Stateside heavy metal enthusiasts are now beginning to catch the fever for well-played balls-out metal with melody. Dragonheart, the new album, presents 11 new tracks on the interface of double bass rhythms, straightforward guitar riffs and impressive vocals. "We grew up with the great metal bands of the Eighties, particularly Judas Priest and Iron Maiden from England and Accept from Germany," drummer Eckhard Ostra explains. "Our music doesn't even begin to pick up on short-lived trends or colourless fads, we do what we love and what we definitely do best: classic heavy metal."
They are on the Magic Circle Festival 2007 DVD V.1 in which they played alongside "Manowar","D.S.G","HolyHell","GammaRay",Etc...

Open Fire
Messiah's Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm much too fast for your tired world
I need some rapid action
In the dead of night
Oh it feels so right

Trapped inside your boring hell
I'll cut the leash of security
Oh it feels so free

Made of steel
Power's all you feel
Got it all
I'm gonna wake the dead
Out to kill
Gonna break my will
I got you in my crossfires

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon open fire
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon it takes me higher
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon open fire
Time after time you'll be mine

My heart beats like a giant drum
When I blaze a trail
Don't call for sanity
I'm full of energy

You might say I'm a maniac
When I bang on your door
Don't ask for charity
For my gun and me

Made of steel
Power's all you feel
Got it all
I'm gonna wake the dead
Out to kill
Gonna break your will
I got you in my crossfires

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon open fire
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon it takes me higher
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon open fire
Time after time you'll be mine

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon open fire
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon it takes me higher
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon open fire
Time after time you'll be mine





Aim the target, alright
