Píseň: Ride Like The Wind (Japan Bonus)

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Elements
A house made of cards and no time to run 
Unfolding the path before me 
Together with you and not making sense 


And slid from my grasp, that moment in time 
When everything stood to reason 
The clarity gone, I wait for my fate 


Black clouds gathering 
Wind, carry the word of my fate 


Ride, ride like the wind 


It's fanning my flame, too bright to be real 
It's burning my eyes to ashes 
I'm one with the steel, too bright to be real 


Black clouds gathering 
Wind, carry the word of my fate 


Ride, ride like the wind
