Cobra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting bored
I wonder where is all the fun
I wonder how we're gonna bring back
The age of rock 'n roll
I heard it's lost
Those fuckin' scums
We're here to kick their ass 'till they explode
...or scream for rock 'n roll
You cannot hide! Behind a wall of cowardice
Be strong and brave! Like a tiger, like a thunder
Scratch your skin! Hold on, fight back, show your power
Yeah! We are! The army and the hope for rock 'n roll
Ain't never gonna die!
Duty of the Men of war!
Fight for it ‘till the end!
The rage is strong
Our burning blood
It's time to make the dream come true
The sound of Heavy Metal raising
A reason to reborn
We'll make the call
The time has come
In battle we are immortal souls
The strength of Men of War will show them...
Rock and roll's not gone!
