Doro Pesch and Warlock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear the sound of war
That is echoing through the streets
I can feel
Cold metal steel
The rhythm of death
Running through the night
To my master
With thoughts of destruction in my brains
Out of control
I can hear the warlord calling :
Give your soul
The bells of fire
Ringing out so loud :
Back to attack !
Drums of the night make me wild
The hounds of hell are getting closer
With their gleaming eyes

Drums in the night give me a sign
The sound of drums at night is signaling something to me
I hear the sound of war
The noise I am hearing is the sound of fighting
That is echoing through the streets
The noise of war is resounding through the city
I can feel
I am experiencing a sensation
Cold metal steel
I am sensing the sensation of cold metal
The rhythm of death
The pattern of violence
Is burning in my mind all the time
The memory of violence is constantly on my mind
Running through the night
I am moving quickly in the dark
To my master
To the one who commands me
With thoughts of destruction in my brains
I am thinking of causing harm and damage
Out of control
I am unable to be managed
I can hear the warlord calling :
I hear the voice of the commander calling out
Give your soul
Surrender yourself completely
The bells of fire
The sound of burning
Ringing out so loud :
Echoing with great intensity
Back to attack !
We are returning to engage in battle
Drums of the night make me wild
The sound of drums at night is driving me crazy
The hounds of hell are getting closer
The forces of evil are drawing near
With their gleaming eyes
Their eyes are shining fiercely
