I have walked about a million miles, Step by step into the haze. To notice it it took a while That circles where the ways I made. Is it far too late? Changing my own fate. A million voices telling me: "Tomorrow is a different day. Our concept is to do the same, The opposite of yesterday". Let me get away. [Chorus:] At the speed of light I fly I'm one step away. Seconds turn days into nights And I am on my way. At the speed of light I fly Aeons passing by. All believers still alive At speed of light they fly. A cave, narrow walls surrounding me. This is just a place to die. Although sometimes one gets to see Shiny lightnings passing by At the speed of light, Breaking through the night. A million voices telling me Nonsense I should listen to. There's better life beyond these walls, And now I know what to do: I will get away. End what was there, what has been. Break the silence. Tell me about what you hold inside. See what is here, what will be. Be inspired. Take off to fly to a better life. [Chorus] Flying at the speed of light The speed of life is quickly passing by. Still it's all the same. Flying at the speed of light The speed of life is quickly passing by. I'm here to remain. [x2] [Solo] End what was there, what has been. Break the silence. Tell me about what you hold inside. See what is here, what will be. Be inspired. Take off to fly to a better life. [Chorus]

Manowar Manowar living on the road When we're in town speakers explode We don't attract wimps cause we're too loud Just true metal people that's Manowars crowd They wanna keep us down But they can't last When we get up We're gonna kick your ass Gonna keep on burning We always will Other bands play - Manowar kill Other bands play - Manowar kill We like it hard, we like it fast We got the biggest amps, man they blast True metal people wanna rock not pose Wearin' jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes They wanna keep us down But they can't last When we get up We're gonna kick your ass Gonna keep on burning We always will Other bands play - Manowar kill Other bands play - Manowar kill We're the kings of metal comin' to town When we light up have the roof nailed down Don't try to tell us that we're too loud Cause there ain't no way that we'll ever turn down They wanna keep us down But they can't last When we get up We're gonna kick your ass Gonna keep on burning We always will Other bands play - Manowar kill Other bands play - Manowar kill

Now I admit what is obvious: this is no place to stay. (Ahhh!!) Though I know all that's behind and nothing before me. (Ohhh!!) I must move on, I'm a roamer, a wanderer on his way. (Ohhh!!) How come my feet just won't follow the road that was chosen for me. On stormwinds I'm riding, there's no sense in hiding. There's no doubt at all, the last wall will fall. And now that I can see I am way before me. I'll fly just to follow the call. [Chorus:] This is the way, (I am the pathfinder) The very next step leads me straight to the core. At the end of the day, (I am the pathfinder) Still roaming on that's what pathfinders (are) for. (OhhhhOhhhh!!!) Ten years of trying to fly have proven the strength in me. (Ahhh!!) Not one single time was I able to lift off the ground. (Yeah!!) Now I fly higher and faster because I believe in me. (Ohhh!!) My black wings are beating and filling the air with a symphonic sound. On stormwings I'm riding, there's no sense in hiding. There's no doubt at all, the last wall will fall. And now that I can see I am way before me. I'll fly just to follow the cal. [Chorus x2] [Solo/Riffs] [Chorus x3] (OhhhOhhhOhhh!!)

Master! Apprentice! Heartborne, 7th Seeker Warrior! Disciple! In me the Wishmaster Elbereth Lorien A dreamy-eyed child staring into night On a journey to storyteller`s mind Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in him Distant sigh from a lonely heart "I`ll be with you soon, my Shalafi" Grey Havens my destiny Master!... Silvara Starbreeze Sla-Mori the one known only by Him To august realms, the sorcery within If you hear the call of arcane lore, Your world shall rest on Earth no more A maiden elf calling with her cunning song "Meet me at the Inn of Last Home" Heartborne will find the way! Master!... Wishmaster Crusade for Your will A child, dreamfinder The Apprentice becoming... Master!...

Now you all know the bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away we may meet again But now hear my song about the dawn of the night Let's sing the bard's song Tomorrow will take us away far from home No one will ever know our names But the bard's songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away, a feel of today It will be gone due to our magic songs There's only one song left in my mind Tales of a brave man who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over and it's time to leave No one should ask you for the name of the one who tells the story Tomorrow will take us away far from home No one will ever know our names But the bard's songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known and you're not alone So don't be afraid in the dark and cold But the bard's songs will remain, they all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarfs and men And elves come close your eyes You can see them, too

