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

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Wormhole - Avatar

Wormhole Avatar Lyrics: The propulsion is broken We implode No one cares Abandon all hope Just don't abandon me A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing There's no navigator The starlight is lost No one's left Everything's gone You're doomed, so stay with me A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart The wormhole The wormhole is closing We built pillars to the sky as a final attempt To take off upon the solar winds What no one realized at the time Was that the earthly structures took the shape of a mausoleum Banished from the vacuum void we once came from Our caskets were petroleum A sickness I used to know Sickness inside the heart One million miles ago And one million years apart A sickness I used to know Sickness insid...
