Knights of Dragon's Deep
04:34
|

To release the blizzard’s hold
we will quest into the cold
to pierce its frozen heart and halt the winter uncontrolled
Frostwyrm’s gaze
Darkened days
Fight to the eye of the storm
To defeat the serpent’s spell
we will trudge through icy hell
we will die before the beast can claim the lands we call our own
Though we may never return
our convictions still will burn
We have an oath that we shall keep; We are the knights of dragon’s deep
Passing through the fortress door
frozen dead upon the floor
Through the darkened halls and frozen walls we feel its wicked roar
Seeing out the dragon’s lair
Lesser men would never dare
Be swift and strike the heart before the beast takes to the air!
Into darkness we descend
fight until the bitter end
we will die before the beast can claim the lands we call our own
When we meet its piercing stare
Falling not into despair
We have an oath that we shall keep; We are the knights of dragon’s deep

Face of the Enemy
04:19

Had to save ‘em or they’d end up dead
instead I wake up in a hospital bed
I feel the pain
left from the fire
My face in bandages, skin feels tight
I got a feeling that something ain’t right
Hold back the scream
A stranger in the mirror
You gotta fight
Stay outta sight
Don’t you know that you’re a wanted man?
You gotta live
you can’t forgive
All you can give
Is a promise that you’ll find him as fast as you can
Under the knife
A soul against the technology
Fight for your life
You’ve got the face of the enemy
I know the face staring back at me
wanted for murder in the first degree
I hear the boots
walking down the hall
make my escape and the hunt begins
there’s out to find me; I’m out to find him
no alibi
it’s do or die
Under the knife
More than mistaken identity
Fight for your life
You’ve got the face of the enemy

Heart in the Fire

Come on!
So you say you’ve got a hot heart, huh, baby we’ll see
The lone wolf cries to the moon, and he knows that his time is soon
If there’s a way back to you, I’ll take it
For every golden rule, I’ll break it
There’s a fire in my soul, burning back to you
Take a chance, we’ll be together
You know that you’re the one for me, yeah!
(Hot heart) in the fire
(Don’t try) to temp/tame desire
(We’ll win) over death
You and I in our last breath
So you say you wanna play my game, is that your plea?
Well don’t you know that I write the rules, and baby listen, ain’t got time for fools
Every step you take, I’m waiting
And every you pass you fake, I’m hating
Every time you see right through me, and call my bluff
Take a chance, we’ll be together
You know that you’re the one for me, yeah!
You know you’ve got a hot heart!
In the fire!
You know you, you know you’ve got a hot heart!

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da
La di da, da di da, more than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
La di da, da di da, more than words (oh uh uh uh)
More than words

The Longest Journey
05:36
|
|||
|
Gather children, listen well
to the solemn legend I will tell
the balance strives to find a way to make things right
Although you do not trust in fate
Sometimes the stars manipulate
A hidden destiny, a charge you cannot fight
Do you believe?
The prophecy?
Woah,Take you on the longest journey
Woah, to the land inside your dreams
Woah, meet you on the longest journey
Woah, I’ll tell you the truth, sometimes the world’s not what it seems
A foreign shifter, far from home
And by the balance, she will roam
Across a dying realm that chaos will consume
Between the science and the spell
But which is heaven, which is hell?
Your hands will save our lives or they will seal our doom
Do you believe?
The prophecy?
Woah, We are on the longest journey
Woah, to bring balance to the lands
Woah, This is the longest journey
Woah, their fate is resting in your hands

The Metal Sea
05:42
|
|||
|
You’ve all heard the whispers,
and the tales men tell,
of a ship made of iron,
and a crew of the demons from hell
Sailing under the moonlight
striking fear wherever they might
if I told you their captain was I
you’d probably drop dead from fright
fight and die
is a motto tattooed to our skin
say goodbye
when you see the black flag with a grin
then the roar of the cannons begin
With a high, high, ho
With a high, high, hee
we’ll get drunk and we’ll pillage together
as we’re sailing the metal sea
With a high, high, ho
With a high, high, hee
The treasure is ours, forever
as we’re sailing the metal sea
We’ll keelhaul the traitors
in the dead of night
to send men to Davey Jones
is a prime delight
They will run from our cutlass
we’ll leave no soul be
So drop all your booty and run
it’s a guarantee
fight and die
is a motto tattooed to our skin
say goodbye
when you see the black flag with a grin
then the roar of the cannons begin
With a high, high, ho
With a high, high, hee
we’ll get drunk and we’ll pillage together
as we’re sailing the metal sea
With a high, high, ho
With a high, high, hee
The treasure is ours, forever
as we’re sailing the metal sea
Men! Lift up your swords!
And fight for the Lords!
We live, we fight, we die!
Men! Our treasure awaits!
So break down the gates!
When you see the black flag with a grin
Then the roar of the cannons begin!

