Adult Years
02:59
|
|||
I've lasted long in life to make it to this
A point in time that I did not wanna miss
From 1991 to 2009
Teenage days have past and adult years have arrived
I'm prepared and ready
'Cause it's the start of the adult years
The remainder of my life
Holds future triumphs that are very near
No more holding back now
Because I'm ready for a great advance
I aim for greatness
Whatever happens will never happen by chance
From this day onward I live life to roll
And not just from the drinking of alcohol
The other tool that I will not travel without
Is my ability to get up and rock out
I'm prepared and ready
'Cause it's the start of the adult years
The remainder of my life
Holds future triumphs that are very near
No more holding back now
Because I'm ready for a great advance
I aim for greatness
Whatever happens will never happen by chance
My name is Ryan O'Donovan and now I'm 18
The right to go to places that I've never been
I'll get the job done wherever it's set
As Fightstar once said - "paint your target"
I'm prepared and ready
'Cause it's the start of the adult years
The remainder of my life
Holds future triumphs that are very near
No more holding back now
Because I'm ready for a great advance
I aim for greatness
Whatever happens will never happen by chance
I aim for greatness
Whatever happens will never happen by chance

Guitar Galore
02:47
|
|||
Now I'm starting out with a team of heavy rockers
They all know that there's nothing out there that can stop us
With me combined with them, we're now a heavy metal nation
From here on we travel to seek appreciation
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
As the tour continues we rise to the status of kings on Earth
We're out to give the scene a whole new birth
The whole stage is now one great view of partying
And all of us are there, and we're singing
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the screaming
Nights like these are definitely worth thrashing
So be prepared for this place to blow
It's about to blow with rock and roll
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
Oooh yeah, guitar galore
Oooh yeah, guitar galore

Wireless Media
03:26
|

We're into the 21st century
Full of advanced technology
Media is in every device
Always around to suffice
There's also another big feature
One that's too good for sure
The wires are never in a mess
Because media's now wireless
Computers rule business around the Earth
We all understand exactly what it's worth
And now we all have wireless media
That outlasts encyclopedias
Citizens are now seduced
To work that's been reduced
Machines run on automatic
Making life all fantastic
This force runs totally free
From Tokyo to NYC
It's the technological ace
And it's called Cyberspace
Computers rule business around the Earth
We all understand exactly what it's worth
And now we all have wireless media
That outlasts encyclopedias
Who even needs such things as tools
Machines are the things to use
I don't know how you may feel
But Cyberspace makes excitement real
Computers rule business around the Earth
We all understand exactly what it's worth
And now we all have wireless media
That outlasts encyclopedias
Computers rule business around the Earth
We all understand exactly what it's worth
And now we all have wireless media
That outlasts encyclopedias

Cruisin'
03:34
|
|||
There're so many ways to say that life does you well
Like making your enemies lives a living hell
I prefer rock and roll with no need to bide
And having it turned up full blast in my ride
No one is offended by the loud noise it makes
'Cause I rocket past them as quickly as I came
If the cops call it crime, then they've got no class
So they can all come and kiss my ass
This is a new hobby
And I'm already speeding at a hundred miles an hour
I enjoy cruising
On roadways that are for my wheels to devour
Have no fear, though
I'm no one from the program Cops With Cameras
So don't go looking for a race
You'll prove to be unqualified drivers
There's plenty of good places to test the new gears
I've got a license guaranteed to last many years
My ride even has a decent bass machine
And perfect drifting for when in a ravine
I also use my ride as a babe magnet
They call it a magnet 'cause they really like it
They climb inside with no hesitation
And I proceed to acceleration
This is a new hobby
And I'm already speeding at a hundred miles an hour
I enjoy cruising
On roadways that are for my wheels to devour
Have no fear, though
I'm no one from the program Cops With Cameras
So don't go looking for a race
You'll prove to be unqualified drivers
So life just gets better day after day
I rock hard on stage and I drive all the way
What could be a better way to spend a weekend
On gears and concerts I depend
This is a new hobby
And I'm already speeding at a hundred miles an hour
I enjoy cruising
On roadways that are for my wheels to devour
Have no fear, though
I'm no one from the program Cops With Cameras
So don't go looking for a race
You'll likely to be unqualified drivers

Ruthless Aggression
03:23
|
|||
You say that I'm unable to use my own rage
Well I can show you something even you would like to wage
And now you've drawn me out and it's time for you to see
The very epitome of my intensity
Nowhere to run, 'cause I'm hot and loaded
To play along with your game for bloodshed
Ruthless aggression
The only thing you seem to ever understand
Always in your mind
So bonded in that you'll never leave it behind
It's now or never
To show you exactly what I'm made from
I'm here to take you down
And then return to a life of freedom
I've seen enough of your nerves and your shit
'Cause all it does in the end is make me fucking sick
It's too late for you now to get out of my way
The only thing you got now is a price to pay
Nowhere to run, 'cause I'm hot and loaded
To play along with your game for bloodshed
Ruthless aggression
The only thing you seem to ever understand
Always in your mind
So bonded in that you'll never leave it behind
It's now or never
To show you exactly what I'm made from
I'm here to take you down
And then return to a life of freedom
Nowhere to run, 'cause I'm hot and loaded
To play along with your game for bloodshed
Ruthless aggression
The only thing you seem to ever understand
Always in your mind
So bonded in that you'll never leave it behind
It's now or never
To show you exactly what I'm made from
I'm here to take you down
And then return to a life of freedom

Escape From Fear
03:46
|
|||
I'm suffering thoroughly
Through stress and anxiety
An ongoing battle in my mind
Something that I can't rewind
The time has come to escape
Before this thing continues to scrape
I'll break free from this cage
With all my might and rage
It's gone for long enough
By getting deadly rough
I will escape from here
I will escape from fear
It's gone for long enough
By getting deadly rough
I will escape from here
I will escape from fear
The pain's roots run so deep
And still continue to creep
Plunging through like a knife
And all throughout my life
But now I'm fighting back
To keep myself on track
I will not be stopped now
And I will tell you how
It's gone for long enough
By getting deadly rough
I will escape from here
I will escape from fear
It's gone for long enough
By getting deadly rough
I will escape from here
I will escape from fear
No more torture, no more fracture, no more agony, no more anxiety
No more torture, no more fracture, no more agony, no more anxiety
No more torture, no more fracture, no more agony, no more anxiety
No more torture, no more fracture, no more agony, no more anxiety!
It's gone for long enough
By getting deadly rough
I will escape from here
I will escape from fear
It's gone for long enough
By getting deadly rough
I will escape from here
I will escape from fear

Overthrow The Law
04:05
|
|||
Authorities - they claim to be perfect
Cops, guards, inspectors always on the suspects
But what happens when they end up apprehending you
They take no arguments and you get so very screwed
If I had it my way I would riot against the law
They'd get what's coming and the score would be even
And if they try to resist what we have to say
Then we'll just have to use more force every day
Overthrow the law
We fight on our own battlefields
Authorities
Just think that they're effective shields
Everyone
Grab a large AK machine gun
The cops are interfering
But soon they will be over and done
There's no point in cops trying to bust us
'Cause now we're locked and loaded and we're armed inside every bus
Soon we'll be a true force to be reckoned with
And no one in the future will be saying that we're just a myth
If I had it my way I would riot against the law
They'd get what's coming and the score would be even
And if they try to resist what we have to say
Then we'll just have to use more force every day
Overthrow the law
We fight on our own battlefields
Authorities
Just think that they're effective shields
Everyone
Grab a large AK machine gun
The cops are interfering
But soon they will be over and done
The time is now to advance with aggression
Always keep in mind our battle's expression
CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!
CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!
CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!
CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!
Overthrow the law
We fight on our own battlefields
Authorities
Just think that they're effective shields
Everyone
Grab a large AK machine gun
The cops are interfering
But soon they will be over... and done!

I Need You
03:00
|
|||
I can't face what I can't control
When pressure takes its toll
I'm just a guy who is all alone
Feeling pain in every bone
With you, though, you make me feel alive
You make me not wanna hide
Just by looking at your pretty face
It sets things at a different pace
If I said I never needed you I'd be lying plain and simple
As long as you and I are near I will always remain stable
Words cannot express how you made me a man
You bring an atmosphere with you like no other girl can
I can't imagine you not being there - I wouldn't know what to do
'Cause I need you
There's nothing to deny
You're like something from the sky
When I first set my eyes on you
It was too good to be true
I never thought I'd see the day
When someone took my breath away
But I guess that I was wrong
It was proved before long
If I said I never needed you I'd be lying plain and simple
As long as you and I are near I will always remain stable
Words cannot express how you made me a man
You bring an atmosphere with you like no other girl can
I can't imagine you not being there - I wouldn't know what to do
'Cause I need you
At very long last
My quest is at an end
A girl who is so much more
Than just a simple friend
What a miracle
I've finally found someone
To spend eternity with
And that's as bright as the sun
Words cannot express how you made me a man
You bring an atmosphere with you like no other girl can
I can't imagine you not being there - I wouldn't know what to do
'Cause I need you
'Cause I need you

A Broken Heart
04:36
|
|||
We started with an opportunity
Which was worth everything to me
I never thought we'd get so far
As lying down looking at the stars
But now you've let your anger take control
And throw our love right into a hole
You say I'm away from you too much
Although you don't know my ways as such
If you're uncomfortable with how you feel
Then it's true what I suspect
You have a dilemma inside of you
And you don't know which road is correct
If you choose to think of me as a fool
Then that's completely up to you
But don't blame me for despair
If you regret what you chose to do
My love for you was meant to be everlasting
But you, however, regard it like it's collapsing
If you want it to end
Then by all means tear it apart
But you won't find peace if you get yourself a broken heart
These nights are dull and without tone
'Cause I'm right here all alone
I cannot set my mind straight
All because of my emotional state
You feel that you made the right choice
With the negative words that you voiced
But I can read your mind right now
And sense that you suffer in doubt
If you're uncomfortable with how you feel
Then it's true what I suspect
You have a dilemma inside of you
And you don't know which road is correct
If you choose to think of me as a fool
Then that's completely up to you
But don't blame me for despair
If you regret what you chose to do
My love for you was meant to be everlasting
But you, however, regard it like it's collapsing
If you want it to end
Then by all means tear it apart
But you won't find peace if you get yourself a broken heart
I'll leave the choice with you to make
But don't get it wrong or you won't be free
I can make your life worth the while
If you will just let me
My love for you was meant to be everlasting
But you, however, regard it like it's collapsing
If you want it to end
Then by all means tear it apart
But you won't find peace if you get yourself a broken heart

Awakened To Metal
04:13
|
|||
Since the midst of teenage years
I've risen to the spot
An area in which
There's more to it than I've got
No telling how it worked
To be exact
But certainly very well
As a matter of fact
If all of you are listening
Then I'll be simple with the whole thing
Awakened to metal
As I've never been before
Such a big change in life
That I want more and more
I never wanna stop
'Cause it's going all too well
And I'm going at light-speed
As I travel with Carousel
I started at stage one
As a loser and a joke
Being pushed and violated
By guys who did nothing but smoke
In the end they saw me
Rocking out on guitar
Earned some deep respect
And kept it going far
If all of you are listening
Then I'll be simple with the whole thing
Awakened to metal
As I've never been before
Such a big change in life
That I want more and more
I never wanna stop
'Cause it's going all too well
And I'm going at light-speed
As I travel with Carousel
Yeah!
Who cares what problems I had
'Cause I passed 'em and now I'm glad
No one can bring me down
'Cause I'm rocking all over town
Who cares what problems I had
'Cause I passed 'em and now I'm glad
No one can bring me down
'Cause I'm rocking all over town
Awakened to metal
As I've never been before
Such a big change in life
That I want more and more
I never wanna stop
'Cause it's going all too well
And I'm going at light-speed
As I travel with Carousel
Awakened to metal
As I've never been before
Such a big change in life
That I want more and more
I never wanna stop
'Cause it's going all too well
And I'm going at light-speed
As I travel with Carousel
