Fighting for Love
04:58
|
|||
with every step you take
my heart begins to ache
My only weakness is longing for you
With every chance that slips
between my fingertips
but you've got defenses that I will break through
Don't start behaving
Like I don't know how to feed your craving
you've got a battle, and that battle is me
Fighting for Love
Fighting for love
and when the weight of the world's got you down
You're fighting for love
Fighting for Love
Fighting for love
and when the fear is always around
You're fighting for love
I feel your racing heart
although we're miles apart
I will keep chasing you till the end
I almost see your face
and feel your sweet embrace
is this so hard for you to comprehend?
Don't start behaving
Like I don't know how to feed your craving
you've got a battle, and that battle is me
I will follow the beat of your heart
even though we are miles apart
On your love is what I depend
and your honor is what I defend

Cross the Line
05:08
|
|||
Another chapter ends as the streetlights meet the dusk
I never hung my hat for too long; I never found someone to trust
Just another empty road to a town I couldn’t name
Just a step ahead of loneliness, just a mile ahead of pain
Then I met you…
And I knew just what you wanted me to do
Let’s steal away tonight on a chase for something new
One more time
Cross the line
Make you mine and I will be there by your side
Every time
Cross that line
Make you mine and on forever we will ride, by my side
I saw your amber eyes calling out for something more
And your long and listless legs that yearned to bolt right out that door
Ready to burn away the roots that hold you down
To give a fond farewell to no one; to make a break and ditch this town
When I met you…
Well I knew just what you wanted me to do
We ride the line tonight on a chase for something new

Offering to the Void
04:24
|
|||
There’s a crowd at the edge of the void, pushing together
And the guards to make sure that no man interferes
And I, alone, overlooking the nether
And I, alone, my anger choking back tears
Watch it go, fall into the shadow
My soul/toil a sacrifice to the blackened maw below
And all I know, swallowed into the shadow
Just an offering to the void; Just another stone to throw
Calloused hands guide chisel on stone for what feels like a lifetime
And the inlays carefully cloaked with silver and gold
And the mob that gathers outside, voracious with gall
All the while, they’re building the pile, awaiting the fall

Haze of the Battlefield
05:11
|
|||
Who is this, that I see before my eyes?
In the mist where the darkness never dies
A soul without a shell to call my home, will I wander evermore?
Forever lost in the fog of war
The chill of death will overtake me
Inside the haze my sanity begins to slip
Although the battle’s just a memory
The memory will not release me from its grip
I was there when it all came crashing down
A fatal charge when our blood baptised the ground
And where are all the souls who died that day, did they all just fade away?
Am I the only one who’s cursed to stay?
Where is the heaven that was promised
To all the men who were prepared to die that day?
Although my time is clearly over
The god of battle has commanded me to stay
Chained to this haze in memory’s maze
still I wander
There is no chance for peace, wait for release

There are fables, I’m told, of a
Curse’d tomb of memory - some make-believe
Yet the air’s turning cold, and I swear I hear them
Calling me…
Heavy haze steals my breath, the passage out I cannot see
Screaming, searching,
My heart is racing,
Trapped in a never-ending memory
Hear the echoes of war
Resounding forevermore
Hold on, don’t you fold
to the desolate cold
Escaping this maze
Breaking free from the haze
“Remain!” Demands
the phantom refrain
Illumination fading
My sanity degrading
The phantom hand reaching for my chest
Miasma chokes my breathing
Deaf from eternal screaming
The grief of souls never laid to rest
Screaming, searching
Consciousness breaking
Trapped in a horror that no man should see
Hear the echoes of war
Resounding forevermore
Enslaved and controlled
by the desolate cold
No escaping this maze
Disappear in the haze
Remain
I am forever enchained

Brothers of Cain
04:03
|
|||
Where are my manners? We haven’t been introduced!
I seem to have compelled the dungeon guard to cut us loose
And what a splendid party! You’re having so much fun!
It seems we made it right on time; the ball has just begun
No need to make a racket, and please stay in your seats
I promise to be swift; you see my men are quite discreet
Just a tiny favor, I don’t mean to be bold
But empty out your pockets ‘cause we’re taking all your gold!
Hush dear, for there is no reason to fear
If you’ll lend me your jewels and follow my rules
Soon we will all disappear
Last night we slept in chains
Tonight we drink champagne!
Sing to our fame! Remember our name!
We are the Brothers of Cain!
Now I know just what you’re thinking, let’s cut right to the chase
For if you take that sword out I will shoot you in the face!
There’s no need to be violent, no, that simply will not do!
Let’s all just keep our heads or else I’ll steal your women too!
We’re having such a blast! The time has quickly passed
I’d love to stay and party but I fear we’re fading fast
That lightly guarded galleon in the harbor should suffice
So thank you all, ‘twas quite a ball, and now we say goodnight!
Hush dear, you’ll notice I’m quite cavalier
Ask your man to sit still until I’ve had my fill
Of most of his flagon of beer
Last night we slept in chains
Tonight we toast our fame!
Remember our name, I’ll say it again,
We are the Brothers of Cain!
Tonight you’re bound and gagged,
Now raise the blackened flag!
Sing to our fame! Remember our name!
We are the brothers of cain!

Chains on Fire
04:48
|
|||
In the dragon's den
he found the ring of magic fire
and everything he touched
was consumed with his desire
flammable or not
the curse incinerates at will
with a hunger unrestrained
the firestorm
an evil conflagration
the burning steel
will break the seal
Woah, with the chains on fire
and the fires of metal will burn
Woah, with the chains on fire / we're the chains on fire
we're fighting our way with the chains on fire
As his power grew
the many kings tried to obtain
the secret of his blaze
to expand their own domain
with resounding force
the curse imprisoned now by chains
the warriors believed
the firestorm
the embers of cremation
the burning chains
all that remains
Woah, with the chains on fire
and the fires of metal will burn
Woah, with the chains on fire / we're the chains on fire
we're fighting our way with the chains on fire

It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

Comerciante de la Muerte
03:55
|
|||
De la penumbra y tinieblas nació
Santuario sólo en nombre es
Sirvientes del mal liberó y convocó
No habrá quien apague su furor.
De su prisión de piedra escapó,
Controló al rey, su reino arruinó
Fuerzas del mal
En la profundidad
Del sombrío abismo entran a nuestro hogar
Un mal renacido ahora tiene el control
Dios de destrucción, sus almas robó
Descenso a las sombras; aldeanos raptó
Sus almas manchó y consumió
El Diablo, demonio, ángel de perdición
Su justo castigo obtendrá.
De su prisión de piedra escapó,
Controló al rey, su reino arruinó
Fuerzas del mal
En la profundidad
Del sombrío abismo entran a nuestro hogar
Un mal renacido ahora tiene el control
Dios de destrucción, sus almas robó
Fuerzas del mal
En la profundidad
Del sombrío abismo entran a nuestro hogar
Un mal renacido ahora tiene el control
Dios de destrucción, sus almas robó

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (the glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (in the wind of change)

The Road
04:45
|
|||
Under the glow of the city lights
Contemplating the sacrifice
I lost my days but I kept my nights
My thoughts alone in my head
Locked and loaded, ready for the prowl
It's cougar season, the time is right
This wolf is ready to howl
No one ever said the road was easy
No one else can tell me how to live my life
I'd rather take my chances with the wasteland
Than put up day to day with all this strife
Friday or Monday it's all the same
Forgot how long I been playing my game
Everyone trying to pass the blame
No one stepping up
I will stand and fight
For what I feel is right
I've got an appetite
For standing in the spotlight
No one ever said the road was easy
You've gotta pay the toll when you hit the wall
Every night they try and push you higher
But all they wanna do is watch you fall
Fall, up against a wall
Thought you'd give it your all
But now you're forced to crawl
No one ever said the road was easy
No one else can tell me how to live my life
I'd rather take my chances with the wasteland
Than put up day to day with all this strife
No one ever said the road was easy
You've gotta pay the toll when you hit the wall
Every night they try to push you higher
But all they wanna do is watch you fall

Lords of the Trident Madison, Wisconsin
Lords of the Trident is the most METAL band on earth. Their metal's so pure that only diamonds can scratch it, and usually the diamonds are the ones that end up getting hurt in the end. Their amps are so loud, Manowar knocked on their door and asked them to "please turn down". ... more
