Backlash - 2021 - Colossus - Call Of The Void

Death drive, lunatic, override

Creeping death, inching up my spine

Cold hands, seeking warm embrace

Dark deeds, finding ways

To replace now

All my senses shut down

I can feel it

Taking over

Fear has a way of making

Reckless, sober

Sanity made for the taking

Madness, closer

Trapped by a fatal design

Taking over

Fading to the passages of time

Inside, you contemplate suicide

Lights out, fighting for your life

Death toll, countless laid to waste

Untold horrors that

You face now

All my senses shut down

I can feel it

Taking over

Fear has a way of making

Reckless, sober

Sanity made for the taking

Madness, closer

Trapped by a fatal design

Taking over

Fading to the passages of time

Darkness, itself falls unto thee

Betrayer of souls, to help you see

Non-stop assault, no words nor space

One step, final fall

From grace now

All your senses shut down

Can’t you feel it

Taking over

Fear has a way of making

Reckless, sober

Sanity made for the taking

Madness, closer

Trapped by a fatal design

Taking over

Fading to the passages of time

WarKings - 2020 - Revenge - Azrael

We will fight and win

Fight and die

All that ever changes

The color of the sky

We will sell our soul

We are born to die

A blood-red cross

We will give our lives

Wind brings a whisper,

A silent melody

A poem of yearning

Will it set us free?

Marching on the desert sand

God by our side, steel in our hand

March against Jerusalem

We are born to die

Marching through our holy land

Deus lo vult, a sacred band

March across the burning sand

We are born to die

Azrael

We will stand and fight

Stand and fall

A holy crusade

For nothing at all

Blood on our blades

Blood on the cross

For our god

Everything is lost

What is Jerusalem worth

Nothing

Everything

I consider this song the golden meeting point of thrash, heavy, power and it's epic to the bone.

Here the sound it's better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvBnBsGhikg

OVERKILL - 1987 - Taking Over - In Union We Stand

From the islands to the cities, from the ports into the sea

We are strong, we will always be...

Blazing through the wreckage, burning all we see

The life we lead committed to be free...

Our union is a fortress, together we are bound

A common bound in freedom and in sound!

So raise your voices high for miles around to hear

Let them know we are drawing near...

~In union we stand~ as they blaze across the land

~In union~ we make a final stand...

A peaceful co-existence is dropping out of sight

So band together, together we will fight

Blasting the resistance, marching to the top

They started this, we say when it stops

Strike fear within their hearts, strike down those in your way

Let them know that we live today!

They throw us into flames, did not hear our cries

But now from the ashes we arise...

~In union we stand~ as they blaze across the land

~In union~ we make a final stand...

Power Trip - 2017 - Nightmare Logic - If Not Us Then Who

Get up,

Out of your cave and into the fire

Time’s short, this is our last resort

To get through to you, what have I got to do?

Who’s going to be the difference?

If not us,

Then who?

If not us, then who?

Sound off,

Take a look at your life, tell me to what do you aspire?

I want to know how far you’re willing to go

Can’t stop the force of ruin, this world will run through you

If not now, then when?

If not us, then who?

If not us, then who?

Shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Like a shadow on the wall!

Treat me like a prisoner,

Treat me like a fool.

Treat me like a loser,

Use me as a tool.

Face me 'til I'm hungry,

Push me in the cold.

Treat me like a criminal,

Just a shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Like a shadow on the wall!

Treat me like I'm evil,

Freeze me 'til I'm cold.

Beat me 'til I'm feeble,

Grab me 'til I'm old.

Fry me 'til I'm tired,

Push me 'til I fall.

Treat me like a criminal,

Just a shadow on the wall!

Shadow on the wall!

Accept - 1980 - I'm A Rebel - I'm A Rebel

They say I won't make it to the top of the hill

Won't take the fruit off the tree

And ev'rybody says I'm out for the kill

They're all laughing at me

They're all laughing at me

I'm A Rebel - rebel - don't you just know it

I'm A Rebel - rebel

And they're all laughing at me

They say I'm a danger to the public and all

I only wish they would see

I'm just the product of a screwed up world - but they're all

They're all laughing at me

But they're all laughing at me

I'm A Rebel - rebel - don't you just know it

I'm A Rebel - rebel - don't you just know it

But' they're all laughing at me

Never ever was my old blue jeans

And brush the smile off my face

But still I'm a member of the

Skyclad - 1991 - WayWard Sons Of Mother Earth - The WidderShins Jig

A wise man's son and Wednesday's child in each other found a friend,

And searched together for the treasure hiding at the rainbow's end.

