Some people were asking for the lyrics. I got you: Power Metal never dies! In prison, in chains and locked up Abducted by force of darkness It's pulling me down as I fight I cry out in anguish! They tell me to kneel down for them But I won't give in to their words My body is bruised by their hands But my spirit remains! Power! Metal! Never! Dies! Power! Metal! Forever! So we spread our wings up high and let the darkness pass us by! Yes, we spread our wings and fly, together to the sky! Power Metal never dies! I'm blinded and shackled in chains It's war of attrition, stay strong! My body and mind is in pain I can't hide my anguish! I'm beaten, I'm strapped and locked up But there is no way they'll get me! My freedom is taken away But my will, it remains! Power! Metal! Never! Dies! Power! Metal! Forever! So we spread our wings up high and let the darkness pass us by! Yes, we spread our wings and fly, together to the sky! When the night is as cold as ice, I'll see the fire in your eyes! Cause no matter how high the price, the flame will always rise! Power Metal never dies! So we spread our wings up high and let the darkness pass us by! Yes, we spread our wings and fly, together to the sky! When the night is as cold as ice, I'll see the fire in your eyes! Cause no matter how high the price, the flame will always rise! (x2) Power Metal never! Power Metal never! Power Metal never dies!
Power metal died when those generic bands started to make generic musics with the same vocal lines imitating Michael Kiske, the same epic medieval themes and zero creativity in compositions. Bands like Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody and Hammerfall are awesome bands and they're original and creative. That's why they will always be the best bands in this genre. But every day i see generic power metal bands with no identity in their music. They just wanna make songs with generic chorus and they think it's okay. Their musicians are lazy and don't even try to make something different. This Royal Jester band is a perfect exemple of what i hate in this new power metal cliche.
"I crossed the valleys the dust of midlands To search for the third key to open the gates Now I'm near the altar the secret inside As legend told my beloved sun light the dragon's eyes On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword To serve right ideals and justice for all Finally happened the sun hit their eyes The spell was creating strange games of light Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way Over the stones I reached the place it was a secret cave In a long bloody battle that prophecies told The light will prevail hence wisdom is gold For the king for the land for the mountains For the green valleys where dragons fly For the glory the power to win the black lord I will search for the emerald sword Only a warrior with a clear heart Could have the honour to be kissed by the sun Yes, I am that warrior I followed my way Led by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the sword On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword To serve right ideas and justice for all For the king for the land for the mountains For the green valleys where dragons fly For the glory the power to win the black lord I will search for the emerald sword For the king for the land for the mountains For the green valleys where dragons fly For the glory the power to win the black lord I will search for the emerald Sword" lol
