Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear, it's the rhythm what you need
Don't you see, it's the feeling of the passion
Look at me, don't you kill my destiny
Come on, you, the people is jumping
Take one, two, the night is on pumping
Hey, you're right tonight
Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Danger is coming back, destruction
Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Got to fight, and take you high
Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Danger is not too bad, in action
Time to be hero, call me, iron man
Ready and fighting
Now you see me, I'm eating all vibration
Full of me, it's the killing what I need
Stop me in, it's my bloody real intention
Get me in, and don't be my enemy
