Guitar Solo - screaming 80s arena rock, melodic, soaring] [Bridge - drums only, spoken then exploding] CHRISTIAN!! "I'M WITH YOU!" THEN LET THE BASTARDS CLIMB!! LET 'EM COME!! TONIGHT THEY LEARN... WHO HUNTS... WHO. (YEAHHHH!!) [Breakdown - emotional, slowly rebuilding] When the morning sun is rising... Stygia sleeps... The church bell's silent... For a while... But tomorrow... When that first bell rings... THIS CAT... Will smile... [Final Chorus - massive, triumphant] LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! Straight into the night! Moonlight on Stygia Looking for a fight! LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! Hear the church bell call! If hell wants this whole damn world... THIS CAT WANTS IT ALL! LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! (Tiger outta hell!) LIKE A CAT OUT OF HELL! (Tiger outta hell!) [Yelling] RING THAT BELL!! ONE MORE NIGHT!! [Extended Guitar Solo - epic twin harmonies, triumphant ending] [Outro - lone church bell, sustained guitar] "Heh..." [End]
