See the outlaw stands alone beneath the burning sun The raging badlands now is his home There's no sign of victory, he lost his liberty And the only woman that he loved An outlaw chasing outlaws, a runner in the night By the radiant moon he will strike The seeker of all dangers has come to take his toll From the dead of night he will arise Renegade, Renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, Renegade This time the prowler will win He stalks in shadow lands, soundless, with gun in hand Striking like a reptile, so fierce No chance to get away, no time for your last prayer When the prowler sneaks up from behind An outlaw chasing outlaws, the hunter takes his pray The law of the jungle he obeys Craving for the danger to even out the scores Face to face, once and for all Renegade, renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, renegade This time the prowler will win On through the night he rides, on his raging horse made of steel Nothing can save you now, before the renegade you will kneel Renegade, Renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, renegade This time the prowler will win Renegade, Renegade Committed the ultimate sin Renegade, renegade This time the prowler will win
