Attack!
Yngwie J. Malmsteenґs Rising Force Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living the life that dreams are made of
Dying proud, dying free
Dying the death of heroes
But what you've done now
Makes me wanna cry, keep on pushing
Well, you've pushed too far
You must die now
Once we were free
Living in perfect harmony
It's much too late
And now there's no turning back
Attack
Attack
Attack
Out of the blue, out of the sky
The world comes crashing down
Now it's out of true, we've been blown sky high
And the king has lost his crown
We must be fearless and be relentless
Kill these insects, show no mercy
You must die now
You must die now
Once we were free
Living in perfect harmony
It's much too late
And now there's no turning back
Attack
Attack
Attack
Once we were free
Living in perfect harmony
It's much too late
Now there's no turning back
Attack
Attack
Attack
