| 1. Power-Dive
[G. Feldhausen]
We're dancing with the devil
We do it all night long
We offer you a bad life
Inside of hell and outside of the law
We're riding with a demon
We load those guns to shoot
Spread the arms and let us fall
Innocence is no excuse, oh no
[Bridge:]
Down that lo |

Эта молодая группа играет классический старенький хэви метал в духе Accept да Motorhead. Тематика песен - воздушные бои и все такое. Не знаю, что-то не очень меня этот диск зацепил, хоть и в Alive его расхвалили донельзя. Может просто мне не знакома еще ностальгия по 80-ым (мелок тогда я был), но думаю, что металлеры постарше пустят-таки
скупую слезу, поскольку в настоящее время такой музон почти никто не играет. Что касается таланта музыкантов, то конечно он есть, но, в принципе, они собрали все пенки 80-ых
и все. Вокал напоминает чем-то Biff'а Byford'а, местами Лемми Килмистера. Вобщем, добавить тут больше нечего, диск
можно купить для коллекции, а можно и пройти мимо. |

Журнал Alive в свое время внес путаницу в классификацию альбома. Немцы из Кельна Gun Barrel играют самый натуральный рок-н-ролл, временами замедляясь до блюза, временами утяжеляясь до павер-метала. Как они сами говорят - "Старая школа рулит!". Играю парни технично, не особо навороченно, но четко и весело. Соло-секций почти нет, но проигрыши безупречны и песни не сильно затянуты. Весьма радует сильный мощный вокал. Звук на всех песнях скорее "металлический", но пусть это не введет слушателя в заблуждение. Из песен можно выделить веселые Power-dive, Only a Passenger, Straight Down to Hell, Back to Suicide, We Will Carry On, блюзовую Gone With the Wind, ударную концовку альбома Take Me to the Highway. Атмосфера альбома на сто процентов соотвествует обложке и фотографиям музыкантов в буклете - полная бесшабашность, полеты на высоких скоростях, дух этакого рок-н-ролльно-пилотского братства. Оценку выставить тяжеловато, потому что сравнивать не с чем - истых рок-н-ролльщиков почти не осталось. Пусть будет 8 - альбом хорош и способен разогнать депрессию даже у мертвеца. |

That's where we win and where we lose you can't deny the truth
Take this hand and follow me I'll show you something new
We take you to the other side there's nothing else to lose
[Chorus:]
Power - dive, deep into the night
Power dive, do you wanna change your life
We're living at the crossroads
This world is spinning round
We know the way we're going
Nobody can bring us down, oh no
Ready for the countdown
A point of no return
Don't wanna change the world
But we wanna let the fire burn
[Bridge:]
Down that lonely, open road where we have learned to fight
That's where we win and where we lose you can't deny the truth
Take this hand and follow me I'll show you something new
We take you to the other side there's nothing else to lose
[Chorus:]
Power - dive, deep into the night
Power - dive, that will change your life
Up and down deep in the ground rising high into the sky
Falling down into a hole, it's a power - dive
Ready for the countdown let the fire burn to a point
A point of no return break all limits don't think twice, power - dive
[Bridge:]
Down that lonely, open road where we have learned to fight
That's where we win and where we lose you can't deny the truth
Take this hand and follow me I'll show you something new
We take you to the other side there's nothing else to lose
[Repeat Chorus]
2. Only A Passenger
[G. Feldhausen]
All of your life you've tried to survive
You're working so hard to get a real good start
You won't be a loser, you will be the first one
You can't break free, that's your destiny
[Chorus:]
The time has come to say goodbye
Your rising sun will fall
Grim Reaper comes to speak his words
You know that you'll always be:
Only a passenger
We are only passengers
You win one battle you don't win the war