Zero Hour
04:08
|

|
Cascading into the unknown
Now a soul ripped apart from my shell and my heart
I’m coming back but not alone
Hear the cries of the lost, paid the ultimate cost
to linger here, detached for far too long
The countdown starts
Reaching zero hour,
will I see you now?
across the dark, reaching out
Blindly I’m searching for you
The day they buried you away
When they severed the line was your soul left behind?
I was possessed; I had to know
Both bewitched and bereft, could I save what was left?
Attached the wires, dove in all alone
The countdown starts
Reaching zero hour,
will I see you now?
across the dark, reaching out
Screaming in silence I,
am torn apart
Almost zero hour
should I just let go
A sacrifice for your hand reaching mine
I don’t recall…
Is it worth returning after all?
I’m ready to fall
Reaching out, reaching out

Chasing Shadows
04:43
|
|||
|
Slings and arrows come
Wish to do me harm
Stand and shield away
With your shadow gone
Pierce’d by the dawn
Lost in disarray
Stand by my side, in the shelter you provide
With such a blinding light,
The darkness opened wide
You are falling from the sky
Burning light that blinds my eye
Fading far away, away
Chasing shadows from the past
Shine so bright you’d never last
Longing you to stay
As I watch you fade away
A restless mind possessed
Lamenting your distress
Ceasing to obey
Play the paragon
Forever soldier on
Bury the decay

Alone in Cole Hall
04:06
|

|
Yeah!
Baby baby, it’s been a long night
out on the road without you
I wanna hold you like the neck of my guitar
I will always be true
Don’t tell me there’s a wrong or a right
Cause I don’t know either one
All I’m going to say is that I’m going to put up a fight (fight!)
I will not be undone
You will know when the sandman comes
What this love, what this love becomes, yeah
Don’t worry at all
Cause I’m alone in Cole Hall
Baby don’t make me crawl
Cause I’m alone in Cole Hall
Baby baby, I long for your touch
longing to be by your side
Baby baby, I miss you so much
baby don’t you know that I tried
Lemme tell ya, there’s been sleepless nights
been a whole lot of pain
we’ve had our share, our share of fights, but
without you I’m not the same
And you will know, when the sandman comes
What this love, what this love becomes, yeah
Don’t worry at all
Cause I’m alone in Cole Hall
Baby don’t make me crawl
Cause I’m alone in Cole Hall

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, ho, ho
Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

Song of the Wind & Sea
05:45
|
|||
|
Depart from the frozen land
a strong back and sword in hand
Friggjarokkr bids farewell
score the souls we will send to hell
The sting of the icy spray
Haven’t seen land for days
Following Odin’s call
A quest to destroy them all
Men, to the oars!
A glorious death awaits!
sweat from the pores,
blood hunger it creates!
There are bards that will sing our name
there are riches we will claim
When the journey is at an end
they’ll be nothing to defend
The song of the wind and sea
The battle that the gods decree
Sharpening the hardened blade
No soul will survive the raid
Men, to the oars!
A glorious death awaits!
land on the shores,
ram right through the gates, we’re screaming
Row! Ragnarok is calling my name, and I’m screaming
Row! Slicing through the ocean, screaming
Row! Until the longboats hit the beaches I’m screaming
Row! Chased by the demon of death, but still screaming

Shattered Skies
05:20
|

|
In a time when the men lost the meaning of fear
From the top of the clouds where the spires appear
To the unyielding hand of the king, a message they bring
Walls are sinking down
For thousands years at the peak of the sky
The safeguard of kings and the falcons they fly
Had the gods disappeared? Or worse – a terrible curse?
Threatening the crown
Make haste to the sky! Destruction is nigh! We must not lose hope or our kingdom will die.
On thunder we sail, we search for a trail, with strength in our hearts we know we cannot fail
As we sail towards the top of the desolate hill
A body lies broken and utterly still
The horror reflects in our eyes – the falcon king lies
cold and lifeless
With a poisoned black arrow shot straight through his heart
This must be the work of the beasts of the dark
But surely the prince has survived? Was he captured alive?
No time left to guess
Make haste to the sky! Destruction is nigh! We must not lose hope or our kingdom will die.
To the lair of beasts, far away to the east, pursuing them until the prince is released
Far into the sky, On the northern winds we will fly
Following the beasts, Resolve until the curse is released
Woah, We will never give in, we fight to the end
Holding weapons high,
We are the warriors – the masters of the sky
We dive through the cursed breach
In the cold and the dark where the sun cannot reach
Surrounded by piercing stares
As I let loose my arrow I shall not despair
Returning to the sky, past the mighty spires we fly
With the prince released, now begins the era of peace
Woah, We never gave in, we fought to the end
Holding weapons high,
We are the warriors – the masters of the sky

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

Let There Be Nothing
by Judicator
supported by 9 fans who also own “Pull The Plug”
It reminds me of *good* Blind Guardian, which is one of my favorite bands (up to 2002) , so that alone would be enough. However, it would sell the band short to describe them just as "a band that sounds like BG". The album has some genuinely brilliant moments and the last song on the album, the s/t one, is one of my favorite songs of the past years, absolutely fantastic.
