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."
No Way Out
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My refuge � my guard my father
Father, father, father
Fear of the night like a never ending nightmare
I close my eyes my skin is so hot
This smell i know it is so close
Can't understand pain in my heart
I pray to god for mercy
But no-one hears my despair
Destruction in my thoughts
Anger in my veins
I will see you bleeding for the pain you gave to me
I ask you to forgive me
What have i done, what have i done
Every night the same dream
My grief is unbearable
I pray to god for mercy
But no-one hears my despair
Destruction in my thoughts
Anger in my veins
I will see you bleeding for the pain you gave to me
But the way out of the torment is near
The last chance of liberation
Our blood will set my mind free
Free..... forever free.....
In Wizard's song No Way Out, the singer seems to be going through immense emotional and physical pain. The opening lines of the song, "You are my hope, my love, my warmth, my refuge, my guard, my father" indicate that someone close to the singer is the source of their comfort and safety. However, the following lines suggest that this "father" figure has caused the singer pain - "I will see you bleeding for the pain you gave to me." The singer seems to be torn between seeking forgiveness and seeking revenge, as evidenced by the lines "I ask you to forgive me, what have I done, what have I done."
The singer's pain seems to be manifested in a never-ending nightmare, and they can't understand the pain in their heart. They pray to God for mercy, but no one hears their despair. The powerful lines "Destruction in my thoughts, anger in my veins" expands on the intensity of the singer's pain. However, there seems to be a glimmer of hope as the singer sings, "But the way out of the torment is near, the last chance of liberation. Our blood will set my mind free, free...forever free..."
Overall, the song No Way Out explores themes of pain, revenge, and desperation. It's a heartfelt plea for liberation from torment, and the chorus' repetition of "I pray to God for mercy, but no-one hears my despair" adds to the depth of emotion in the song.

I currently own a 2004 ford f150 with the 5.4 3v.
I already did the all the mentioned work you have to do with these engines and it usually runs alright.
Currently have a vacuum issue.
One thing about this truck I hate the most is how hard it is to work on.
I've considered buying an older truck because of this.
Had a buddy that bought a 2010 titan and that truck cost him everything. It eventually got T-boned.
Another buddy was looking for a truck and a cheap 2008 Toyota tundra pop up. I told him to jump at it and don't even think twice about it.
The transmission went out, but it ran perfect after it got fixed.
I'm considering a diesel next or maybe something older, IDK.

scotty thinks every chrysler is crap, and GM, if u went by him everyone should only own a toyota or honda, if it was really up to him they would only make toyota celicas
so basically every vehicle thats not a toyota or honda your going to regret all life decisions you have ever made leading up to that point, according to scotty

I bet the final segment for Toyota doesn’t apply the same now that the 2022 turbos are out. 😂 14:30

I think on the 07 and newer chevys it's mostly a lack of maintenance that causes the AFM to have issues. My 2012 silverado with the 5.3 hasn't had to have the engine opened up ever. it has 290k miles on it currently and runs butter smooth. I use the $4 ac delco filter and mobil 1 oil every 3-5k miles. never had a single engine problem.

I really appreciate how knowledgeable Mrs. Wizard is on the topic of trucks. Very well spoken. As well, the list is absolutely correct. Great video, quality content!

I was at a automotive repair shop several years ago and overheard the owner on the phone telling someone that he hated Toyota! When he got off the phone I asked him why he hates Toyota? He says the dam things never break and he can’t make any money on them! Best endorsement I have ever heard!
