I have been after this for years since hearing it on metal radio show in 80s. It has a crunching riff that chugs along and then a killer power  metal riff locks in.

the lyrics if i recall poperly from the casette tape I taped this on are

you got this feeling your alone and you suddenly wish you were at home now
(lalalalalalal) and I have something running to get you down
you hear some noise and theres noone in sight and guard yourself a shadow of the night
dont you beg dont you (lalala) no guarantee you will get what you paid for

chorus: blade runner, blade runner, blade runner
run for your life outs here cos thats the way out
run for yr life outa here show me how
run for your life outs here cos thats the way out

and thats all I remember (it could be called blade runner but I googled it and got nothin'. It sounds a bit like Grave Digger but I dont think so 

I heard them recently here

I was told it was Black Widow but its nothing like them

who the heck is it and whats it called metal addicts!

	Searched through my collection but the best that I could come up with was Twisted Sister's Run For Your Life from the album Under The Blade, but those weren't the right lyrics. I did like that Grave Digger song however. I had not heard of them before.

	I found lots of "Run For Your Life" songs from likely candidates, but none of them turned out promising. I found songs from White Wolf, Jaguar, Riot, Loudness, Grim Reaper, Runner, and Avenger but none of them had the Blade Runner part. Sorry. I have failed. P.S. I found a band called Blade Runner that released an album called Hunted in 1984. Probably not the answer but.... Edited by rushfan4 - 30 May 2010 at 10:11pm

	Alright I just found this link on the Encyclopedia Metallium for a band called Black Widow from Belgium. They have a song called Blade Runner on their 1984 release called Streetfighter. I couldn't find Blade Runner, but I did find this song from that album.

	Yep, that is definitely the song. If you click on this link http://www.vibrationsofdoom.com/test/BlackWidow.html you can listen to the songs on Real Player, and that is definitely it based on the lyrics that you provided..
