Highway Head

Sitting there beside me
I felt your fingers yearn
As your eyes turned into embers
And your lips began to burn
Said you needed one thing
One more for the road
The way I saw you walk to my car
I couldn't believe that you wanted more
I’ve still got love to give
And if i died I could say I lived
How can I say no
I’ll keep my hands on the wheel
Just keep your head down real low
When she told me she likes it when I drive
Didn’t know this was on her mind
I’m riding hard tonight
Racing right across the edge of death
Know I will never forget
How the road went straight to her head
Never thought she’d give me highway head
Just keep your mind on me baby
I’ll keep my eyes on the road
I’m driving fast enough for us both
You can take it slow
Such a wild sensation
Keeps me driving miles and miles
You’re looking like a good girl
While you’re acting like the devil’s child
You’re gonna take me there
Run my fingers through your hair
I’m gonna give you what you’re asking for
This must be the reason why my car’s got cruise control
She’s holding nothing back
Going down till I can’t last
Long as we’re moving fast
Racing right across the edge of death
Know that I’ll never forget
How the road went straight to her head
Her head, her highway head
When she told me she likes it when I drive
Didn’t know this was on her mind
I’m riding hard tonight
Racing she’s holding nothing back
Going down till I can’t last
This girl’s not one I’ll forget
Her highway head, her highway head
Never thought she’d give highway head

Heavy Metal Road
03:25
|
|||
|
The engines roar, warriors riding burning wheels
Their lust for war never will be brought to heel
An endless road going on and on
Their tales are told by sweat and song
Treading the path laid in the days of old
Relentless warband riding on
Heavy Metal Road
Living so proud, can’t slow down and never will
A rebel crowd, drums of thunder, strings of steel
Treading the path laid in the days of old
Relentless warband riding on
Heavy Metal Road
Metal endures, it’s music made for all the strong
If you want war you’re bound to find them riding out on
Heavy Metal Road
Heavy Metal Road
Treading the path laid in the days of old
Not looking back, there’s still a long way left to go
The hammer strikes, thunder cracks and lightning bolts
Relentless warband riding on
Heavy Metal Road

The Chariot
06:05
|

|
Thor is riding, thunder cracks the sky
The ettin slayer’s sign
His holy Hammer forged in Svartalfheim
Smashes bones and flashes light
The Thunderer rides tonight
The Chariot carries him high
Straight to the fight
Taking them on all alone
Sons of Ymir marching on attack
He looks them in their eyes and laughs
The Thunderer rides tonight
The Chariot carries him high
Straight to the fight
Taking them on one by one
The Thunderer rides tonight
The Chariot carries him high
Straight to the fight
Taking them on all a-
Thor rides tonight
The Chariot carries him high
Straight to the fight
Taking them on all a-
Taking them on one by-
Fools not to beware his Hammer’s song

Losing Game
04:17
|
|||
|
I’ll lay it on the line and take a shot in the dark
The table’s ready to play, I’ve got a new hand of cards
If I play feeling no fear, then this could be my game
Now it’s looking like a chance again
In the gambling game that I’m playing to win
I must be too enchanted to see
That I’m playing a losing game
All of the sleepless nights, oh I knew they would come
The air just didn’t feel right
I knew you’d soon be on the run
Now it’s feeling all the same again
Just playing a game that I never can win
I knew I was losing you
Know I’m still playing a losing game
I was caught in a dream, and there you were with me
Our final chance hand in hand to be free
Love born of fire in the end just burns away
We both closed our eyes when we stepped towards the flame
Now it’s feeling all the same again
Just playing a game that I never can win
Now it’s feeling all the same again, again, again
Playing a losing game
Playing a losing game
I know I’m just spinning my wheels
Playing a losing game

Mercenary Man
04:16
|
|||
|
From the dark hills I came to these city streets
A rogue among the civilized, I became a thief
Then as a pirate lord the coastlines I seized
Still I had a greater dream
Out to battle I head, I’ll become a king by my own hand
First I fight as a mercenary man
After each day’s fight, chewing a bone of beef and guzzling wine
I earn my price as a mercenary man
If life’s but an illusion made to entertain the Gods
Let me know the warmth of a pale woman lying in my arms
Please my palate with the taste of red meat and wine
Swing my sword until I die
Out in battle again, I’ll be hewing limbs and rolling heads
Fighting hard as a mercenary man
I take the bounty they give, but hearing the battle song is why I live
I don’t fight for gold as a mercenary man
Out in battle again, I’ll become a king by my own hand
Mercenary man
Out in battle again, I’ll be hewing limbs and rollings heads
Mercenary man
I earn my price, to be born to lead must be born to fight
No wrong or right to a mercenary man

Nobody's Hero
05:03
|
|||
|
Looking around at this disarray
Everybody I meet’s got something to say
Trying to sell me their new way
Simple fools, charlatans, and liars
Can’t calm this sea or put out this fire
Just to be alone is my desire
I’m not who they say I am
But I know they just don’t give a damn
I joined the circle cause it seemed they had the key
Behind the door was a familiar scene
And love is no answer now, the magic died away
Just a lesson learned from yesterday
I know just what I am
Won't try to make them understand
What did they ever do for me
All I ever wanted was to be free
Just different names are all I see
I don’t mind being alone
My broken heart has turned to stone
No one’s my hero anymore
A chorus of destruction singing
We only heard their song today
Villains preach their insane visions
There is no price that we can pay
They’ll steal away everything
They’ll steal away everything
If I’m ever lonely and I long for you again
Must mean that I forgot the end
What did they ever do for me
Crying day and night never set me free
I’m no dreamer like I used to be
And I don’t mind being alone
My broken heart has turned to stone
Nobody’s hero but my own
I don’t mind being alone
My broken heart has turned to stone
Its turned to stone

The Maze
06:27
|
|||
|
How much more will I change
I’m willing, but I’m afraid
No time for yesterdays
Sunny days and starry nights
Blur together rushing by
Still I’m longing for another time
Painful memories I must learn to embrace
Sometimes it makes sense to me
Most times, my mind is a maze
My old armor collects dust
My broken sword’s decayed with rust
There’s no shield left I can trust
This solitude can do me well
Or it may just be my cell
And I’ve forgotten how to tell
Regretful memories I must learn to embrace
Just when I’m feeling free
I go back to my old ways
When I solve a mystery
Two more, two more will…
Two more take its place
It’s unchanging, undying
Still falling now I’m crying out
Got to find a way to turn it back around
The willpower within me
Lies deep but I know it’s breathing
To get it back again is only up to me
Nobody can give it to me, I must believe
And set myself free
Just got to keep my pace
Find my way…
Make it out of this maze

No Guarantee
03:53
|

|
Nothing comes simple, nothing comes cheap
I know life’s not easy, so don’t tell me
You wanna talk loud bout how you’re so low
You just ain’t got the balls to go where you wanna go
So you don’t even try, and hope that nobody knows
I ain’t gotta know everything
To know a thing or two
One thing I know is that I don’t need you
You’re not going anywhere
So just let me be
You won’t go far if you’re looking for a guarantee
Life gives no guarantee
Well I’m not on top, but I’m flying high
No king of the hill, I’m climbing up the mountainside
You got a lotta problems and it’s all you talk about
But none of em are yours, you just parrot the crowd
And when you’re all alone, they don’t scream very loud
You won’t be much to remember
Just what gets carved in the stone
But isn’t that all you wanted after all
You’re not going anywhere scared of victory
You won’t go far if you’re looking for a guarantee
No guarantee
Looking like a real rebel for all to see
But when it’s time to back it up, you tone it down a degree
I don’t mind, it don’t bother me the least
You’re following the trends with the company you keep
You’re running from the truth like it’s a dirty disease
I ain’t gotta know everything
To know a thing or two
One thing I know is that I’m not like you
Just listen for yourself
Don’t gotta take it from me
Heavy metal rock and roll is guaranteed
I’m riding high to victory
Life gives no guarantee
