Warrior

You've got a feelin' you cannot shake You know that something ain't right You know the hours you stay awake Your demons keep you up late at night Disturbing thoughts swim around your head You say you're fine but you're not Don't wait too long or you'll wind up dead Too late to fix the things you forgot Don't you wait, you might not get another try It's too late when all that's left to do is cry You put your nose to the grindstone They'll even make you the boss No matter how much you finally earn You cannot buy the things that you lost You stand atop of your lonely hill You burn the bridges you cross Though you have money that you can burn You never really thought of the cost Don't you wait, you might not get another try It's too late when all that's left to do is cry Do it now, you might not get another try It's too late when all that's left to do is die And say your final good-byes The time will come when you're looking back And all the things you thought that would matter Kept you away from the ones that you love And life is growing shorter and sadder Don't you wait, you might not get another try It's too late when all that's left to do is cry Do it now, you might not get another try It's too late when all that's left to do is die And say your final good-byes

I see the moonlight, it's coming through the glass To find a prisoner in chains I hear the wind howl, my heart is beating fast I hear it calling my name Don't cry, don't scream Don't waste your breath This life, this place This will not be my end Not even love, not even love Nothing can stop my escape All we have done, all we have made All this and more I forsake This place I find myself, this prison I have made Has torn away half my soul My blood is boiling, my mind is racing now I think it's time I should go Don't cry, don't scream Don't waste your breath This life, this place This will not be my end Not even love, not even love Nothing can stop my escape All we have done, all we have made All this and more I forsake You let your dreams slowly fade over time One thing you know about me Right from the day you met me I will not let go of mine The visions in my head, the whispers in my ear The muses call me away I see you pleading now, I hear you fall apart There's nothing more I can say Don't cry, don't scream, don't waste your breath This life, this place, this cannot be my end Oh, woe, Oh, not even love Oh, woe, Oh, not even love You thought you had it all You thought that we were safe You thought this time it would last I had no way to know that they would call on me I must return to my past You watched your dreams slowly fade over time One thing you know about me Right from the day you met me I do not let go of mine Not even love, not even love Nothing can stop my escape All that we've done, all that we've made All this and more I forsake Not even love, not even love Nothing can stop me this time Not even love, not even love Nothing can stop me this time Not even love!

So, listen Something that the wise man has to say This wisdom, carry with you to your final day I am persistent pain I am the ache you always feel And in this twisted game I am the secrets that are real When lies go in, then lies come out You have been programmed from your youth You think you know what it's about But trust me when I tell you You know nothing 'til you come to know the truth I am the nagging voice It's never quiet in your head I am your only choice But you'll deny it 'nil your dead When lies go in, then lies come out It's all you have to work with 'til you see You think you know what it's about But only truth will set you free Cling to your fantasies, cling to your ignorance Cling to your past with defiance I am the measurable, I am predictable I am reliable science I am the thing you fear That changes all that you believe Embrace the truth It's clear, then you'll no longer be deceived When lies go in, then lies come out You should be careful what you say You think you know what it's about The world will be a better place When you believe that there's a better way

My guns will blaze till my dying days I got no strings attached I ain't looking back I'll call the dogs of war it's what they're waiting for Cause in the land of snakes they can smell the fakes I ride a big v twin and led a life of sin I've been from shore to shore And bed a thousand whores I healed the hounds of hell and their king as well I wear a crown of thorns And I've been beaten and scorned It's a hellride last time I wear a big gold cross cause my man's the boss He hung for three long days on the cross you made He said my time is short and all the world will see I'll turn the water to wine and part the sea On my way thru hell I cross the river Styx There's a sign ahead its says remember this Leave every hope be it small or great These words of color written above the gate Last time for this hellride It's only life bringing me down

I was a warrior, I fought the Heavy Metal Wars Until the Grunge King came And shut my heavy metal doors I made my sacrifice to Chrysalis and Mercury But all the gods and muses turned their backs on me Dedicated warriors, we fought the valiant fight A gifted band of men-at-arms We plied our craft each night We opened up our lives to effort, sweat, and song What evil trickery occurred to make it go so wrong? How did it go wrong? Like lightning out of the blue The world was suddenly done with us No reason left to be true And I lost my faith, my soul, my hope, my trust I left my brothers and I ventured off alone Living like a vagabond with nothing like a home I was a mercenary in the service of a lie They soldiered on without me I was too far gone to try Like lightning out of the blue There comes a message across the sea A throng of faithful still true And the raven says they might have need of me It's a terrible thing, when the thing that you love Is becoming a thing of the past But the wise men all say: "Everything that was gone will be coming around, one more time, again at last!" From as far away as Europe, we have heard the cry It seems their love for what we did then It never really died I see my brothers coming Axes gleaming, tuned and true Once more, I hear the drum beat And I find my way to you Like lightning out of the blue Our resurrection is loud and clear You hear us calling for you Though I died, I'm alive, and judgement day is here Like lightning out of the blue... (I am a warrior) Like lightning out of the blue... Like lightning out of the blue... (I am a warrior) Like lightning out of the blue... Like lightning out of the blue... (I am a warrior) Like lightning out of the blue... Like lightning out of the blue... (I am a warrior) Like lightning out of the blue... I was a warrior, I fought the Heavy Metal Wars I was a warrior!

