The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Anyone who is willing to help me decypher some lines of their two compilation tracks that are the best the band ever wrote along with Live Free Or Die? Please don't step in to tell us once again how average you do find them, it's obviously a task for those who like them

NIGHT RYDER

NIGHT RYDER RIDES AGAIN TONIGHT
HE’S RUNNING UNDER COVER UNDER THE NEON LIGHT
THAT BURNING DESIRE

HE BURNS LIKE A FIRE

IMMORTAL THAT FEELING

FULL MOON IS ON THE RISE...........

DOWN HERE HE’S RUNNING
IMMORTAL THAT FEELING

NIGHT RYDER RIDES THE NEON LIGHT

TAKE A CHANCE NOW
‘CAUSE IT’S...............
.................

LET’S KICK THE FACE OF WEAK I don't hear it like that.

DAY OF JUDGEMENT
FOR OUR PLAN OF ATTAK

FEEL THE THUNDER
FROM DOWN UNDER
IT’S TIME WE TAKE OVER
AND TAKE CONTROL OF IT

So far I hear that.

Yes, I forgot the "THE" before RISE & THROUGH THE STREETS sounds correct.

I added them to my version. I'll listen to PLAN OF ATTAK again later. Thanks for the help!

I've tried:

NIGHT RYDER
Night Ryder rides again tonight
He’s running under cover under the neon light
That burning desire
He’s got to fill that need
He burns like a fire
On the dark he will feed

No one can cage you
You can’t even feel
Down here he’s running
Immortal is that feeling

Full moon is on the rise
Shining down its glare
Through the streets of the city and the night is in the air
Burning desire
He’s got to fill that need
He burns like fire
On the dark he will feed

No one can cage you
You can’t even feel
Down here he’s running
Immortal is that feeling

The Night Ryder rides the neon light
It burns forever bright
Night Ryder ride the night

It sounds right and 'feed' makes sense although I don't hear it very clearly. Only with this I'm not sure, I hear the last word beginning with an 's'

daniel wrote: You can’t even feel

Thanks again for your contribution, daniel

I've got a few lines for the 2nd song too, going to sit down and give both some more listens in a few minutes.

I agree it sounds like an 's' at the beginning, it's one of those things where it doesn't sound like anything that makes sense, like what turned out to be 'cajyt' in 'Knights of Fire'. I think if anyone is going to sing along to this track they should just sing 'you can'tst even seal' haha cos at least then it sounds the same

Here's what I've got for 'Plan of Attack' so far; the first verse, phew, JUST figured that out;

PLAN OF ATTACK

Take our chance now, cos the storm it begins
Don’t look backward, we must live in (today?)
Let’s keep the pace up, We can fall in the pack
Lay our guns down, for our Plan of Attack

Feel the thunder
From down under
It’s time; it is time we take all of it
Take control of it

Have to wonder, how they all ...
Got to ... ... ... ... ... ...
Keep your distance, don’t you stand in our way,
We are mighty, we grow stronger each day

Hear the thunder
From down under
It’s time; it is time we take all of it
Take control of it
I just can’t keep
Running for my life

...

Definitely an 's' (compare it to when he says "feeling"). I think it is "You can't even see him".

daniel wrote:Have to wonder, how they all ...
Got to ... ... ... ... ... ...

Having a real hard time with this song, but this is the best I could make out for this line:

Got to wonder, are they all out for blood
Got to ??? when it's best understood

in Plan of Attack,chorus Running from My life is what sounds to me


btw these are the best 2 songs this band ever made,love them both and ive been trying to understand the lyrics for a while...i love this thread

daniel wrote: Take our chance now, cos the storm it begins

I could hear 'backward' and 'lay our guns' but couldn't come up with something that would make sense. This verse must be correct. Now that I'm listening to it again I doubt if he is actually singing anything at all after 'live'.

Keir wrote:Got to wonder, are they all out for blood

It's a tough one but I do hear those and I suggest 'Got to blast it'

I'll combine the versions later, I think very few words are missing now.

Thanks everyone for their contribution, it feels good to know that people do care for what they are singing about!

(?)'s still open to suggestions

I'm always up for a challenge of this sorts, so here's what my half deaf earwax clogged ears could make out:

GOT TO WONDER ARE THEY ALL OUT to spill BLOOD

This blast it/glance it/grasp it our whatever he says is to way out there. Let's just say the singer f*cked up on it

As far as the line in Night Ryder goes I hear 'you're touched' instead of 'you can't', but that doesn't make much sense.

I'm updating it with this suggestion since I do hear it like that and it makes sense too.

... DON’T LOOK BACKWARD, WE MUST LIVE in it

I don't know...it could be anything, updating it but with '?'

The other line I think is correct as it is, but if someone else hears it like you do I'll update it as well