You're standing so tall with your back on the wall
The iron wheel breaks you, too tired to defend
Are you really a rich man when it comes to the end
[Chorus:]
The time has come to say goodbye
Your rising sun will fall
Grim Reaper comes to speak his words
You see that you'll ever be:
Only a passenger
We are only passengers
And when you are broken the last word is spoken
Fire is burned-out, what about your pride
Look into the mirror tell me what do you see
Here comes your last trip, now you'll be free
[Chorus:]
The time has come to say goodbye
Your rising sun will fall
Grim Reaper comes to speak his words
You know that you'll always be
Only a passenger, only a passenger
Only a passenger, we are only passengers
You are a passenger, we are only passengers
And we will break free
3. For All Like You
[G. Feldhausen]
I was born under a bad sign out in the cold
In the darkness I can feel my burning soul
Mama don't accept all the things I do
But I still walk on my way and I think that's true
[Chorus:]
So Mama this Rocksong is just for you
And I'm singing my sad song for all like you, yes I do
It's a real hard life you know it's the unfair game
Feels like black clouds have frozen all my pain
No use crying cause I can't go back
Seems like white light turned into black
[Chorus:]
So I'm singing my Rocksongs to find the truth
And I'm singing my sad song for the ones like you
Rain's falling down deep on the ground
Hope that it will wash away my pain
I open the door someone's closed before
Hope to find what I'm searching for
[Bridge:]
Will I find the secrets you'll keep from me
I'll break that chain to set me free
This is my life there's no compromise
I swear that I won't go down again
Behind the door is what I'm looking for
The reason for the things I've done before
[Bridge:]
I will find the secrets you'll keep from me
I'll break that chain to set me free
I'm singing my Rocksong to find the truth
I'm singing this Rocksong just for you
I know sooner or later I will pay the price
Don't tell me something else I don't need no lies
Will someone come along to play my game
If you think you've got the courage just call my name
[Chorus:]
I'm singing this Rocksong to find the truth
And I'm singing my sad song for all like you
[Bridge:]
I will find the secrets you'll keep from me
I'll break that chains to set me free
I'm singing my Rocksong to find the truth
I'm singing my Rocksong just for you
I was born under a bad sign out in the cold
Born under a bad sign out in the cold
Born under a bad sign out in the cold
4. Bomb Attack
[G. Feldhausen]
Let the sound take you back to "Thunder & road"
Raise up these dirty hands into the air
Let metal speak, gonna set you free and let the power flow
Won't you feel the touch of evil, or beware
Have you got a gun, we are on the run to break the law
My vital spark is poison in my veins
Let me ride the spirit horse into the hunting grounds
We believe in metal, we stand proud and tall
[Chorus:]
Don't you hear the bomb attack
The hard attack
Won't you hear that bomb attack
I don't need no preacher man telling me what to do
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Set the night on fire, takes you higher, let the thunder roll
All metal maniacs out of control
[Chorus:]
Don't you hear the bomb attack
The hard attack
Won't you hear that bomb attack
Don't you hear the bomb attack
The hard attack
Won't you hear that bomb attack
Don't you hear the bomb attack
5. Gate Of God
[G. Feldhausen]
A child was born in the valley of kings
In the dark age of the war and pain
His father told him how to fight
And he gave the son the sword of might
To the king of the lords
The king of the lords
Find your way, defend the poor
You've got the courage and be shure
The kingdom will be born again
You will find the way to the neverland
