Walk on Fighting - Lyrics - Edguy
Edguy was founded in 1992 by 14-year-old students Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch and Dirk Sauer. The name "Edguy" was an affectionate epithet for their math teacher at the time. In 1994, the band released two demos, Evil Minded and Children of Steel. These tapes were sent to many record labels, all of whom rejected the band, believing they would be unsuccessful in the music business. Undeterred, they self released their âunofficialâ debut album, Savage Poetry, in 1995. They signed with AFM Records shortly after, who offered to re-release Savage Poetry with more widespread distribution. The band rejected this proposal in favour of recording a new album, Kingdom of Madness, which was released in 1997, but drummer Dominik Storch left the band shortly after. 1998 saw the release of their second album, Vain Glory Opera, with friend Frank Lindenthal filling in on drums. This album helped expose Edguy to a wider audience, thanks in part to guest appearances from Timo Tolkki and Hansi Kürsch . The band was joined by new drummer Felix Bohnke and bassist Tobias âEggiâ Exxel later that year, allowing Tobias Sammet to solely focus on vocals .
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
The ivory is cold, where is my desire?
In a cage of gold, not a trace of fire
Ice cold as ice, I'm heading for tomorrow
I am tired of waiting, I'll beg and steal and borrow
Life is to short to be wasted
So why do I sit around
Dance on the edge of a razor
Get off the ground and I'll never return
Walk on fighting
Don't look ever back
Walk on fighting
Don't you look back to your cries
The phone it waits in silence, no message left by you
There is no use in crying. I know I've been a fool
Now it is too late, No words left to say
I gotta call it fate, forget and look away
Life is to short to be wasted
So why do I sit around
Dance on the edge of a razor
Get off the ground and I'll never return
Walk on fighting
Don't look ever back
Walk on fighting
Don't you look back to your cries
Walk on fighting...
