Yngwie Malmsteen lyrics
Album: Facing the Animal [1998]
| Braveheart | |
|
Closing my mouth
before I scream
No-one can shake
my self-esteem
Whisper my name
confuse my mind
To me it's the same
if I'll survive
This game you can't win
Who is free from sin
I won't be afraid
My soul will remain
Go on and sleep
the sleep of the just
If your conscience is clean
do what you must
One day you will know
I was a friend, not foe
I won't be afraid
My soul will remain
Let go of your hate
I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
My soul will remain
let go of your hate
I won't be afraid, oh no...

| Facing the Animal | |
|
Sinking my teeth
into you
Sweet obscenity
You're in too deep
for your own good
I'm commanding thee
Succumb to me
set me free
Facing the animal
Walking the higher ground
Lost in a ritual
I close your eyes
and kiss you twice
Facing the Animal
The scent of your skin
Overpowers me
there is no remedy
It comes from within
the divinity
I just can't resist
Must admit
I'm losing it
Facing the animal
Facing the animal, yeah
Lost in a ritual

| Enemy | |
|
What an enemy
You became to me
Lived a fantasy
An illusion
Built scenery
Played to the gallery
like so many we
Never could agree
All the pain that I
Had to hide inside
Made me realize
I was starved
Tried so hard to be
Anyone but me
Everyone could see
So, I've opened my eyes
I'm no longer waiting for a miracle
Hold my head up high, the future's now
Though I was colorblind
I read the warning signs
And put the past behind
Down the gutter
Now I finally see
That the enemy
is both in you and me
Yeah, I've opened my eyes
I'm no longer waiting for a miracle
Both feet on the ground, my future's now
No use in waiting for a miracle
Hold my head up high, my future's now

| Sacrifice | |
|
Before my eyes the world is falling
But through all lies
I feel my calling
They always said that I can't do it
But even so I walked right through it.
Why can't you see
The way that it must be
You think you're so strong
You know that you are wrong.
Come on woman
Just gimme a touch
You gotta know I'm not asking too much
Once a king always a king
All I want is everything.
You always thought that you were so cool
You used to say that I was a fool
And all this time you were just a tool
You couldn't see that I made the rules.
I have to feel
I know this is for real
I gotta live
I want all you can give.
Come on woman
Just gimme a touch
You gotta know I'm not asking too much
Once a king always a king
All I want is everything.

| Like an Angel - For April | |
|
I've been searching for you
for so long
My life's been sacrificed
I've been longing for truth
And now I have found
all that in you
Like an angel you came to me
And now I see
The stranger in me is finally free
To feel true love
From heaven I knew you were born
on the wings of love
you were brought to me
i've been longing for truth
journeyed so far
to be with you
Like an angel you came to me
And now I see
The stranger in me is finally free
To feel true love
|
| My Resurrection | |
|
Ask yourself where you're
heading for.
Deviate - no need
to conform.
All it takes is some
confidence.
Seize the day, it might not
come again.
Only the strong will survive
Stand tall and never say die
Come out from where you hide
No need to swallow your pride
Only the strong will survive
get up and reach for the sky
Don't wait for no-one and
Don't let your heart be denied
Face the truth and
control your fate.
Set the pace
never hesitate.
All that scares you and
makes you doubt
Break the silence, just
spit it out.

| Another Time | |
|
Feeling restless
Crave for company
never gave me
Any room to breathe
Intuition
Soon made me wise
As you ran out of
Alibis
Took time to draw the line
That I can't deny
Nothing is plain or black and white
You fight like a tired soldier
Shielded by wounded pride
Always pretending to be strong
Desperately waiting for
Another time, another place
I don't care no more
I am the one you can't replace
A fact you can't ignore
Can you face it
I'm forever gone
Dug your own grave
Shot with your own gun

I've been searching for you
for so long
My life's been sacrificed
I've been longing for truth
And now I have found
all that in you
Like an angel you came to me
And now I see
The stranger in me is finally free
To feel true love
From heaven I knew you were born
on the wings of love
you were brought to me
i've been longing for truth
journeyed so far
to be with you
Like an angel you came to me
And now I see
The stranger in me is finally free
To feel true love

| Alone in Paradise | |
|
All of my life
Needed a reason
to find out who I am
I've had my share
Acts of treason
Slipping right through my hands
What am I waiting for...
Sometimes I feel
Like I live in a dream
Alone in my Paradise Lost
So many years
Is there an answer?
In this castle made of sand
As time passes by
I'm running out of chances
Who will understand
What I am waiting for..
|
| End of My Rope | |
|
Don't make a move
Don't make a sound
I've got my eyes trained on you
The target is found
You waited too long
Soon you'll be gone
I'd rather stand on my own
Ain't no more blanks left to fill
In my list of sins
I'm at the end of my rope
The louder you speak
The less I hear
I gotta let off some steam
and driven by fear
Tell me I'm wrong
'cause this can't go on
I'd rather stand on my own
Ain't no more blanks left to fill
In my list of sins
I'm at the end of my rope
Leave me alone
This can't go on
Not anymore, no
You waited too long
Listen and soon you'll be gone
Tell me I'm wrong
'cause this can't go on
|
| Only the Strong | |
|
I paint a smile on you
'cause you want me to
then I unmask you
laughing in your face
If you had half a mind
I wouldn't even try
But you're so naive
just can't let you be
Make me glorious
and victorious
I'm superior
Time to pay the price
Throw off my disguise
Poison in your veins
So easily deceived
The lie that you believe
Poison in your veins
You follow my advice
and feed my appetite
What you leave behind
I will claim as mine
In the end you'll see
what you're meant to be
Something obsolete
mission is complete
Call me a disgrace
To the human race
I don't give a damn
It's time to pay the price
Throw off my disguise
Poison in your veins
So easily deceived
The lie that you believe
Poison in your veins
|
| Poison in Your Veins | |
|
How many times must I tell you
I will not pretend
Will it ever end
Guess there's a need to condemn
What I defend
Say what you will
In for the kill
I'll stand my ground
At any sacrifice
Tearing my heart out
And serve it to you on a plate
Bitter to the taste
One bite is all you can take
the rest's thrown away
Left on my own
Cold as a stone
No matter what you imply
I'll survive at any sacrifice
I'm walking a wasteland
Where beauty and truth can't be seen
A never ending game
The world keeps on turning but I
will stay the same
