Be prepared to fight tonight, Nameless Warrior's on your side. Blood and scars is what we like, no enemy will survive. Because tonight Nameless Warrior is on your side!


Maybe not the best vocals but decent and damn what a great solo! Cool rock and metal out of Germany.Here's another one;




Cool knowing there's still some good stuff being made out there.With the good old school rawness of the 80's metal base ya know? Heard about 'em on the you tube channel called BANGERTV. Check 'em out.Mostly they covered black/death metal bands,never been a fan of those but this one stuck out at me.

Heavy metal musicians aren't just harbingers of doom. They are also voices of social consciousness. In this talk, Peter Buckland provides over 40 years of songs on the threats from nuclear war, globalization, the invasion of Iraq, demagogue politicians, and human-caused climate change.

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll, a' roll
Lyrics
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll, a' rollJust like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destructionActing like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodesJust like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphonyJust like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destructionThe earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tallJust like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphonyJust like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction
Songwriters: Dave Mustaine

Mother please forgive them
For they know not what they do
Looking back in history's books
It seems it's nothing new
Oh, let my mother live




Mother please forgive them
For they know not what they do
Looking back in history's books
It seems it's nothing new
Oh, let my mother live

Heaven is for heroes
And hell is full of fools
Stupidity, no will to live
They're breaking God's own rules
Please let my mother live

Father of all creation
I think we're all going wrong
The path they're taking
Seems to be breaking
And it won't take too long
Children of the future
Watching empires fall
Madness, the cup they drink from
Self destruction, the toll

I had a vision, l saw the world burn
And the seas had turned red
The sun had fallen, the final curtain
In the land of the dead
Mother, please show the children
Before it's too late
To fight each other, there's no one winning
We must fight all the hate

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's End
Never will it mend
Never



Lyrics
Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's End
Never will it mend
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blistering of Earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blackened

Take your breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened
Blackened

Welcome to church,metalheads!


Mama, I'm crying, did the silver angel warn the earth
From a blue sky falling?
Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again?
Will you be there to shelter me?
The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all
That's allMorning comes, I walk to school,
but something's in the air
Things have changed, there's war at hand,
but I'm too young to care
My home is a paradise, a jewel in the east
My family, they have seen the battles,
they're praying for relief
Soon to be over, my father he said, victory is ours son
We will mourn all of our deadI wonder what happens when a world is at war
In order to win, does someone else keep the score?
I think of my future on this beautiful day
How could I have known that the end's on its way?The sky is quiet
Just one single plane
To bring destruction
Has mankind gone insane?What happened to the land?
Metal fused with stone
Nothing remains, nothing lives
Burned through the boneThe sun touched the earth somehow, life melts away
One city barren wasteland, a split-second blaze
The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass
A master stroke of evil in a blinding flashThe sea of dead and dying increases by the day
For years to come we pay the price of science gone astray

He was standing all alone
Trying to find the words to say
When every prayer he ever prayed
Was gone
And the dreams he's never owned
Are still safely tucked away
Until tomorrow he just
Carries onSee the Devil in the streets at night
See him running in the pouring rain
See him grinning Å?neath a twisted light
I'll be back again
See the people standing in a row
See them nodding like a field of grain
No one sees the sickle though
Coming Å?cross the plainAnd this he knows if nothing more
That waiting in the dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chance
Take a chance
See the Devil he is so intense
See the Devil go and change his name
What's the going price of innocence
It can't be the same
Is it dark when the moon is down
Is it dark with a single flame
If there's glass falling all all around
I am not to blame
And this he knows if nothing moreThat waiting in the dark like destiny
Are those who kissed the dogs of war
And there is no tomorrow
No tomorrow
Take a chanceBurn the night awayPictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to nothing but this chanceI fear you
Your silence
Your blindness
See what you want to see
In darkness
One kindness
One moment
Tell me what you believeI believe in nothing
Never really had to
In regards to your life
Rumors that are not true
Who's defending evil
Surely never I
Who would be the witness
Should you chance to dieFather can you hear me
This is not how was meant to be
I am safe and so are you
As for the others destinyI believe that situations
All depend on circumstanceLook away
Look awayPictures at an exhibition
Played as he stood in his trance
Staring at his inhibitions
All the time believing
That it now came down to
Nothing but this chance





Chance

This could very well be the band's most popular live song. The epic track tells of the heroic Chiune "Sempo" Sugihara, a Japanese Ambassador to Lithuania who in 1939 wrote exit visas for some 8,000 Jews who would have otherwise perished in the Holocaust. "[He] saw a chance to do the right thing, and took it," O'Neill has said. The song is also significant in its structural content, as it was the first time a rock band had recorded a song with five-part, harmonized counterpoint, a fixture that becomes a defining element of the band in future releases. Here, these multiple vocal parts represent the arguments within Sugihara's mind before he committed himself to action, O'Neill has said, adding that the song, written in the studio, took two weeks to record and another week to mix.