This is the quest for roar... The quest for roar... At the end of the day we are what we are. Still carrying the name they gave to us. But nevertheless we're feeling a change. A thousand voices inside are screaming out loud. We beg for every one to return a shout. The course of time, now rearranged. We are all but lost forever. Our short time here will never last. At least we know what we are living for. [Chorus:] This is the quest for roar. The quest for more. It is the quest for metal we're fighting for. From deep within with all our hearts. We're fighting for the quest for roar. From this very day on we will remain. And we will refuse to disappear again. In every blast of the storm we're spelling our name. We are all but lost forever. Our short time will never ever last. At least we know what we are living for. [Chorus] It's not our aim to hum, to aspirate, to perish tardily. It is our goal to be, and to become, and to rise constantly. [Chorus x2]

Comin' out of nowhere Drivin' like rain Stormbringer dance On the thunder again Dark cloud gathering Breaking the day No point running 'Cause it's coming your way Ride the rainbow Crack the sky Stormbringer coming Time to die Got to keep running Stormbringer coming He's got nothing you need He's gonna make you bleed Rainbow shaker On a stallion twister Bareback rider On the eye of the sky Stormbringer coming down Meaning to stay Thunder and lightning Heading your way Ride the rainbow Crack the sky Stormbringer coming Time to die Got to keep running Stormbringer coming He's got nothing you need He's gonna make you bleed Coming out of nowhere Drivin' like a-rain Stormbringer dance On the thunder again Dark cloud gathering Breaking the day No point running 'Cause it's coming your way

"Faith and creed and my belief Will make you carry on these wings of trust. You will fly away. Just hold on and you'll succeed. Remember you're the [one] One Day one will speak of you As the light of day." Only my thoughts will remain. Nothing that ever took place will smut my name. I will start over again . I fly with teardrops in my eyes... will I ever return to places I have been? [Chorus:] I take to the sky. I look back from high above. I am on target For something beyond. I take to the sky. Still grounded on Mother Earth. Thankful for strong wings to fly. I will take to the sky. I can ensure you that I will always keep you in my heart until I die. Nothing will part us again. I fly with teardrops in my eyes. Will I ever return to places I have been? For years and years I tried. I'll finally arrive. Thunderous the winds will blare my name. [Chorus] [Solo] "Faith and creed and my belief will make you carry on these wings of trust. You will fly away. Just hold on and you'll succeed. Remember you're the (one) one Day one will speak of you As the light of day" [Chorus x2] "One day one will speak of you As the light of day"

I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night, or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark ,Fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, Fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you. Fear of the dark ,Fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, Fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around, and no-one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there. Fear of the dark ,Fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, Fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklore The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind. Fear of the dark ,Fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, Fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone

(Hero!! Hero!!) Cold sweat dreaming... Am I awake? I feel drained... With fevered screaming... My thoughts they break I am pained... Lights are flickering down the wall My eyes they burn. An angel's voice then starts to talk Hypnotised my head I turn. I have started many miles away to find our hero and finally lead him astray. [Chorus:] Oh, is it me they call hero? Oh, is it me they await? Oh, is it me they call hero? Heroes are there to change fate. Wheezing winds slit my ears, It's hard to breath... My eyes they water, My eyelids hurt. It's hard to see... Try to figure out the way I am flying... What's this journey all about? Again the angel heaves a sigh. I started many miles away To find the hero and finally lead him astray. [Chorus] [Solo] Yeah, it is me they call hero Yeah, it is me they await Yeah, it is me they call hero Heroes are there to change fate. [x2]

[This song is a cover from Metallica's Master of Puppets] Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay [Chorus:] Smashing through the boundaries lunacy has found me cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression turns into obsession cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity [Chorus] Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry We create the Battery [Chorus]

Thirst is slowly crawling Through roads of life Awaiting someone who will hear A call for resurrection In heartless times Waiting for someone who will Undo the fear Please surrender my fate Give me more pleasant days There is nothing to focus my eyes on until Rain falls on white scattered grounds Mirroring the light breaking through every cloud Thirst will vanish Healing, feeding, breathing life Rain falls on white scattered grounds Bring us back to life Thoughts of water seen Like distant memories I don´t remember where I´m from Cannot live in this world This is what I know Something inside me is Pushing me on and on

For years and years we waited and now the time has come to leave these barren lands towards (new) horizons. No matter what has happened and what was said or done. Words are to be to forgotten. We will roam on! We cross the gates of darkness into the black of night. We don’t fear anybody: (we) got the second sight. We move a little further towards the borderline. Before the dawn of day our souls come back to life. And life comes back again. The mission’s to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again. The mission’s to fight to be free again. They held us down for so long our backs against the wall we didn’t see a future, did not hear the call. But now that things have changed now that our fears are small we create a vision (and we) face it - one for all. We cross the gates of darkness into the black of night. We don’t fear anybody: (we) got the second sight. We move a little further towards the borderline. Before the dawn of day our souls come back to life. And all I see, in front of me. Every step I take is bringing me closer to me! All that we are is everything we’ve ever been. And what we’ll be is what we are.
