HammerFall Album

[by Bill Tsamis]

You made me see right past myself, well beyond
my fears, realized I'm synchronized, far beyond my years
I'm so geard unto them, I serve unto their souls
now that I'm addicted, my hunger only grows

I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go
rigging to the cross, as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned

Witches coven, the time has come for those sabbatical
years, revelation is the message, for all in all to hear
Prophets slayed, mankind arrayed into mass submission
evil's here, the lord of hell gives you the proposition

I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go
rigging to the cross, as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned

Give away your life goals, your meaning and ambition
it means nothing to you, after all it's superstition
Do not be afraid, the world is near the end
is it better to rule in hell, than it is to serve in heaven?

I'm a child of the damned, I follow where I go
rigging to the cross, as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned

Grey morning, dawn won the fight
Daylight drives away the night
Fog's rising out in the fields
The birth of winter is in sight

Dark shadows fall from the sky
They alight on gallows tree
black feathers, amber beaks
waiting for their deity

Leaves are spinning 'round
Lost and never found
When the king takes the crown

Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord - takes you far away

Sharp talons, pinions of ice
The obscure the new-born day
Hot breathing freezes to snow
piercing caws lead you astray

Leaves are spinning 'round
Lost and never found
When the king takes the crown

Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord -
Takes you far away

Leaves are spinning 'round
Lost and never found
When the king takes the crown

Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord -

Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord -
Takes you far away

Living in the shadows
Live a life of sins
Now you feel the pressure
There ain't no giving in
Do you ever wander
Do you ever think
What may lie beyond you
What's the missing link

Will you enter the paradise
Will you see the light
What is your destination
Your eyes will see - eternal dark

There ain't no use behaving
Life can never change
There ain't no book to guide you
You're desperate to the range
Why do you listen
To the holy man
Sage one will take you
The only one who can

Will you enter the paradise
Will you see the light
What is your destination
Your eyes will see - eternal dark

They came at dawn into the morning light
black shadows riding on the mist
Prepered for battle, swords were shining bright
filled with anger and harm
Came to kill not to charm
The sound of metal screaming in the air
the time has come were justice rules
The endless victims looking up in fear
Now, who are the fools
Oh, here they come, riders of the sun
And they will fight ...

[Original By Helloween]

From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see

[Bridge:]
So they keep talking and they never stop
And at a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear

[Bridge:]
But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
'cause I decide the way things gonna be

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

There's a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone

[Solo: Kai / Both]

No no no, leave me alone

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

[Original By Rainbow]

I’m a wheel, I’m a wheel
I can roll, I can feel
And you can’t stop me turning
’cause I’m the sun, I’m the sun
I can move, I can run
But you’ll never stop me burning

[*]
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone’s screaming my name
Come and make me holy again
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain

I’m the day, I’m the day
I can show you the way
And look I’m right beside you
I’m the night, I’m the night
I’m the dark and the light
With eyes that see inside you

[* x2]

Just look at me and listen
I’m the man, the man, give you my hand
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the man on the silver mountain
I’m the night the light
The black and the white
The man on the Silver Mountain

Late at night in the park
I saw her slipping in the dark
For heaven's sake, what's going on?
It's like someone is here

Got to follow now
Like being in trance for me
The silence here
More than all the noise

Whispering in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels every day, every night
Whispering in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels, oh yeah!

Down on my knees, God help me please
Gotta know who's out in the dark
I've stopped my breath, can feel the hands
Could hear the sound of people making love

I surrender right now!
I've to be touched
I feel so much...

Whispering in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels every day, every night
Whispering in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels, oh yeah!

Whispering in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels every day, every night
Whispering in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels every day, every night!

Head over heels, head over heels
Head over heels every day, every night
Head over heels, head over heels
Head over heels every day, every night!

Head over heels!

He has all the power
of darkness and night
making you believe
that evil's all right
there's a fire in his eyes
he can make you burn
from the dead
he'll make you return

sell your soul for gold
do as you are told

run with the devil
don't come to me
run with the devil
you can take me

filling you with dreams
promising the moon
making you believe
you'll get there very soon
offering you a life
of glory and gold
it's really in you
to hell I know you're sold

sell your soul for gold
do as you are told

run with the devil
don't come to me
run with the devil
you can take me

take him to your heart
and you'll lose your soul
it's tearing you apart
taking all control
dreaming of a lie
all you get is fear
agony and pain
your end is very near

sell your soul for gold
do as you are told

run with the devil
don't come to me
run with the devil
you can take me

We'll make it

Been fighting for so long don't know which way up is
Been stuck and ripped and burnt till it feels like nothin'
Our time will come and when it's over and it's done
Those fools are gonna know that we ain't bluffin'

We're gonna make it
We'll reach the top
We're gonna make it
And then we're never gonna stop

The power of the people ain't been showin'
It's never what you know, it's who you're knowin'
Sure it ain't right but as the saying goes it's might
That decides who stays behind and who'll be goin'

We're gonna make it
We'll reach the top
We're gonna make it
And then we're never gonna stop

We're gonna make it
We'll reach the top
We're gonna make it
And then we're never gonna stop

Alright, alright, we're gonna make it
Come on, boys, come on, boys
Ain't gonna stop until we drop
Oh, oh
Let it rock, let it roll
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Here we go, baby

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

You don't know what it's like

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law

There's never been any reason
or escape for the treason
You just think of a time far away
I feel your flame and your anguish
I know your plans and your last wish
You just can't face another day

Angel of Mercy, take her to your homeland
Angel of Mercy, you can feel the signs,
it's the End, it's the End

You've stood along the life line
You've played the fool for the last time
You just want the joy and the peace
You've heard all the laughter
You've seen what you're after
You just want the rest and the sleep

Angel of Mercy, take her to your homeland
Angel of Mercy, you can feel the signs,
it's the End, it's the End

Angel Of Mercy, Angel Of Mercy

[Lead: Stefan]

[Solo: Stefan]

You can hear the clock's tick
as you scheme for your last fix,
from a place you never will awake
I hear your cry into the night
I hear you die within my fright
But now you've saved your mistake

Angel Of Mercy...

