Forever they're fighting on their way for the "HOLY SWORD" together they're crying for the victims they've lost in the war BRIDGE: For justice they had to die and in their heart it burns this feeling they got from a never ending fire There's thunder and lightning on their way back home from that war such glory so inviting feeling sorrow in all of their hearts BRIDGE Together it makes them cry and in their heart it burns this feeling they got from a never ending fire There's thunder and lightning in trust and hope they are riding and in their hearts it burns this feeling they got from a song CHOIR: We 're fighting here in this glory ride for HOLY SWORD again a proudly soul in a crying heart we never have to shame As the years pass by you can live and try to forget about the past for justice we call we stand one for all the HOLY SWORD is riding again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Empty Way To Nowhere Words: Rettke Music: Rettke, Paeth, Bilski The time is moving senses the lights are dimming down we set this town on fire it's time to leave it now BRIDGE: The night is black, the wheels keep turnin' we're driving down deserted roads you must believing in this hard times' life and we're standing here and it sounds so clear CHORUS: We're on this empty way to nowhere we live our life, we love that rock we 're standing in the certain glory watchin' the night wastin' and fadin' away 1.000 miles an hour like with the speed of light another place of power is coming into sight You say our life is bad and evil but we just live it to the full we're feelin' reckless as we hear you roar and we're standin' here and it sounds so clear CHORUS 85 days on the road nothing's been left and we're feelin' so cold there is new power to charge most every night we are taking it all, taking it all BRIDGE / CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can't Stop Rocking Words: Rettke Music: Rettke, Paeth, Bilski We're standing here amazed and stare at a place we couldn't reach we're standing all together now and it's time we need a preach In the last rays of the settin sun we kindle up the flame you're waiting for that night to run as we waited for that fame Infected with that virus we can feel the fever grow this heat splits up your body and it's time to start the show We're rising up like thunderstorm with power, heat and pain the heatstrokes of this metal gear are boiling up your veins CHORUS: WE CAN'T STOP ROCKIN' as we slip into the night WE CAN'T STOP ROCKIN' and we're standing side by side WE CAN'T STOP ROCKIN' got a kick from iron hell WE CAN'T STOP ROCKIN' and we're waiting for that yell We're entering the stages at the bottom we feel safe this rock's residing in your heart from the cradle to the grave Within this open fire the hammer's coming down and starting up that fireworks of feeling, light and sound CHORUS All the years we bore the load now we're ready to explode now we got the time to lead rock 'n' roll is what we need rock 'n' roll is what we need Watch out!
