I sit on a velvet red seat
I feel the cold rush of the heat
I watch the heavy fists fly fast
I know that no one's reign will last
A leather strap tight on the wrist
A sudden snap a heavy twist
The floor is hard the ceiling high
I see the anger in an eye
Toss the coin and pick a side
Nowhere left for them to hide
Blood and bone and iron glove
Hate is all they know of love
The Mishima blood is a curse
Each new fight makes the ending worse
A jagged scar across the face
A brutal fight in a dark place
Toss the coin and pick a side
Nowhere left for them to hide
Blood and bone and iron glove
Hate is all they know of love
Tear the temple stone apart
Find the crack inside a heart
One last hit to end the game
No one remembers a name
I've seen the lightning hit the ground
I've heard the heavy crashing sound
The winner walks alone in rain
While the loser counts the pain
A golden belt a heavy prize
The hollow look in tired eyes
The crowd is gone the lights are low
I watch the final embers glow
Toss the coin and pick a side
Nowhere left for them to hide
Blood and bone and iron glove
Hate is all they know of love
Close the door and dim the light
End the long and lonely fight
Iron glove on a cold shelf
Keep the secret to yourself