The gate of the gods
The gate of the gods
And he moves Into a battle start the crusade
The warrior of death
He's got a heart full of rage, the power and the blade
The warrior of death
Out in the fields, they fall down one by one
Nothing can stop the king of the lords the king and the god
Tell me my father, tell me who I am
Am I the chosen one, will I be the king
And will I go to find the way,
To the Promised land
Tell me if I will survive and will I carry on
The gate of the gods
Years gone by and the time has come
People said he's the chosen one
The kingdom it was born again
But he couldn't find the neverland
The gate of the gods
The gate of the gods
He told his people: "Fight again"
They ask him how to find that land
He said they have to go to war
And they will find it at the end
And he moves into the battle and start the crusade
The warrior of death
He's got a heart full of rage, the power and blade
The warrior of death
Out in the fields, they fall down one by one
Nothing can stop the king of the lords the king and the god
Tell me my father, tell me who I am
Am I the chosen one, will I be the king
And will I go to find the way,
To the Promised land
Tell me if I will survive and will I carry on
The gate of the gods
Listen the last battle cry
Gravestone tell's you that he died
People said that in the end
He has found the neverland
6. Straight Down To Hell
[G. Feldhausen]
You take the bullet
Load your gun to kill
Will it find a victim
Fate will take it there
The smell of death surrounds you
When the bullet find its target
You wash your hands in innocence
But the next one could be you
[Chorus:]
Nobody will surrender
Don't wanna fall down
Straight down to hell
Do you think that you will
Living here forever
You're gonna fall down
Straight down to hell
Now you are broken
Someone's watching you
Reaper's knocking at your door
Spend a day in hell with you
Too late to put your guns away
Last bullet's from the Reaper
He comes to pay it back to you
Your nightmare's coming true
[Chorus:]
Now you will surrender
Don't wanna fall down
Straight down to hell
Do you think that you will
Living here forever
You're gonna fall down
Straight down to hell
7. We Will Carry On
[G. Feldhausen]
Yes we all stand together as firm as a rock
No time for losers no step back cause we can't stop
All time winners all the time on the run
Don't try to stop me cause we will overcome
Are you ready to fly high
Spread your metal-wings
We wanna cross, we wanna cross the sky
Even when we die
Inside outside knocking on my door
Up down turn around give a little more
People say we're crazy but we wanna have fun
Take it to the limit and fly into the sun
Are you ready to fly high
Spread your metal-wings we wanna cross the sky
Prime time my time take it to the sun
Pump it up stand in line feel like number one
[Chorus:]
We will carry on, together we are strong
No one out there's alone
Yes we'll carry on, no one stays alone
Always side by side
We carry on, we carry on
Don't look back on your life just go on to do it right
It's a rise it's a fall but everybody stand proud and tall
All time winners all the time on the run
Don't try to stop me cause we will overcome
Are you ready to fly high
Spread your metal-wings we wanna cross the sky
Prime time my time take it to the sun
Pump it up stand in line feel like number one
[Chorus:]
We will carry on, together we are strong
No one out there's alone
Yes we'll carry on, no one stays alone
Always side by side
We carry on, we carry on
8. Shut Up Or Lose Me
[G. Feldhausen]
He plays guitar and feels so fine
Heavy metal all the time
Sometimes fast sometimes slow
They called him Mr. Rock`n?Roll
One day how could he know
A woman came along to stop the show
He said: You're so pretty yes I know
But the boys are gonna tell me: Let her go!
