Leather Rebel is the 4th track of album. The opening guitar riff is what instantly tells you that it gonna be what kind of a metal song. Leather Rebel and Metal Meltdown each one combining fantastic drumming, thrash and heavy riffs, Rob’s shrieks and the fastest tempos and double-basses of their car...
[Verse 1]
Hero of the night
Blood and thunder rushing through me
To the dawn of light
The sky is turning red
Like a renegade
All alone I walk through fire
Till I crash and blaze
I'm living on the edge
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Start a chain reaction
Sears the neon light
Stealing all the action
Always takes the fight
[Chorus]
Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart
[Verse 2]
Master of the streets
Bulletproof and bound for glory
Cities at my feet
I'm turning on the power
Running wild and free
No one dares to stand before me
That's my destiny
To rule the darkest hours
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Stories will recall
[Chorus]
Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart
[Lead: K.K. & Glenn]
[Lead: K.K.]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Stories will recall
[Chorus]
Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart
Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart
[Outro]
Leather Rebel
Leather Rebel
Leather Rebel

To be a metalhead you need to be rebellious and they wear leather, so. There is a fine line between being cheesy and being able to stand there and feel good about what you do.
