1) Sinner is a German heavy metal band formed in 1980 by vocalist and bassist Mat Sinner (Goddess Shiva, Primal Fear). Their most recent album, 'Mask Of Sanity' was released in January of 2007.
Based in Baden-WĂĽrttemberg, Sinner released their first album, Wild'N'Evil' in 1982. This album, along with the next two ('Fast Decision' and 'Danger Zone') were raw affairs, having little in common with the melodic metal they would later become known for. After many personnel changes, the band saw the addition of Accept's Herman Frank on guitars and the release of 'Touch Of Sin' in 1985. Frank would leave before the next album, 1986's 'Comin' Out Fighting'.
1987 saw the release of 'Dangerous Charm', a much more melodic album than previous efforts, but shortly after this the band took a break and wouldn't be heard of again for five years.
In 1990 Mat Sinner released a solo album called 'Back To The Bullet' with a completely new band. This same band reformed Sinner and released 'No More Alibis' in 1992, an album far heavier than anything Sinner had released before. This renewed vigour coupled with songwriting that far exceeded the band's previous releases not only carried on but strengthened with 'Respect' in 1994 and 'Bottom Line' in 1995, the latter staying in the Japanese national charts for five weeks. Since the reformation the band's reputation had improved immensely, touring as support for bands such as Mr. Big and Savatage as well as headlining their own German tour and releasing a live album. Sinner were to reach even higher peaks though, releasing two hugely successful albums with 'Judgement Day' in 1997 and 'The Nature Of Evil' in 1998 before touring Europe as support for rock giants Deep Purple. 'The Nature Of Evil' was the band's most successful album to date, reaching 63 in the German album charts.
In 1998 Mat Sinner and Tom Naumann, who had been with Sinner since their reformation in 1992 formed Primal Fear with ex-Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers. Mat Sinner has been involved as a driving force in both Sinner and Primal Fear to this day.
In 2000 the band saw its first line-up change in five years as several members left, including guitarist Tom Naumann while ex-Helloween and Gamma Ray's Uli Kusch filled in on drums for 'The End Of Sanctuary'. However, in 2003 the previous 1995-1999 line-up renewed itself and released 'There Will Be Execution' before going quiet again for four years. In the past nine years the band had released six albums, each as good, if not better than the last, proving to be the band's most successful period. This success would continue, as after releasing two more albums with Primal Fear and an album with his pre-Sinner band Goddess Shiva, Mat Sinner brought Sinner back with mainstays Tom Naumann (guitar) and Frank Rössler (keyboards) to release 'Mask Of Sanity' in 2007. This album spawned two popular singles in 'Diary Of Evil' and 'Black' and included a faithful rendition of Thin Lizzy's 'Please Don't Go'.
2) Sinner was British NWOBHM band formed in 1978 which released one single Need Your Love / Beggar / God's in His Heaven (1979).
3) Polish death metal band.
4) Blackened hardcore from Niagara, Ontario, Canada. https://sinnerculture.bandcamp.com/
Last Dance
Sinner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the last dance
The last kiss goodbye
This is the last dance
Our love will never die
I'm walking down the backstreets
She's got her eye on me
And shadows surrounded me
Open eyes beyond the windows
It took only one look
She plays it tough
She breaks the rules
Don't throw it all away
I'm standin' in the rain
Loneliness in an axe that cuts
If you need me call my name
This is the last dance
Then I saw you dancing
In the deep red light
Why can't this night
Go on forever
I guess I tried too much
We were hungry for love
We take it up to the limit
And lose control
She hides her face
It was more than I romance
It's hard to love a man like me
I need another chance
This is the last dance
The last dance
Just call my name
And I'll come running back
Into your life
And if you need my love
Just call my name
This is the last dance
Oh no, no
This is the last dance
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
In "Last Dance," Sinner sings about a doomed love affair that has reached its end. The singer acknowledges that it is the last dance and the last time he and his lover will be together. He describes the scene as he walks down the backstreets while his lover, who has her eye on him, follows him. He admits that he showed her no mercy and shadows surround him, indicating that he is not proud of his behavior. However, he quickly shifts the focus to the present and to his lover's current actions. He reveals that she plays it tough and breaks the rules but warns her to not throw it all away. It is at this moment that the singer realizes that he still has feelings for his lover as evidenced by his being content to stand in the rain and his willingness to come back if she calls his name.
As the song progresses, Sinner switches to a nostalgic tone as he remembers a time when he and his lover were happy. He recounts seeing her dancing in the deep red light and how he wished the night could go on forever. He acknowledges that they tried too much and were hungry for love but ultimately lost control. He admits that she hides her face and that it was more than just romance between them. At this point, he realizes that he needs another chance with her and pleads for her to call his name if she ever needs him. The song ends with Sinner repeating that this is the last dance, but he is willing to come back if she calls his name.
Line by Line Meaning
This is the last dance
The final moment we'll be together
The last kiss goodbye
Our farewell with one last kiss
This is the last dance
The final expression of our love
Our love will never die
Our love will remain eternal
I'm walking down the backstreets
I'm wandering aimlessly
She's got her eye on me
She's watching me closely
I showed her no mercy
I acted without pity
And shadows surrounded me
I'm shrouded in darkness
Open eyes beyond the windows
Windows to the soul can't hide my intentions
It took only one look
It was love at first sight
She plays it tough
She acts strong and unyielding
She breaks the rules
She's not afraid to go against convention
Don't throw it all away
We shouldn't give up on each other
I'm standin' in the rain
I'm alone and exposed
Loneliness in an axe that cuts
The pain of loneliness is sharp and deep
If you need me call my name
I'll answer if you call for me
Then I saw you dancing
I saw you happy and carefree
In the deep red light
In the dim and passionate light
Why can't this night
Why can't this wonderful moment
Go on forever
Last forever instead of ending
I guess I tried too much
I pushed too hard to make things work
We were hungry for love
We craved love and affection
We take it up to the limit
We go to extremes for love
And lose control
We can't contain our passion
She hides her face
She's embarrassed by her feelings
It was more than I romance
It was more than just a fling
It's hard to love a man like me
It's difficult to love someone like me
I need another chance
I want to try again
Just call my name
I'll be there for you
And I'll come running back
I'll rush to be with you
Into your life
To be a part of your world once again
And if you need my love
If you want my affection
This is the last dance
This is our final chance
Oh no, no
We don't want it to end
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
We don't want it to end so soon
