[Lyrics]

For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should have said
In the darkness
I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason
To find the time, the place, the hour

Waiting for the winter sun
And the cold light of day
The misty ghost of childhood fears
The pressure is building
And I can’t stay away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Where I was
I had wings that couldn’t fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn’t cry

My emotions
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldn’t feel them
Until the ice began to break

I have no power over this
You know I’m afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
I’m slipping away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
I’m slipping away

I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me…

”Tears Of The Dragon” is a song from Bruce Dickinson’s second solo album, Balls to Picasso,and it was released in 1994.

”Balls to Picasso” is a Hard rock album released in 1994 and is the second effort in Bruce Dickinson’s solo career. The ballad “Tears of the Dragon” stayed for many months on top the of charts in countries like Brazil where Dickinson has a large fanbase.
This record marked the beginning of Dickinson’s collaborations with Roy Z, who would work on many of Dickinson’s later albums including Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny of Souls. Stylistically it departs from Tattooed Millionaire but is still more traditional-sounding than the follow-up album Skunkworks released in 1996. Later, Dickinson said that he and Roy Z were talked into making the album less heavy than it should have been. (Source: Wikipedia)

HammerFall – Secrets – Guitar Hero Custom Song

So I was watching a custom chart of this on YouTube and my jaw dropped. The chart was SO terrible that I instantly went to iTunes and purchased this song just to chart it. I even found a tab to use so that mine wouldn’t turn out as hideous.
_______________

A very fun chart. It’s got some HO/PO sections, a great riff in the verses and the solo is fun and challenging. Nothing extremely hard, but it’s not all that easy!

—–Lyrics—–

In the depths of rock and earth, I took shape
By my father’s lunacy and genius, I built up awarences

Father, engrave, slit
Fill up my veins

My influence spread, my power soared, my legions converted
Holy quest for some, mass grave for others, I eat them all

Amount of learning for my power

Surrounded with legends and distant from others, I copied them yet
Trivial looking although nasty, I bowed to the criteria of a changing world

Into which I fit unduly and prepare my predicted reign
Announcement of the saviours

Protected secret
Manipulated masses
Honored prophecy
Decimated enemies

This failing world
Will be the cocoon of my chrysalis

In search of a neverending evolution
This humanity that believes it’s omniscient
Is getting ready to surrender

Exhausted resources, suffocating nature
Overcrowded areas, non existent tolerance
Ways to a total war with a unique survivor

TMBG – Museum of Idiots Bassline

Eric — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:17:54 +0000

There are no decent tabs for this online that I could find, so I thought this could be a bit of help to any bassists out there. Apart from a couple of mistakes (and a more than dodgy start) this is as accurate as I can get it.

Iron Maiden – The Trooper

Eric — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:02:04 +0000

The Trooper Video, 1983 from the Album Piece of Mind. The Trooper” is a song written by Iron Maiden bass player Steve Harris.

The song is about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War, and is at least partially based upon Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade”, taking the viewpoint of one of the slain troopers, who, in the coverart, is perceived as a bald Eddie. It is known for the galloping triplet sound of its bass and electric guitar, as well as its catchy and memorable riff, and is a crowd favourite at concerts.

It is ranked #24 in Martin Popoff book “The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs Of All Time”. Popoff put together this book by requesting thousands of metal fans, musicians, and journalists to send in their favourite heavy metal songs. Almost 18,000 individual votes were tallied and entered into a database from which the final rankings were derived.

The music video features clips of the charge from the 1936 film The Charge of the Light Brigade, which was controversial due to the deaths of 200 horses and an actor during filming. On the Visions of the Beast DVD, a newer version of the video replaces the film footage with Flash animation by Camp Chaos. In the animation, Eddie – dressed in 19th Century British uniform and wielding two sabers – battles multiple caricatures of George W. Bush, Al Gore and Tipper Gore in a parody of the 2000 US presidential election. At one point, Tipper Gore paints ‘RATED X’ on a cannonball; this is a mocking reference to Tipper’s involvement in the Parents Music Resource Center which successfully attempted to add warning labels to various records – many of them heavy metal – that they deemed inappropriate.

“Sunshine Of Your Love (Bass & Guitar [Semi-Improvised] Jam)”–Cream cover by The Stallions

Eric — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 09:21:28 +0000

Greg: Sorry everybody. This is a very old recording which was actually made immediately after I learned and tried to further teach myself the entire solo to this song on guitar. So I improvised the main riff, by devising a pathetic chord progression following the original roots of each real chord in the actually song by Cream. Hope you guys all enjoy it. ^_^

Craig Stallion: Bass
