Speed On
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing cornered, my back against the wall
The knife against my throat
With white knuckles and blood on my teeth
I am going to war

Speed on
Speed on and on
No retreat, I'm never looking back
I leave the Devil in the dust
No remorse, I won't shed a single tear
I race towards tomorrow

Speed on
Speed on and on
Speed, speed on

You can try and stop me, my attack will hit you
Like a ram
I'll defeat you, I will kill and eat you
I run through you where you stand


Speed on
Speed on and on
Speed, speed
Speed on




Speed on and on
Speed, speed on

"Ravenous" and "The Black Flame" are two of my most favorite discs, period. Lots'o'love for Wolf.

Having been in high school in the 80s, Wolf brings back the glory days of pure metal.

Michel Zenner

good old heavy metal will never die !

HEFENZY

Never heard heavy metal riffs in drop Db tuning. These guys have more metalcore riffing than classic. But song structure and vocals are true heavy metal

Sara Taylor

Why have I not heard of these guys before? This is metal at it's best!

Robert Larkin

Veta Kay

Guys are awesome!!!Voice,music,lyrics!Back to 80s!

Damian Frost

actually to me they have always sounded more like Iron Maiden than anyone else especially singing Genocide on the Black Wings album, these guys absolutely rock and it doesn't matter who they sound like, this is metal in it's purest form right here.