Angel of Mercy, Angel of Mercy

[Solo: Stefan]

Out of the darkness, the voices are calling
Riding the wings of a song
The fury is screaming and Heaven is falling
I feel it coming on strong

The lightning, strikes cracking the night
It feels like never before
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I hear a rising force

Searching my soul, now I find something else
I take my life in my hands
Through the gates of Heaven to the altars of Hell
The power is at my command

The lightning strikes, cracking the night
I'm not the same anymore
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I feel a rising force

Burned by the glory of a sacred fire
The rising force starts to shine
A burning inferno, it soars ever higher
Leaving the demons behind

The lightning strikes, cracking the night
It feels like never before
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I feel a rising force

The lightning strikes, cracking the night
I'm not the same anymore
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I feel a rising force

I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Movin' fast, doin' 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

You come to see the show
Well, we're gonna rock and roll you
Come and get on your seat
We're gonna make you feel allright
Heay, you wanna go crazy tonight!

Let me hear you shout and scream

Jag blev fångad i ett mörker, jag såg inget ljus,
fast allt runt omkring stod i brand
i lågornas sken fanns mitt hopp och min tro,
som virvlade bort och försvann
så ge mig min styrka, ge mig kraft att försvara mitt land,
ge mig en väg, att gå, jag ser yxan i krigarens hand

vill ni att jag vänder om, och slåss för den jag är?
aldrig sviker jag mitt land, när vindarna viskar mitt namn
mitt namn...

och regnet som föll det fick dölja min sorg,
och släcka min brinnande törst
jag flydde till bergen, när gryningen kom,
men plötsligt jag hörde en röst,
vindarna viskar, jag hör hur de kallar mitt namn,
jag har en väg, att gå, jag ser yxan i krigarens hand

vill ni att jag vänder om, och slåss för den jag är?
aldrig sviker jag mitt land, när vindarna viskar mitt namn
mitt namn...

vindarna viskar, jag hör hur de kallar mitt namn
jag har en väg, att gå, jag ser yxan i krigarens hand

vill ni att jag vänder om, och slåss för den jag är?
aldrig sviker jag mitt land, när vindarna viskar mitt namn
när vindarna viskar mitt namn...

Thundering down, from the mountain you ride
Clutching a sword made of steel
The ones you call friends, they all left you for dead
Alone on the battlefield

Many were at your command
Renegade souls on the run
Holding each life in your hand
Living for all and for one

Shining, into the night you are riding
Through the darkness and light you are flying
With the wind in your hair
The flight of the warrior

Drunk with revenge from which on one can hide
Into their midst you will run
A face from the grave is the last thing they'll see
And die with your name on their tongues

Many were at your command
Renegade souls on the run
Holding each life in your hand
Living for all and for one

Shining, into the night you are riding
Through the darkness and light you are flying
With the wind in your hair
The flight of the warrior

Thundering down, from the mountain you ride
Clutching a sword made of steel
The ones you call friends, they all left you for dead
Alone on the battlefield

Many were at your command
Renegade souls on the run
Holding each life in your hand
Living for all and for one

Shining, into the night you are riding
Through the darkness and light you are flying
With the wind in your hair
The flight of the warrior

(Rollin'...)

Woah yeah...

Since I was born, they couldn't hold me down,
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town,
I never played by the rules and I never really cared,
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere.

Well I look and see it's not only me,
So many others, have stood where I stand,
We are the young (hey!) so raise your hands!

They call us problem child,
We spend our lives on trial,
We walk an endless mile,
(We are the youth gone wild!)
We stand and we won't fall,
We're one and one for all,
The writing's on the wall,
(We are the youth gone wild!)

My boss screamin' my ear 'bout who I'm s'posed to be,
"Get a three-piece Wall Street smile, and son you'll look just like me"
I said "Hey man, there's somethin' you oughta know, well I'll tell ya Park Avenue leads to (Skid Row)!!"

Well I look and see it's not only me,
We're standing tall, ain't never a doubt,
We are the young (hey!) so shout it out!

They call us problem child,
We spend our lives on trial,
We walk an endless mile,
(We are the youth gone wild!)
We stand and we won't fall,
We're one and one for all,
The writing's on the wall,
(We are the youth gone wild!)

Well lemme hear ya get wild!

[Guitar solo]

They call us problem child,
We spend our lives on trial,
We walk an endless mile,
(We are the youth gone wild!)
We stand and we won't fall,
We're one and one for all,
The writing's on the wall,
(We are the youth gone wild!)

Woah (Woah) Woah
(We are the youth gone wild!)
Woah (Woah) Woah
(We are the youth gone wild!)
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah
(We are the youth gone wild!)
Woah (Woah) Woah
(We are the youth gone wild!)
