Ron Keel and Yngwie Malmsteen:

Dream stealer, disbeliever
Don't take a chance on me
High risk, a shot in the dark
I come easy, but I don't come free

Shot down, kicked in the teeth
Call me crazy, call me a fool, yeah
Lay the odds, roll the dice
But don't tell me I'm breakin' the rules!

Cold day in hell
You're freezing me, can't you tell
It's a cold day in hell
How much of your soul can you sell?

Empty eyes of heartless friends
The night is mine again
Bitter streets of evil stares
No one listens, no one cares

Cold steel is made to last
But chains of gold are broken fast
Cold city ain't freezing me, yeah
Things aren't what they seem to be

Get ready to go
Or get out of my way
I'm not takin' a free ride
I'm hot on a cold day in hell
