As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said
That I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital, precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in
They'll never win
You won't break me
You won't take me
You won't make me under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die, a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't take me
'Cause I'll fight you under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
'Cause I'll face you under blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender (never surrender)
I still stand, I stand
Keeping to the shadows
Life hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said
That I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital, precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in
They'll never win
You won't break me
You won't take me
You won't make me under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die, a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't take me
'Cause I'll fight you under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
'Cause I'll face you under blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender (never surrender)
I still stand, I stand

"As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down"
Amazing
What my personal views of this are isn't revelant, so lets not get into any of that.
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night." Meaning that Lucifer where cast out from heaven and stripped off his former glory in the middle of this age for his rebelion against the Laws of God. But that he is constantly surveyed by angelic and divine forces while roaming a broken world:"Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night."
He is certain that his time is almost at an end and that he is using the lack of spiritual insight as a cover for his deeds and existence. The downside of this is that he has to deal with his upcoming final judgement and increasing mockery from believers: "As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow.
But even though he is in this position he refuses to back Down and repent. But is determined to fight the heavens to the bitter end:"You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies."
That is my interpretation.
"You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me"
