Hey ..hey ..ye ye yeah…
Ha ha ha ha…
A deadly
gang is on the prowl
Driven by wild fury,
roaming to hunt
The fear of death
looms right ahead
A life fighting for breath,
its sound is heard
Cornering the target,
spitting bullets
Is it fate.. or a conspiracy..
The fear of losing your life
it will plant inside you
La... la... la... la... la
La... la... la... la... la
Fear inside you
it will sow
La... la... la... la... la
La... la... la... la... la
He's a gangster
Ooh yeah
The enemy gang
clears the way
to save their lives,
cowering in fear
Without even a battle,
stories come to an end
Finishing you off
in an instant,
in a pool of blood,
soaked completely,
without making a sound,
he moves on
Chorus: Moves on..
Is he Yama (God of Death)..
What on earth is he..
Is he death itself..
Chorus: Is he..
Is destruction his trade?
Is he the split of an atom?
Just who is he..
The fear of losing your life
it will plant inside you
A deadly
gang is on the prowl
La... la... la... la... la
La... la... la... la... la
Driven by wild fury,
roaming to hunt
La... la... la... la... la
La... la... la... la... la
The fear of death
looms right ahead
La... la... la... la... la
La... la... la... la... la
A life fighting for breath,
its sound is heard
La... la... la... la... la
La... la... la... la... la
Cornering the target,
spitting bullets
Is it fate.. or a conspiracy..
The fear of losing your life
it will plant inside you

Hey.. hey.. yeah yeah yeah...