To wise man's son and Wednesday's child all is white that is not black,

They dance in symbiotic deadlock--one step forward two steps back,

Playing karmic snakes and ladders (all your sins will find you out),

When all your gains are lost in vain on cosmic wings and roundabouts.

At the roadside manhood's flower--blighted by a wayward youth,

Has cast its seed on well-worn pathways--borne on winds of whispered truth.

We march to drums of our own choosing--each of them keeps different time,

As you are free to Live your own life so I am free to Live mine.

Now wise man's son and Wednesday's child can recognise their own mistakes,

And to these ends they make amends for every promise that they break.

Both wise man's son and Wednesday's child view the world in red and green,

Await the day when they die laughing--thinking of the sights they've seen.

I tell you now if they were given chance to Live their Lives again--

Wise man's son and Wednesday's child would make the same mistakes as then.

At the roadside manhood's flower--blighted by a wayward youth,

Has cast its seed on well-worn pathways--borne on winds of whispered truth.

We march to drums of our own choosing--each of them keeps different time,

As you are free to Live your own life so I am free to Live mine.

Nemhain - 2010 - From The Ashes - Second Skin

I've thought about it a million times

It takes all my strength just to keep it calm

I hove to tell myself, just let it breathe

holding it inside will only help to do me in

Each time I close my eyes I see another chain

It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of

I need a second skin, something to hold me up

can't seem to get out of this hole

I've dug myself right back in

Just to wake up tells me I must be brave

It hits me like a drug shot into my vein

It's not as delightful of a pain

immobilizing me

almost makes me think I'm dead

I need a second skin

something to hold me tough

can't do it on my own

sometimes I need just a little more help

I want that chance to give every drop that's left in me

I need a second skin

something I can not break out of

I tell myself, just let it breathe

It's a calmness I'm always searching for

But the dirt it gets so heavy

it falls above my head

seeping from under my feet

it just keeps on getting deeper

I need a second skin

something to hold me tough

can't do it on my own

sometimes I need just a little more help

I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me

I need a second skin

something I cannot break free of

Though no one ever said it/d be easy

Still one's left to deny the choice that comes

between your willingness to survive

Though you're knowing what you stand up against

a world set to deceive

You need a special strength

I've got that second skin

I've got that chance to give

I've got the only way that I know how to live with it

I need a second skin

something to hold me tough

I need a second skin

something I cannot break out of

Scorpions - 1988 - Savage Amusement - Rhythm Of Love

Let's spend the night together

I know you want it too

The magic of the moment

Is what I've got for you

The heartbeat of this night

Is made to lose control

And there is something in your eyes

That's longing for some more

Let us find together

The beat we're looking for

The Rhythm Of Love

Keeps me dancing on the road

The Rhythm Of Love

Got the groove that hits the bone

The Rhythm Of Love

Is the game I'm looking for

The Rhythm Of Love

Is the heartbeat of my soul

Let's reach the top together

One night will never do

An exploding shot of pleasure

Is what I've got for you

Why don't you close your eyes

And let your feeling grow

I make you feel the taste of life

Until your love will flow

Let us find together

The beat we're longing for

The Rhythm Of Love

Keeps me dancing on the road

The Rhythm Of Love

Got the groove that hits the bone

The ryhthm of love

Is the game I'm looking for

The Rhythm Of Love

Is the heartbeat of my soul

Let us find together

The beat we're looking for

MoonSpell - 1995 - WolfHeart - Vampiria

Vampiria, you are my destiny

My only Love and true destiny

Vampiria...

You're a beast, evil one

Above your head lays a Star

In your heart is buried the jewel

Of a Serpent who wished to die

Your red long tongue has her poison

And you will spread it as you breed

In unique transylvanian ream

Conceiving the creed of all creeds

Vampiria, fly Vampiria

In your eye burn, defying

All those who in silence sleep

In a city once named Desire

Dreaming with the entombed dear

The lady has fallen in a blossom

Spread far away by undesirable winds

To females conspiring in gloom

Hiding your pearls from the pigs

So open your arms!

They were shaped as wings

A serenade of revenge draw on your lips

The sombre hill you're staying in

Is now defined

And your Star had start to shine

Depart now on your bright wings

The world envy

The skies have always seduced you

Precious Queen

And you know your time has come

To fly away with Me, so far...

