"Bat Out Of Hell"
Written by Jim Steinman
The sirens are screaming 
And the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows 

With a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air 

There's thunder in sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
Oh, and down in the tunnel 

Where the deadly are rising
Oh, I swear I saw a young boy 

Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat

Oh, baby you're the only thing 

In this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are 

And wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most 

Of our one night together
When it's over, you know
We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done 

And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner 

Before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

I'm gonna hit the highway 

Like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot 

And the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
Everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost
And I know that I'm damned 

If I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat 

I've got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you
And if I gotta be damned 

You know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
Well, if I gotta be damned 

You know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned 

You know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned 

You know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you

Oh baby, you're the only thing 

In this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are 

And wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most 

Of our one night together
When it's over, you know
We'll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell
I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done 

And the sun goes down
And the moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner 

Before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

And like a sinner
Before the gate of heaven
I'll come rolling on back to you

I can see myself tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe
And no one's gonna stop me now
I gotta make my escape
But I can't stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve 

'Til it's way too late
And I never see the sudden curve 

'Til it's way too late

Then I'm dying at the bottom 

Of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot 

Of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere 

Must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating

Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Then I'm dying 
at the bottom 
Of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot 
Of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere 

must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating, still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
