Dan G Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I was bored so I just wrote lyrics to a power metal song.Where Dragons Fly And Heroes Die (Swords In The Wind)The Legions of warriorsThey storm through the land,As dragons breathe fireTo kill on command.Through forests and mountainsWith swords raised to sky,The heroes have come hereTo fight 'til they die!CHORUS:Swords in the wind!The dragon breathes fireSwords in the wind!To kill with desireSwords in the wind!The dragon flies higherSwords In the wind!These lyrics are direA battleground plaguedWith the ice, wind and snow,As steel strikes steelHear cries from below.I stand with my bladeI'm defiant in battle.My magic destroyedEvery band from Seattle.CHORUS:Swords in the wind!The dragon breathes fireSwords in the wind!To kill with desireSwords in the wind!The dragon flies higherSwords In the wind!These lyrics are dire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a hint of power metal... they're not a prog band really.Syphony X are THE prog/power metal band. Awesome stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Here is another song I wrote. Master Of StormsThe wind in my hair and the shield on my back,Together we stand as we wait for attack.Our swords in our hands as we look to the sky,The banshees and warlocks shall face us and die!The clarion sounds let the battle begin,Our magical dragons will ensure that we'll win.The crashing of thunder is heard through the land,I'm a master of metal and this is my band!Deafening, Frightening.My magic is stronger than lightning!CHORUS:Master of Storms - My magic defeated your swords and your steel Master of storms - My power reheated your microwave mealWe ride across plains slaying all in our way,Our armour is spandex and metal we'll stay.We paint the hills red from the blood we have spilled,The wizards are vanquished and demons are killed.Victorious in battles from the snow to the sand,Our legend will reign and be told through the land.My sword has the strength of a legion of kings,I'm a master of metal and my axe has six strings!Deafening, Frightening.My magic is stronger than lightning!CHORUS:Master of Storms - My magic defeated your swords and your steel Master of storms - My power reheated your microwave meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Atom Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Anyone else with any power-metal nuggets they want to share with us? Come on now, don't be shy!As yet there's been no mention of vikings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Atom Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I heard that the whole of the new Black Atom album was power -metal..........well, that's what it sounds like behind my drum - kit........I should probably stop writing power - metal then..By the way, didn't Maiden cover a song involving vikings? THE NORSE MEN ARE COMING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Atom Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 No, they wrote it X-( Then re-worked it into Invaders... ill-advised gentlemen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Atom Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 You know, I think it probably does... doesn't make them power metal though... It's like sabbath being the grandaddys of nu-metal... doesn't mean sabbath are bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait til you hear the stuff i'm conjuring up for Maiden Taiwan's burst into the world with original material!!Its defiantely not Iron Maiden, but it's not Rhapsody either - it's a big mix of all the stuff i listen to I think.Well we can wait and see how it goes down I guess!

Joe Atom Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Erm... if you're not going to be an Iron Maiden tribute band anymore, are you going to change your name? (Not the name Doc, I mean the band name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