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refused to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

Oh yes I know it

(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby

(Yeah!) Every night and day

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place

We gotta get out of this place

'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true, yeah

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Believe me baby

I know it baby

RainBow - 1975 - RainBow - 16th Century GreenSleeves

It's only been an hour

Since he locked her in the tower

The time has come

He must be undone

By the morning

Many times before

The tyrant's opened up the door

Then someone cries

Still we close our eyes

Not again

Meet me when the sun is in the western skies

The fighting must begin before another someone dies

Cross bows in the fire light

Green sleeves waving

Madmen raving

Through the shattered night

Yeah yeah yeah

Flames are getting higher

Make it leap unto the spire

Draw bridge down

Cut it to the ground

We shall dance around the fire

No more night

We have seen the light

Let it shine on bright

Hang him higher, higher

Draw bridge down

Cut it to the ground

We shall dance all around the fire, around the fire

No more night

we've seen the light

let it shine on bright

Hang him higher, higher

Put the man on the fire

Draw bridge down

Cut it to the ground

We gotta dance around the fire, the fire, the fire

MetallicA - 1991 - MetallicA - Don't Tread On Me [4:00]

Lyrics: James Hetfield

Music: James Hetfield/Lars Ulrich

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail

Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail

Never begins it, never, but once engaged...

Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Don't Tread On Me

So be it

Threaten no more

To secure peace is to prepare for war

So be it

Settle the score

Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

Don't Tread On Me

Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite

Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike

Shining with brightness, always on surveillance

The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Don't Tread On Me

So be it

Threaten no more

To secure peace is to prepare for war

So be it

Settle the score

Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

Don't Tread On Me

So be it

Threaten no more

To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail

Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

So be it

Threaten no more

To secure peace is to prepare for war

So be it

Settle the score

Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

Don't Tread On Me

You could find a way to ease my passion

You listen to the blood flow in my veins

You hear the teaching of the wind

Tell her why I'm alive within

I can't find the words

My mind is dead

It's better by you better than me

Guess you'll have to tell her how I tried

To speak up thoughts I've held so inside

Tell her now I got to go

Out in the streets and down the shore

Tell her the world's not much living for

It's better by you better than me

Everybody

Everybody knows

Everybody

Everybody knows

Better by you better than me

You can tell what I want it to be

You can say what I only can see

It's better by you better than me

Guess I'll have to change my way of living

Don't wanna really know the way I feel

Guess I'll learn to fight and kill

Tell her not to wait until

They'll find my blood upon her windowsill

It's better by you better than me

Everybody

Everybody knows

Everybody

Everybody knows

Better by you better than me

You can say what I only can see

You can tell what I want it to be

It's better by you better than me

Better by you better than me

You can tell what I want it to be

You can say way all they can see

Better by you better than me

ICED EARTH - 1999 - Alive In Athens I - Slave To The Dark

ICED EARTH - 1996 - THE Dark Saga - Slave To The Dark

A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds

One of which the new me hates and the one that's coming true

The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze

But am I really in control or am I just a slave

I called upon this god to deliver unto me

To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees

He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies

Ask and I received damnation was the price

I signed my name in blood, didn't read the fine prints

Now I'm just a puppet god for the devils own descent

Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave

Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away

[Chorus]

All at once it's clear to me

Damnation and destiny

A slave to darkness shall I be

Damnation and destiny

And so I must repent or will I be destroyed

Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie

And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul

Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son

[Repeat Chorus]

Beware! A coup it's going on right now! Anarchists of Japan holding their flag upside down have taken on all critical positions. In the government, in the army, everywhere on the web!

Hypocrisy - 2004 - The Arrival - Dead Sky Dawning

I woke up screaming from a nightmare

That seemed so real

A horrified vision of the skyline

Covered up in steel

I stumble outside, everything around me had changed

I could not believe my eyes

I stare into a world rearranged

My heart was pounding faster

Am I awake or still in a dream

The vision of final disaster

The vision of empty streams?

[Chorus]

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

A lethal encounter of the first degree

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

No mercy for you, No mercy for me

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

A lethal encounter of the first degree

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

It's the end for you, It's the end for me

The world is silent

Only the life from above can be seen

Mercy comes and blinded me

All fates creates and within for me

It' s not of this world

Our senses disappears

Something within me tells me

It's the end of humanity

My heart was pounding faster

Am I awake or still in a dream

The vision of final disaster

The vision of empty streams

Released from this nightmare

Let me wake up to find the world I knew

But then I see the things that surround me

I realize we are the chosen few

[Chorus]

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

A lethal encounter of the first degree

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

No mercy for you, No mercy for me

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

A lethal encounter of the first degree

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

It's the end for you, It's the end for me

It's the end for me

They've come to take me away

Remembered as their prey

The execution right now taking flight

[Chorus]

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

A lethal encounter of the first degree

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

No mercy for y ou, No mercy for me

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

A lethal encounter of the first degree

I see a Dead Sky Dawning

No mercy for you, no mercy for me!