The first time it happened, oh man, I was young The second time 'round, I had hoped it was love But just like the sound that goes thud in the night My feelings grew distant and far out of sight Oh, the third time, it happens The third time's a charm Oh, that's what they tell you my son... my son Ignoring convention, I did things my way With luck due to show, I was ready to play Lost twice on the red, doubled down on the black The third time's the charm, I can get it all back Oh, the third time it happens The third time's a charm Oh, the third time it happens The third time's a charm The third time it happens The third time's a charm The third time it happens The third time... One is the loneliest number, they say Two is so perfect in every way The third time's the charm, it's the merciful one Turns certain defeat into victory won! I see no cause to believe those who say That my faith in good fortune risks everything else (Just wait and see...) I never knew that the way that I live Left you doubting my appreciation for you (Just wait and see...) I took your silence for quiet consent It was never my hope or intent to deceive (Just wait and see...) My superstitions make fortune less fickle When life's unpredictable, and I need to believe Oh, the third time it happens The third time's a charm Oh, that's what they tell you, my son Oh, the third time it happens The third time's a charm Oh, that's what they tell you, my son!

At this bridge gathered All these men battered Ev'ry hope shattered As this bridge ceased to be On the eve before On the Eastern shore Opened Heaven's door With a sign from the King He sees - He needs - Believe In this life squandered On this earth wandered For this cross honored In this sign conquer Though the plans were made Though the trap was laid When the hand was played It was not meant to be One man sought advice One man paid the price Looking to the skies Gets the sign that he needs He sees - Believe - In me! In this life squandered On this earth wandered For this cross honored In this sign conquer In this sign In this sign In this sign In this sign

I heard noise in the streets They were gnashing their teeth They were swearing and cursing And smacking their fists off the ground They were mad as could be 'Cause the man on TV Said the taxes were going up And the wages down And they've had enough And they're out for blood When times get tough They're out for blood They were snapping the bones In the pockets and zones From the minute the whistle blew To the closing gun They don't need any reason It's the end of the season And the second best Must now face number one And they show their stuff And they're out for blood It's getting rough And they're out for blood We're the children you raised And you taught us to pray And you washed us And dressed us And fed us And kept us warm Now the starving oppressed Look to us in the west But we just turn our heads And pretend they were never born But they do exist And they're out for blood They're pretty pissed And they're out for blood Muzzles flashing, chaos crashing Suicide attacks, they're out for blood Bridges burning, world keeps turning Better watch your back They're out for blood

I remember the times in my life When the rain would come down Colder than ice Casting a chill on the embers that once were a fire Now it took me a while to learn If you want to have fire You need something to burn I was starving for fuel and the tools To fulfil my desires I remember my days as a child It was magical then It was life, undefiled And I wish I could live in that fantasy All of the while But reality won't let you go Gets a grip on the young Drains you dry as you grow 'Til you're only slave with name and a digital file Well, I guess I had known right from the start There was something inside me that set me apart There's a reason I never found comfort As part of the crowd For a difficult time I lived ev'ry day Loathing myself 'tit I learned how to play And my life found new meaning The day that I turned it up... loud! Oh, it's not like it came without warning There's no mistaking the change When life goes from typically boring To suddenly never the same Bring on the lights, bring on the thunder Let them shake down the walls I have made Bring on the sound The spell I am under Has me feeling the new life That hammers its way through my veins Oh, it's not like it comes without trying You've got to work ev'ry day But now that you know why you're trying Don't let them stand in your way You are the light, you are the thunder Let us tear down the walls they have made Leave them in awe, leave them to wonder Show them the spoils of passion that never will fade You will know when you find it It will open your eyes Follow the signs And don't give up on the prize Don't give up - Don't give up on the prize Don't give up - Don't give up on the prize Don't give up - Never give up on the prize Don't give up - Don't you give up on it Don't give up - Never give up on it Don't give up - Don't you give up on it Don't give up - Never give up on the prize!
