Bound By Fate (The Rising Dragon)

Fists of fire, of world renown
The spirit of combat formed to the flesh
Inner hate, desire burns, forever branded second best
One more drink, you'll feel no pain, a legacy of failure
They call his name, the hero bold
The name that cuts and tears like a knife
Once a friend, a brother lost
Jealousy consumes your life

See his face on every foe blinded with rage
Bound by fate to meet again, paths lie intertwined
On that day, the stars align, destiny has chosen
Bound by fate

Another street, another fight
Another prize to disguise your shame
Force a smile and choose a girl
And push the needle in your vein
Death is slow when life is cheap, living a lie

Bound by fate to meet again, paths lie intertwined
On that day, the stars align, destiny has chosen
Two are bound by fate to meet again, the legend never dies
On that day, the stars align, destiny has chosen
Bound by fate

Continue down this path of ruin
Living fast in hopes to forget
The hate that fuels your breathing heart
The rising dragon's final test
Spiral deeper into hell, forever you are
