Shining Like Gold

There was a time when I found myself in a cold embrace
looking up that hill I'd gone down real fast
The world around seemed to slip away, I knew I had to find
something to fill my empty glass

I've been so mistreated, robbed, defeated, but free to see it
Love hides the truth

Miles and miles, falling off
With every step I do I'm getting back to love
Don't turn back when the night is cold
and darkness is closing my sword is out, shining like gold

Turned around, took the heavy load on a rocky road
but I'd never tire though I felt every stone
Wind was blowing into my face, I went on in haste
strong was my desire for coming home
Got so frustrated, life light faded, cursed and hated
Fire in the rain

Miles and miles, falling off
With every step I do I'm getting back to love
Don't turn back when the night is cold
and darkness is closing my sword is out, shining like gold

Miles and miles, falling off
With every step I do I'm getting back to love
Say your prayers, if you got one to say
I know for sure, I'll be home again
Don't turn back when the night is cold
and darkness is closing my sword is out, shining like gold

Ein nicht ganz unumstrittenes, auf ein druckvolles Gitarrenriff ausgelegtes Lied, das nicht unüberlegt den letzten Platz auf dem ersten Album bekommen hat. Die größten Probleme bei der Studioaufnahme gab es wegen dem Sound, der nicht so recht hin wollte. Längeres herumprobieren und basteln führte schließlich zu dem jetzigen. Highlights des Liedes sind interessante Klassikläufe, viele Solostellen und das Fadeout-Solo am Ende. Der abrupte Wechsel von heavy Distortion zu einem leichteren cleanen Sound, bringt heute noch einige blended Köpfe zum Staunen.