By the time Sugihara left Lithuania he had issued visas to 2,140 persons. These visas also covered some 300 others, mostly children.
Sugihara held a variety of jobs after the war including one for a Japanese trading company in Moscow from 1960 to 1975. Shortly before his death, Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Israel, declared Sugihara "Righteous Among the Nations" for his aid to the refugees in Lithuania during World War II. Yad Vashem conferred the title in 1984, honoring the former Japanese consul with a ceremony in Jerusalem in January 1985.

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage is set, now pay the price
An ego boost, don't think twice




Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage is set, now pay the price
An ego boost, don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned
The hunt is canned...

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and trophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars' anagram is "lairs"
Man, you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous
So courageous...

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction

[Short Instrumental Break]

"One hour from now, another species of life form will disappear off the face of the planet... forever. And the rate is accelerating

[Instrumental Break]

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction

Did you know?
Scientists estimate that 150-200 species of plant, insect, bird and mammal become extinct every 24 hours. This is nearly 1,000 times the “natural” or “background” rate and, say many biologists, is greater than anything the world has experienced since the vanishing of the dinosaurs nearly 65m years ago.Aug 17, 2010
I'm too frightened to look up more current stats.

How ironic isn't it,how we're searching for lifeforms on other planets and if we found it we would think of it as such a huge deal,yet we don't care about losing them here at home at apparently,such alarming rates,upon mother earth.Where are our priorities?


Surely,this couldn't be that thing they told my ancestors about,when they arrived by ship,was "progress"?
Don't be afraid of a different perspective.Sometimes a different view can help solve issues.Perhaps the answers to may of current day problems have been right under our feet all along.Wisdom can found in places and peoples we've not yet explored.If we're too busy being divided,we can't come together for change.Perhaps those most viewed as primitive were not so much primitive after all.Perhaps simply misunderstood and mostly just overlooked.

Thought provoking song.

They tried to ban, censor and erase Indian culture from rock and roll history but Native American influence is wrapped into modern music's DNA. RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World is an electric look at Native American influence in popular music, going deep into the Indigenous foundations of rock.

Rumble

The Indians Who Rocked the World

RUMBLE traces the melodies, rhythms, and beats of traditional Native music as they took different forms across the spectrum of 20th-century American rock. Native Americans such as Robbie Robertson and Buffy Sainte-Marie helped to define its evolution, while Native guitarists and drummers such as Link Wray -- the electric guitar pioneer whose titular instrumental hit was banned from the radio, Hall of Famer Jimi Hendrix, who was part-Cherokee, Jesse Ed Davis, and many more forever changed the trajectory of rock and roll. Their stories are told by some of America’s greatest rock legends who knew them, played music with them, and were inspired by them, including George Clinton, Taj Mahal, Slash, Jackson Browne, Taboo, Buddy Guy, Quincy Jones, Derek Trucks, Tony Bennett, Iggy Pop, Steven Tyler and Stevie Van Zandt.


Telling a missing chapter in rock history, RUMBLE is essential viewing for music fans.

Playing tonight for FREE on PBS.

You guys check out rumble yet? Jimmy Page Listening to Rumble ........



Just think,perhaps there wouldn't of been a Led Zeppelin without a Native American Indian man's influence. Link Wray is still not listed in the rock & roll hall of fame.

With crystal eyes she gazes
Like a desert flower
In the morning rain
She's well aware of every promise made
She's a child of light in a world of pain
Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you

Did you guys know that Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. is a Blackfoot American Indian? He's not in Rumble,the Indians who rocked the world (though he should of been!) but be sure to check out that doc! Free on PBS until 2/5/19





It's ironic that I seem to be born of two fathers. One with a dedication to the United States where I live but to my American Indian Heritage as well.

At times there is definite conflict in me because I love them both. I can't change the past so I try to understand that I am a product of both worlds. If it sounds difficult, you're right!!!

There's rain on the mountain
A white frost on the moors
It's an epoch of eternity
Waters touch the holy shore

Here,American Indian,Blackie remembers those on the dreadful day of 9/11 in New York. This ones a powerful tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters of America.If this one doesn't reach out,grab your soul,shake it,spin it upsides down and turn it all around,then you better check your pulse.


Come and take me down the dark beyond
And take me there where I come from
Take me down to the place where I'll kneel
And let me lay my shadow down
In through the eyes of a child's inner me
No pain to heal my bloodied browThere is no rain to save this silent town
There is no rain to save at all
There is no place to save this silent ground
There is no place to save at allOh Father take me unto where I'll lay me down
On Hallowed Ground
Oh the sky is falling
And I don't know where my home is now
My Hallowed Ground
Oh and can you take me
For I have tasted Hallowed Ground
Oh all aroundFather - do you hear me
This pain I will not cry aloud
Father - I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbowed
