Ich liebe Lieder mit Epischen Texten, zu meinen Favoriten geört auf jeden Fall Manowar mit "Swords in the Wind" (1)
Für alle, die (wie auch immer) traurig verliebt sind: Das lied "Anywhere" aus Avantasia - The Metal Opera Part 2 (von Tobias Sammet) (2)
Absolutes Highlight ist aber auch das Lied "The Wind beneath my Wings" (super Rock/Metal-Version von "Sonata Arctica") (3)
Ist ein bissl viel, aber lesenswert
(1) MANOWAR – Swords in the wind
I surrender my soul Odin hear my call
One day I’ll sit beside your throne in Valhalla’s great hall
Like so many before me I’ll die with honor and pride
The right of a warrior forever to fight by your side
Send a sign raise the sail wave a last goodbye
Destiny is calling immortality be mine
Call the witch to cast the runes, weave a magic spell
We who die in battle are born not for heaven not for hell
We are sons of Odin the fire we burn inside
Is the legacy of warrior kings who reign above in the sky
I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea in cold wind and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
Today the blood of battle upon my weapons will never dry
Many I’ll send into the ground laughing as they die
We are sons of Odin the fire we burn inside
Is the legacy of warrior kings who reign above in the sky
I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea in cold wind and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
Place my body on a ship and burn it in the sea
Let my spirit rise Valkries carry me
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me
Fire burning to the sky my spirit will never die
I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea in cold wind and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
I will lead the charge my sword into the wind
Sons of Odin fight to die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea in cold wind and rain
Sail into the black of night magic stars our guiding light
(2) Avantasia - Anywhere, Chorus
Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light
Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again
Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine
Where are you now if you are there
anywhere, anywhere...
(3) Sonata Arctica - Wind beneath my Wings
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
