The iron gates slide open wide
Where metal men have nowhere to hide
A flashing beam of purple glare
Cuts a jagged line through the air
Run for the gold in the pouring rain
Fight for the crown and ignore the pain
Scream to the wind in the steel sky glare
Victory waits for the one who is there
The flak cannon roars from the wall
Watching the armored giants fall
A sudden jump from a hidden floor
Opening up a brand new door
Run for the gold in the pouring rain
Fight for the crown and ignore the pain
Scream to the wind in the steel sky glare
Victory waits for the one who is there
The shock rifle hums with a blue spark
Tearing a hole through the heavy dark
They dive through the smoke of a red blast
Hoping the armor will hold and last
The clock ticks down to the final bell
A chrome plated heaven or a lead shell
Hold the line where the platforms shake
Wait for the moment the barriers break
The announcer shouts from a tower high
Under a heavy and charcoal sky
A single shot from a long range gun
Tells all the others the battle is done
Run for the gold in the pouring rain
Fight for the crown and ignore the pain
Scream to the wind in the steel sky glare
Victory waits for the one who is there
The smoke clears away from the killing field
Only one warrior refuses to yield
The winners walk through the sliding gate
Leaving the losers to meet their fate
Run for the gold in the pouring rain
Fight for the crown and ignore the pain
Scream to the wind in the steel sky glare
Victory waits for the one who is there
Steel sky, cold light
The champion wins the fight
