Power Metal: "Through the Fire and Flames" - Dragonforce

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shore

On the blackest plains in hells domain
We watch them as they go
Through fire and pain and once again we know

Tonight we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They raise their hands to the heavens above
with resentment in their eyes.
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from the time in the fallen land
To a light beyond the stars

In your blackest dreams we do believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time is gone

Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Whoah, whoah, whoooooah, whoah, whoah, whoooooah

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if i possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Through the Fire and Flames es el single que ha lanzado a la fama recientemente al grupo inglés Dragonforce, gracias a su aparición en el videojuego Guitar Hero III como último tema desbloqueable (y difícil de cojones he de añadir). El tema es la primera pista del tercer álbum de la banda, titulado Inhuman Rampage. El single alcanzó un discreto #86 en el US Billboard Hot 100, pero el grupo vio como las ventas de su disco aumentaban drásticamente después de aparecer en el mencionado videojuego.

El grupo inglés, que ha rechazado los apelativos de Nintendo Metal, Extreme Power Metal o Bon Jovi on speed, tachandolos de etiquetas raras que les intenta poner la gente, está trabajando en un nuevo disco, veamos con que nos sorprenden.

Por cierto, la canción originalmente tiene una duración de 7:21, pero la editaron para hacer el videoclip, acabando en 4:59.
