Angra Lyrics Song

Carry On

Simple minded brain,
for now you succumb
Nothing changes your way
This worlds insists to be the same
based on our mistakes
The flowers fade along the road
Don't blindfold your eyes,
so loneliness becomes the law of a senseless life

Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...
Go!

Now we have to face another day
You won't be alone
This life is forcing us to stay
- For how long?
Cold is the wind and thunder struck on a stormy night
But can't you see, I'm by your side
We are marching on!

Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...

So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on

Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...

So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past

So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past

Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
The remains from the past, to carry on
The remains from the past...

Dragonforce Lyrics Song

Heroes Of Our Time

Lost in a dream
Finally it seems
Emptiness and everlasting maddness
See the sadness grow
Watching as we know
Long before our the journey for the world

Call for us
The power in all of us
So far beyond the blackened sky tonight

Glorius
Forevermore in us
We are victoriuos
And so alive

We'll all find our sacrafice tomorrow
Our journey on towards a brighter day
Silent tears we left behind still so far away
Across the endless sands through the fields of our despair
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah
Rise above the universe tonight
Starchaser

Fly towards the storm
See the world reborn
Feel the pain inside the voice of sorrow
Cross the distant shores
Find the open door
Stand alone in judgement for tomorrow

Years of pain still haunt us all
We saw the last sunrise
Take me home in freedom for a lifetime
Pray now for the silence and the last tears we'll cry
So glorious the fire inside

United we stand and we'll all find our sacrafice tomorrow
Our journey on towards a brighter day
Silent tears we left behind still so far away
Across the endless sands through the fields of our despair
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah
Rise above the universe tonight
Starchaser

Free from this world
Here for the last time
Oceans collide inside of us all
Believe who we are
The phoenix will guide us
Freedom will rise once again

Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us
Lightyears gone by, we're still holding on
Save us tonight
A star shines in all of us
Far beyond our lives
Still the glory lives on

And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow
Our journey on towards a brighter day
Silent tears we left behind still so far away
Across the endless sands to the fields of our despair
Here for all eternity we stand, yeah
Rise above the universe tonight
Starchaser
Starchaser

Our kingdom come, we stand as one
And we will live for always
Evermore

Nightwish Lyrics Song

Amaranth

Baptised with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself

War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time
we reach For the ones who ever dare

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Reachin', searchin' for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading callin'
Callin'...Callin'

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
[Rain]
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
[Hide]
In a land of the daybreak...day-Break!

Metallica Lyrics Song

Damage, Inc.

Dealing out the agony within
Charging hard and no one’s gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
Or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred our bodies work as one
Bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
Go against the grain until the end

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage incorporated
Slamming through, don’t fuck with razorback
Stepping out ? You’ll feel our hell on your backBlood follows blood and we make sure
Life ain’t for you and we’re the cure
Honest is my only excuse
Try to rob us it, but it’s no use
Steamroller action crushing allVictim is your name and you shall fall

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage incorporated
We chew and spit you out
We laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You’ll know where we come from

Damage incorporated

Damage jackals ripping right through you
Sight and smell of this, it gets me goin’
Know just how to get just what we want
Tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
Fuck it all and fucking no regretsNever happy ending on these dark sets
All’s fair for Damage Inc. You see
Step a little closer if you please

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage incorporated

HammerFall Lyrics Song

Legacy Of Kings

Out in the fields
the full moon is rising
Enlightens the name on our shields
blessed with pride

Steel on our side
we're horsemen of thunder
The ground starts to shake as we ride
side by side

Stormbringer led us into the unknown
On wings of glory we will carry on

Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

Deep in the night
we circle around them
The honor compels us to fight
all for one

All hewed with steel
in the toil of the battle
Our enemies fate will reveal
and be sealed

The chill of the wind keeps on calling our names
there's no turning back now, keep hold of the flame

Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

Now we are here
and there is nothing left to fear
The secrets of steel
the path of glory will reveal

Legacy Of Kings - LEGACY OF KINGS
forever to surrvive, we're
Riding on the winds - RIDING ON THE WINDS
unchained and free, alive forevermore

Helloween Lyrics Song

My Life For One More Day
[M: A. Deris, M. Grosskopf / Lyrics: A. Deris, M. Grosskopf]



Listen my teachers
Listen my preachers
Let the world know he broke out
Mankind has failed just to see
What was inevitably
Satan has taken
And hidden painstakin'
One of the seven of fate
Out of the sea he has buried it
Under the mountain of greed

Stone by stone
You must carry off
stone by stone
On and on
Untill the final blinding light shows
it's too late
Too late

There is a chance for everyone
Needs time but can be done
Fight the darkness
Don't be afraid my friends
The last key you have to find
And so will save mankind
Keep on trying when I give away

My life for one more day
My life for one more day
My life for hours you must find the way
My life for one more day

You, who will find it
You, who will bind it
And throw it back into the sea
Will be successor and follower
Of all my unowned might

Reckon with treason
For just one reason
Reckon with envy and hate
Too many people will always belive
In the sermon of night

Stone by stone
You must carry off
stone by stone
On and on
Untill the final blinding light shows
it's too late
Too late

There is a chance for everyone
Needs time but can be done
Fight the darkness
Don't be afraid my friends
The last key you have to find
And so will save mankind
Keep on trying when I give away

My life for one more day
My life for one more day
My life for hours you must find the way
My life for one more day

Now I must leave
Now I must leave
Banish the evil
Trust and believe
Trust that you need
Nothing but love

There is a chance for everyone
Needs time but can be done
Fight the darkness
Don't be afraid my friends
The last key you have to find
And so will save mankind
Keep on trying when I give away

My life for one more day
My life for one more day
My life for hours you must find the way
My life for one more day

Within Temptation Lyrics Song

Wish You Were Here


Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I've got feelings for you
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
I felt joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes
In yor eyes

Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every second's like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away

The snow is getting colder, baby
I Wish You Were Here
A battlefield of love and fear
And I Wish You Were Here

I've got feelings for you
From the first time I laid my eyes on you

Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue
