Dracula
(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like I'm trippin' again
Goin' in circles
I'm not so sure where I've been
I'm goin in circles again.
This situation is a code red 911
My 411 is I'm coming undone.
Feels like the whole world's tweekin'
And I just wanna get my freak in
I just wanna get drunk this weekend
Without throwin' up or sleepin' in jail.
My life's spinning going out of control
I wanna get out of this hole
It feels like I'm losing it.

What's wrong with me?
I can't find myself.
x2

Looks like they're shutting you in
Why should you take it?
Looks like they're shutting you in
Why should you take it again?
Your situation is a code red 911
Your 411 is you're coming undone.
Feels like your whole world's dyin'
and you don't wanna be reminded
You don't wanna hear all this lyin'
You just wanna rewind and try it again.
Your life's spinning going out of control
You wanna get out of this hole
It feels like you're losing it.

What's wrong with me?
I can't find myself.
x2

Where did I go wrong?
What have I done?
x2

There must be some way out. x4
Can you dig it, freedom? x2
Can you hear it?
Fly! x3
Can you hear it?

What's wrong with me?
I can't find myself.

Where did I go wrong?




What have I done?

Hiszel a szerelemben?
Hiszel a végzetben?
Az igazi szerelem minden ezer életben csak egyszer talál meg
Szerettelek, de elvettek tőlem
Imádkoztam lelkedért, imádkoztam békéjükért
Mikor kinyitom szemem
Kedvesem arcát látom és megnyugszom
Mikor kinyitom szemem
Emléke pengeként hasít
A vér az élet, Krisztussal dacolva
Az ősi ellenség új hitvallást szül
Ez a jutalmam, hogy Istent szolgáltam?
A vér, melyet a becsület nevében ontottam
Elkárhozott, köpték arcomba
Én hűséggel szolgáltam és te istenkáromlót kiáltasz
Bosszúm a sötétség, a vér az élet
A Sárkány követel s én élettel táplálom
A legrosszabb várni arra
Hogy megízleljem, mit valaha láttam
Átadom a szörnyű kórt
Megetetem vele értékes gyermekem
Az emberi vérrel, mely enyhíti szomjamat
Én a vér Sárkánya vagyok, a fájdalom könyörtelen hercege
Letaszítom Istent trónjáról
A vérem örökké jelölt
Bosszút állok az igaz szerelemért
Megtagadom azt a hitet, mely elátkozta kedvesem

Věříš v lásku?
Věříš v osud?
Pravá láska může přijít pouze jednou za tisíc životů…
Také jsem miloval…vzali mi ji
Modlil jsem se za její duši…modlil jsem se za její klid

Když zavřu oči
Vidím její tvář, utěšuje mě to
Když zavřu oči
Vzpomínky řežou jako nůž

Krev znamená život a Kristu já se vzpírám
Můj zapřísáhlý nepřítel…zrození nové víry

Je tohle má odměna za službu v boží válce?
Bylo dost krve, kterou jsem prolil
Zatratit ji, ostuda, pliveš mi do tváře
Oddaně jsem ti sloužil a ty si chrlil rouhání

Mstím se za tmy, krev znamená život
Řád draka, živím se z lidského života

Čekají na mě daleko horší věci než smrt
Zakus, co jsem já viděl
Šířím svou chorobu
Živím se z jeho vzácného dítěte
Lidská rasa bude krvácet, budou sloužit mým potřebám

Mstím se za tmy, krev znamená život
Řád draka, živím se z lidského života

Já jsem drak krve, neúprosný princ bolesti
Zříkám se boha na jeho trůnu
Má krev je navždy pošpiněná

Za pravou lásku budu se mstít
Vzpírám se víře, která ji zatratila

"Όταν κλείνω τα μάτια μου οι αναμνήσεις κόβουν σαν μαχαίρι... " Απίστευτος στίχος..! \m/ (-_-) \m/

@BloodthirstyAcademic

"Υπάρχουν πράγματα πολύ χειρότερα από τον θάνατο που περιμένουν τους ανθρώπους" κι αυτός καταπληκτικός στίχος

@Kaplunco

This man is up there with Dickinson, Dio, and Halford. Absolutely incredible, such an epic and emotional voice. Mathew Barlow, may you find great happiness in whatever endeavors you decide to explore. The metal world is better because of you, sir.

@demonika13601

How much do you know of this band? Both Bruce Dickinson AND the legendary Timothy "ripper" Owen's have been or are currently members

@thiagofagundes733

For me, Mat Barlow have the best vocal, I love his songs of Iced Earth, I think he is the best vocalist of Iced Earth.

I love this song... It goes from the beginning, full of beauty, sadness and emotion, then cuts to the questioning anger and power... God it's amazing

@Musicmanohio247

I still get the goosebumps when Matt first starts to scream. One of my all-time favorite screams...
