[Verse 1]
Mankind has found every treasure on earth
It stands to reason that we have got all we want
Comfort is now a condition of life
Without any sources, our dream will fade away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
To live a better day was our final aim
Did we ever try?

[Chorus]
Start running

[Verse 2]
The moment of reason will someday appear
But then it's too late to return or to stay
No single person can change the truth
We have to move forward and do it side by side

[Pre-Chorus 2]
To live a better day is our final aim
And we won't stop tryin' (tryin', tryin')

[Chorus]
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are comin'?
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are comin'?
[Bridge]
The things we have done
To destroy our world are enough
How long will this madness remain?

[Solo]

[Bridge]
We're children of the warriors
We learn from our faults
Hope is our guiding hand
Conscience is our force

[Chorus]
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are comin'?
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are comin'?

Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are comin'?
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are comin'?
