Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Klytus, I'm bored. What play-thing can you offer me today?"
"An obscure body in the S-K System, your majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet Earth"
"How peaceful it looks"

"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha"
"Hahahaha, most effective your majesty. Will you destroy this... Earth?"
"Later, I like to play with things a while... before annihilation"
"Hahahahaha"

Flash! Ah-ah
Savior of the universe

Flash! Ah-ah
He'll save every one of us

(Hahahahaha)

Flash! Ah-ah
He's a miracle

Flash! Ah-ah
King of the impossible

He's for every one of us
Stand for every one of us
He saves with a mighty hand
Every man, every woman
Every child, it's the mighty Flash

Flash! Ah-ah

Flash! Ah-ah
He'll save every one of us

Just a man with a man's courage
You know he's nothing but a man
And he can never fail
No one but the pure at heart
May find the Golden Grail
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Flash!





"My God, we're moving!"
"For God's sake, strap yourselves down"

Damals waren die Musiksender wie Viva noch Musiksender. Immer noch ein toller Track.

@supahtyp

It is already 11 years old.
I still can remember the first time, I've heard that track, in a set by Melanie Di Tria in 2003.
This was the second track in her set, the first track was "get on up" by DJ Rush.
