Full Metal Cruise Anthem

Created by WackenHelge
05/03/2013

Ahoi Metalheads!

 

The sound of the Full Metal Cruise is not only played by the bands, but there‘s also the official Full Metal Cruise anthem Hard on the wind. It was written by Avantasia guitar player Sascha Paeth, who will also play on board with Eric Martin and hold a guitar workshop.

 

What‘s even cooler: The anthem will be played on board at the arrival at Hamburg harbor at the 11th of May by the Full Metal Cruise All-Stars. So every landlubber will know that we are coming home.

 

You can download Hard on the wind HERE

 

Here are the lyrics, too, so you can learn them by heart:

 

Hard On The Wind

 

We're living in our world of plenty

and sail the seven seas

we came together here

to celebrate the steel

 

as we see the mainland's fading

we're ready for the go

and as our temper's rising

we're heading for the show

 

the ground is shaking - the ship is quaking

we feel the energy

nothing can ever take away

what we witness to see

 

come on let's face it

this could go on forever

 

hard on the wind

we're living a dream

we're breaking the boundaries of what we believed

a call for the wild, a journey of dreams

we're the kings of the world for a while

 

and like the wind keeps singing

the same old song again

each day's a new beginning

as the memory remains

 

like steel can carry us away

across the ocean wide

metal makes our souls fly high

and let's our minds unite

 

come on let's face it

this should go on forever

 

hard on the wind

we're living a dream

we're breaking the boundaries of what we believed

a call for the wild, a journey of dreams

we're the kings of the world for a while

 

hard on the wind

a fire ahead

together we live

these moments so unbelievable

 

and when our time here's over

we'll look back with grace

yearning for another marvel

ready for another pace

 

and each time from now on

when the cold wind beats my skin

I will be reminded of

the beauty of that din

 

come on let's face it

this could go on forever

 

hard on the wind

we're living a dream

we're breaking the boundaries of what we believed

a call for the wild, a journey of dreams

we're the kings of the world - kings of the world

 

hard on the wind

we're living a dream

we're breaking the boundaries of what we believed

a call for the wild, a journey of dreams

we're the kings of the world

 

We're living in our world of plenty

and sail the seven seas

we came together here

to celebrate the steel
