Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn 'round and put himself in front of you
Sometimes it's fun
But then you never know
How far a thing like this might go
All my life I've Waited for a chance
To get right out of here
I could not let it go
We've got the power
We are divine
We have the guts to follow the sign
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
We are the ones to cover the throne
Try if you can to come where we have gone
You may achieve what can't be simply done
Look back and there you are where we have been
And still there's so much in between
All those years I've traveled 'round this world
Now I am standing here
To make you sing these tunes
And know they'll never let you go
We've got the power
We are divine
We have the guts to follow the sign
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
We are the ones to cover the throne
We've got the power
We are divine
We have the guts to follow the sign
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
We are the ones to cover the throne
We've got the power, we are divine yeah yeah

Can you imagine someone being true
Can you picture someone being genuine and honest
Turn 'round and put himself in front of you
And placing themselves ahead of you
Sometimes it's fun
At times it's enjoyable
But then you never know
But, it's never certain what might happen next
How far a thing like this might go
How far a situation like that could escalate
All my life I've Waited for a chance
Throughout my life I've eagerly anticipated an opportunity
To get right out of here
To leave this place
And when I had it in my hands
And finally when I had it within my grasp
I could not let it go
I refused to relinquish it
We've got the power
We possess the capability
We are divine
We are godly
We have the guts to follow the sign
We possess the courage needed to obey the signals we receive
Extracting tensions from sources unknown
Extracting stresses from unfamiliar places
We are the ones to cover the throne
We are the ones who will protect our rightful place of power
Try if you can to come where we have gone
Attempt to reach where we have succeeded if possible
You may achieve what can't be simply done
You might accomplish what appears to be impossible
Look back and there you are where we have been
Look back, and you'll find yourself where we were before
And still there's so much in between
Yet, there's still much more to come
All those years I've traveled 'round this world
For all those years I have explored this world
Now I am standing here
And now I find myself standing here
To make you sing these tunes
To make you sing along with these melodies
And know they'll never let you go
And to be assured that they will always stay with you
We've got the power, we are divine yeah yeah
We have the strength, we are godly, yeah yeah

この曲には最高の思い出が有ります。高校時代、楽器を始めて、バンドを組んでコピーした曲！いくつになっても色褪せへんなぁ！
@carloscardoso7042
I have the best memories of this song. This is the song I copied when I started playing an instrument in high school and formed a band! No matter how old you get, it will never fade!