[Chorus:]
Shut up, shut up
Shut up or lose me
Shut up, shut up
Shut up or lose me
He plays with the girl and feels so fine
In a pink bedroom all the time
Sometimes fast sometimes slow
After a while it's a boring show
One day how good to know
The boys are back playing Rock`n?Roll
He said: You're still pretty yes I know
Have a drink on me and let me go
[Chorus:]
Shut up, shut up
Shut up or lose me
Shut up, shut up
Shut up or lose me
[Repeat Chorus]
9. Gone With The Wind
[G. Feldhausen]
I'm walking down along a desert road
The black sun's coming down and I can feel the cold
Look into the mirror that never lies
Would it bring me back to take me to the other side, oh
On my way of life I left my trace behind
I sometimes had a feeling this is the end of the line
Take me to the stars and let me die
I will come again but I ain't the same
[Chorus:]
Yes it's gone with the wind
But I can't take it alone
And I wanna cry out
But I still run around
And now I run like the wind
And I'm falling down
And I wanna cry out
But I still run around
Is it gone with the wind
Riding on a train I can't control
Takes me to a place I've never been before
The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by
Time to change that life and say goodbye
[Chorus:]
Yes it's gone with the wind
But I can't take it alone
And I wanna cry out
But I still run around
And now I run like the wind
And I'm falling down
And I wanna cry out
But I still run around
Is it gone with the wind
Still I'm walking down a desert road
The black sun's coming down and I can feel the cold
I look into the mirror that never lies
It will bring me back to the other side
[Repeat Chorus]
10. Back To Suicide
[G. Feldhausen]
Fall back on suicide
Ride the highway, feeling strong
Feel the power, life goes on
Out of the dark into the light
Strong enough for another fight
You've got the wings and learned to fly
Up into the open sky
Got the might to break that wall
That was built around your soul
[Chorus:]
Now you spread your wings to fly
Tomorrow you fall back on suicide
Falling down in a deepest hole
Lose the power, lose control
Your broken wings gonna let you fall
Nobody can hear hear your call
Will anybody save your soul
Take away that pain from you
Will anybody understand
Your solution at the end
[Chorus:]
Now you spread your wings to fly
Tomorrow you fall back on suicide
Now you spread your wings to fly
Tomorrow you fall back on suicide
[Bridge:]
Spread your wings and fly, oho
Do you really wanna die, oho
Back to suicide, oho
Fall back on, fall back on, fall back on suicide
[Chorus:]
Now you spread your wings to fly
Tomorrow you fall back on suicide
Now you spread your wings to fly
Tomorrow you fall back on suicide
Fall back on, fall back on, fall back on suicide
11. She's Coming Over Top
[G. Feldhausen]
It was one those nights I'd better turned off the light
But I'd been out drinking with the boys
Then I saw that woman like a superstar she's coming
As I saw that face it was too late
[Chorus:]
She's coming over top, coming over top
And she don't wanna stop, don't wanna stop
Oh yea she's coming over top, coming over top
And she won't give it up, don't give it up
Oh yea she's coming over top
After 2 a.m. when I was drinking again
I fell head over heels in love
She was looking in my eyes
And I couldn't tell her lies
When she took me upstairs for a ride
[Chorus:]
She's coming over top, coming over top
And she don't wanna stop, don't wanna stop
Oh yea she's coming over top, coming over top
And she won't give it up, don't give it up
Oh yea she's coming over top
It was a long wild night and I held her tight
And I told her not to go away
I saw you in the stars wanna paint you on my arm
And I'm ready for the price I have to pay
[Chorus:]
She's coming over top, coming over top
And she don't wanna stop, don't wanna stop
Oh yea she's coming over top, coming over top
And she won't give it up, don't give it up
Oh yea she's coming over top
12. Take Me To The Highway
[G. Feldhausen]
I'm living on a highway
In a world of Rock`n?Roll
I'm living on an endless road
In a neverending show
And sometimes when I'm tired
I keep saying it's too much
But I know that I'm a liar
Cause that's what lights my fire
[Chorus:]
Take me to the highway, can't stop playing Rock`n?Roll
Let me go
I hear the people talking
Hear them talking from behind
They say that I'm a bad guy
And I know that they are right
I don't need no big jet
I don't need no limousine
All I need is Rock`n?Roll
Satisfaction guaranteed
[Chorus:]
Take me to the highway, can't stop playing Rock`n?Roll
Let me go
Take me to that highway, don't stop my dirty show
Let me go
Into a big, bad rolling show
Another place another town
I still can't get enough
Walking out on another stage
I'm made of sterner stuff
And sometimes when I'm tired
I keep saying it's too much
But I know that I'm a liar
Cause thats what lights my fire
[Chorus:]
Take me to the highway, can't stop playing Rock`n?Roll
Let me go
Take me to that highway, don't stop my dirty show
Let it roll
Take me to that highway, let me go
Take me to that highway, let it roll
