Day when people complained that the Feds weren’t spending enough on law enforcement. In some ways, this song has become a parody of itself.

How could you not like a song with a title like that? Plus, it’s a decent song.

Lyrics:
You’ve turned your back on me
And left me alone
I saw this house, so high
You’ve turned your back on me
And left me alone
I saw this house, so high
– Will it take me to the sky
Another life, another soul
Taken by yourself esteem
16.6 floors to realize my dream
There was just one more way
And the ice cold wind howled through the night
I heard a distant scream
I’d never believed the door extreme
There’s just a one way street
Without an exit for us all to leave And here we stay and nothing more to say
Let me burn – burn me alive
Got a bullet with your name on it
Hits you straight between the eyes
Let me burn – burn me alive
Guess it’s time to teach a lesson
Gonna pack my
Thursday is the seventieth anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima with the second bomb being dropped on Nagasaki two days later. So, we’ll go with a Sabaton song about the event.

This week, we have a ballad. Enjoy!

This was originally a Blind Guardian song, but I like Leaves’ Eyes’ cover. It may have something to do with my affinity for female-fronted metal bands.

Lyrics:
Taking on water, sailing a restless sea
From a memory, a fantasy.
The wind carries into white water,
Far from the islands.
Don’t you know you’re…
Never going to get to france.
Mary, queen of chance, will they find you
Never going to get to france.
Could a new romance ever bind you
Walking on foreign ground like a shadow
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder, stories unfold
You’re searching for sanctuary.
You know you’re…
Never going to get to france.
Mary, queen of chance, will they find you
Never going to get to france.
Could a new romance ever bind you
I see a picture
By the lamp’s flicker.
Isn’t it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer
Never going to get to france.
Mary, queen of chance, will they find you
Never going to get to france.
Could a new romance ever bind you
I see a picture
By the lamp’s flicker.
Isn’t it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer
Never going to get to france.
Mary, queen of chance, will they find you
Never going to get to france.
Could a new romance ever bind you
Never going to get to france.
Never going to..
This is another one that will crawl up your ear and stay there for a while.

Lyrics:
All our visions of sweet tomorrow
is cracking and fading away.
Hopes of glory are drowned in sorrow
this dissension expels us to yesterday.
Lead your troops into your lust of pride
they’ll fight so brave at heart.
Or cast the yoke of envy aside
and keep the land from falling apart.
Do you hear the clarion call,
it’s calling out to one and all.
Who will live and who will fall,
who will walk the golden hall.
Do you hear the clarion call,
it’s calling out to one and all.
Who is right and who is wrong,
whose side is god really on.
What are the alliances and treaties for
as pretenders yet look to the sky.
All the trumpets will sound once more
and victory will be given another try.
Do you hear the clarion call,
it’s calling out to one and all.
Our blood must be spilled
so the nobles’ visions can be fulfilled.
The night harvests our land
while the dissidents reach for their dreams.
The nations’ split by false hands
while their prize slowly vaporize
into a steam that escape their eyes.
A fool is he who cannot foresee,
hell is what this, our land will be.
Yes hell what is this, our land will be.
Do you hear the clarion call,
it’s calling out to one and all.
Which side will finally prevail,
while the other side will fail.
How many pretenders can we endure?
The land is bleeding, so not many more.
Who may better the royal sceptre sway?
Questions, questions,
you’ll see at the end of the day.
This week we welcome Circus Maximus to the bands featured on Metal Tuesday.

This week’s Metal Tuesday is probably one of the longest songs I’ve featured. It’s also full of earworm goodness.

To close out “Cover Month,” I decided to go with something a little different.
When I saw that Dragonforce had a cover of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” on their latest album, it piqued my interest. Honestly, I was surprised at how good it actually is.

Lyrics in the YouTube post.
I love the fact that Disturbed has a cover on most of their albums. I’ll save the others for if/when I do another month of covers. The one I chose was their cover of Tears For Fears’ “Shout.”
