1. Wizard is a German Power Metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek. The band was often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". On some albums the lyrics are about battles, metal, war and steel. The exception were the albums Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology, Goochan which is a fantasy story about a witch (written by Volker Leson and author William B. Nuke), Thor which is also about north mythology and ... of wariwulfs and bluotvarwes which is about vampires and werewolfs (written by Wizard and Andre Wiesler, German author).
Wizard played at Wacken Open Air 2002, Bang Your Head!!! 2002, Keep It True 2004, Dokk'em Open Air 2006, Magic Circle Festival 2009 and is in the 2012 line-up of Hammerfest IV. In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27, 2007, titled Goochan. On may 18th, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a three-year break. The band's 2009 album Thor received a positive review from The Pit reviewer Frank Heise, who praised "The Visitor" as the best track on it.
The band's 2011 album ...Of Wariwulfs and Bluotvarwes received a positive review from SLUG Magazine reviewer Dylan Chadwick noting that "well trodden, and admittedly formulaic, it's a resoundingly competent platter of steel-willed, fist pounding heavy metal that'll satisfy the most voracious headbanger's hunger."
Beginning of the End
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three years long
Brother kill brother
Father killed son
No order no law a time full of war
Fear the night
Asgards cock crowed
Heimdall's horn sounds in the night
Einheriers are ready to fight
The beginning-Ragnarfk is coming
Of the end
The beginning
Of the end twilight of the gods
Fenris the dark wolf, breaking his chains
Chasing the sun and the moon
The Midgard snake
Has left the sea of sorrow
Loki rides on a ship made of nails
Right across the world
Satur the giant
Rises with his sons
The song "Beginning of the End" by the Wizard describes the time after the death of the god Baldur, when a period of chaos and destruction spread throughout the land. With no order or law, a three-year-long winter descended upon the world, leading to a time of war where brothers killed each other and fathers killed their own sons. The lyrics depict a world filled with fear and despair, where even the sound of Asgard's cock crowing and the horn of Heimdall signaling the readiness of the Einheriers to fight offer little hope for salvation.
As the song continues, the different forces of destruction are personified through mythical creatures from Norse mythology. Fenris, the dark wolf, breaks free from his chains and chases the sun and the moon across the sky, while the Midgard snake has left the sea of sorrow. Loki, the Norse god of mischief and chaos, rides on a ship made of nails across the world, and Satur, the giant, rises with his sons.
Through these vivid images, the song portrays a gradual unraveling of the world, as different forces of destruction come together to mark "the beginning of the end." The lyrics suggest that this is the twilight of the gods, the final showdown that will ultimately lead to the destruction and rebirth of the world.

[Verse 1]
Knockin' on my door, they tell me it's time to go on
Last check in the mirror to see if anything's wrong
The writing's up on the wall
A warning shot to them all
[Chorus]
My head is spinning
It's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there
So scared
My head is spinning
It's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there
So scared
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Nostradamus predicted a bomb would drop
And all our guitars will be hung in an old pawn shop
Watch us brush off the dust
In heavy metal we trust
Then kick back and read The Sunday Times
[Chorus]
My head is spinning
It's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there
So scared
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Fifteen hundred thousand years
Wouldn't be enough to dry these tears
I'll still be here hangin' on
And on and on
Things will never be the same
Save the pieces of your brain
[Chorus]
My head is spinning
It's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there
So scared
My head is spinning
It's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there
So scared
(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Rockin song! Rivers' mustache must have inspired Ted to grow a beard!

Zack, what is one your favorite Weezer albums?
@MrToast_
i forgot you were a weezer fan zack
@bonhamclackey574
I think Bill and Ted stopped off in 2008 and picked up Weezer. With 2020 being such a mess, we really need their help. Wyld Stallyns and 2008 Weezer hold the keys to our continued existence. They are here to help us remember how to be excellent to each other. Of course having an 8 member double Weezer may pose dangers we're not ready to face, but at the same time will make some most excellent music.
