Motörhead


Lyrics:
16 years old when I went to the war,
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
God on my side, and a gun in my hand,
Chasing my days down to zero,
And I marched and I fought and I bled
And I died & I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time, That a year in the line,
Was a long enough life for a soldier,
We all volunteered,
And we wrote down our names,
And we added two years to our ages,
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
Ready for history's pages,
And we brawled and we fought
And we whored 'til we stood,
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
A thirst for the Hun,
We were food for the gun, and that's
What you are when you're soldiers,
I heard my friend cry,
And he sank to his knees, coughing blood
As he screamed for his mother
And I fell by his side,
And that's how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other,
And I lay in the mud
And the guts and the blood,
And I wept as his body grew colder,
And I called for my mother
And she never came,
Though it wasn't my fault
And I wasn't to blame,
The day not half over
And ten thousand slain, and now
There's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is for a soldier.

Letra:
16 años de edad cuando fui a la guerra
para luchar por una tierra digna para héroes
Dios a mi lado y un fusil en mi mano
Persiguiendo mis días hasta ponerlo a cero
Y marché y luché y sangré
y morí y nunca me hice mayor
Pero en aquel momento sabía, que un año en la línea
era una vida suficientemente larga para un soldado
Todos nos hicimos voluntarios
y anotamos nuestros nombres
y añadimos dos años a nuestra edad
impaciente como modo de vida y en posición ventajosa
Preparados para los libros de historia
y peleamos y luchamos
y nos comprometimos hasta que aguantamos
Diez mil, hombro con hombro
Un anhelo para el boche
presa fácil para el cañón, y es
lo que sois cuando sois soldados
Oí llorar a mi amigo
y se hundió de rodillas escupiendo sangre
mientras gritaba por su madre
y caí a su lado
y así es como morimos
aferrados el uno al otro como niños
y me tumbo en el barro
y las tripas y la sangre
y lloré mientras su cuerpo se enfriaba
y reclamé a mi madre
y nunca vino
aunque no era mi culpa
y yo no era a quien culpar
El día todavía a medio acabar
y diez mil asesinados y ahora
no hay nadie que recuerde nuestros nombres
y así es para un soldado

We're losing time, dark matter   Denounce the demagogues King diamond to discard Deploy the dialogue Your word against the law   It's strange these days When everybody else pays For someone else's mistake This blame takes shape Still everybody else pays For someone else's mistake   You're running away We're pulling apart In all of this dark matter   I once had a...

§1 - Opeth

 §1 Opeth Lyrics: Draped in death, the howl of lore Draped in death, the howl of lore   Alas, my time is at an end I have wallowed in self-pity And I confess to you As part of final plight   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   A syndicates mass in the waiting room Like spiders weave And rumors spread fast above regal tombs Enacted grief   I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding) And guide my children through my trials   Put your trust in my command I thin the blood. I lift my hand   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   Letra: Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición   Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición     Ay, mi tiempo ha llegado a su fin   He estado sumido en la autocompasión   Y te

The Chant - Gojira

 The Chant Gojira Lyrics: You were told to swallow, crawl and hide Victims of fear and deception Get ahold of yourself, rise above The better part of you, immortal   May this purple spring flow into your soul Exhausting all these black holes inside Wake up to the sound of doom! Let this chant ring in your bones and lift you up   Get strong Get strong Get strong Get strong   Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up, wake up Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Letra: Se te dijo que tragaras, gatearas y te escondieras Víctimas del miedo y el engaño Contrólate a ti mismo, elévate por enci
