Lyrics: King For A Day
Welcome to the nightmare
where villains wear the crowns
Fools rule a broken world
and fear grows all around
There's a bad king
a dreadful puppet on a string
He pretends to be a champion
of the common man
Wants more division
in his lost and riven land
He plays with real lives
in the darkest game of life
His greedy eyes
look insane, frozen smile like he's in pain
He doesn't count
the human cost but only money made or lost
King for a day
he kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
cannot save you anymore
King for a day
He knows how to justify
and how to feed the myths
how to glorify
the lies and hide the truth
He talks a lot but
his mouth is full of empty words
He has the right friends
making shady inside deals
Before the story ends
we will be out of tears
Fools give the answers
wise men don't even try
The time has come
to dethrone him but there's a new clone stepping in
just more scum
another greedy, rotten puppet on a string
King for a day
he kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
cannot save you anymore
King for a day
"I own the seas
I have the Earth on its knees
Give me another day
and I'll take your future away
Just vote for me again"
King for a day
he kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
cannot save you anymore
King for a day

Right, listening Battle Beast is very high voltage, but seeing them alive, Noora is just out of control, amazing attitude.

This makes me anxious for you to check out songs like "Out Of Control" (Also, Sabaton covered this song, so you may wanna check that out, too - double header?), "Straight To The Heart", "Let It Roar", "Bastard Son Of Odin" etc. My personal favorite is "Straight To The Heart" and comes with some super high vocal parts and almost Sabaton sounding keyboards. But, just to let you know, the band has a history of being very experimental on their albums. They generally do have an overarching consistant sound of sort of 80's Heavy Metal and power metal in all of their forms, but they also have songs that can be borderline 80's pop, like "Touch In The Night" and "Dancing With The Beast", or even more gothic symphonic metal like "Lost In Wars" (which features Amorphis' lead singer, Tomi Joutsen doing guest vocals). They are a very diverse, but consistantly good band, one of my favorites. There is something there for everyone.

Michael D Mac why would I call you a heretic? Music is subjective. I prefer the original, even though Sabaton is my favorite band. But I also heard the original first, so that might have had something to do with it as well. ;) In the end, they're both good, so I can't blame anyone for liking one more than the other.

"Wild Child" - W.A.S.P. cover. worth a listen :)

@EsaValkama 6 жыл бұрын

The song is so different to Black Ninja due to them kicking out their main songwriter (Anton Kabanen, the founder of Beast in Black), and replacing him with Janne Björkroth, brother of the keyboardist and the guitarist from Brymir (A kickass Finnish folk metal band, you should check them out). I'd recommend Beyond the Burning Skies from Janne's era, and Into the Heart of Danger from Anton's era.

To me BB's best album was the 1st one, Steel, with Nitte. Check out "Iron Hand" live in Paris. Insane riff with the quite a personal voice of Nitte. (And btw., they were opening for Nightwish when the video was shot.) "Band of the Hawk" is another great one from that record as well.

I discovered them with Black Ninja, which is still one of my favourite. I feel like King for a Day is one of the better songs on their new album. I love Beast in Black's Blind and Frozen more than just about any Battle Beast songs. Just establishing some commonality, here. Now for some recommendations... Out of Control should be a must!!! If you like songs with an 80's feel, check out Out in the Streets, In the Heart of Danger and Touch in the Night. And for something different, if you like power ballads, check out Savage and Saint. Have fun guys!!

If you want to go for another song completely different from what you listened to so far, I'd recommend "Lost in Wars" from their Bringer of Pain album. A collaboration with Amorphis' Tomi Joutsen with a nice industrial (nearly Rammstein) vibe. My favorite from that album, though, probably is Beyond the Burning Skies, because I simply love Noora's voice on that song.

First, sorry for my bad English. I like the comparsion to Abba and glamrock, especially the arrangements and the use of Keyboards. I personally would put them a bit later, so in the time of Bon Jovi and Europe and Gary Moore (Out in the Fields and so) since the guitar techniques are way more 'advanced' as Twistet Sisters and these guys. But I very much like your analyze!!

@thorwulfx1 6 жыл бұрын

Battle Beast is open to the more pop aspect of metal, and they explored more of this on their most recent album. I'm don't mind the variation in their songs, but the heavier ones tend to be my favorites. One of my faves is "Unholy Savior."

From Battle Beast: Unholy Savior, Lionheart, Kingdom, Iron Hand, Let It Roar, Out Of Control. And do react more also to Beast In Black, Anton Kabanen with his new band after he got kicked out of BB. They make the same style that Battle Beast used to do (which I prefer more) and the new album is kickass, for example: Born Again: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isCTirmkqbnVoHk.html Blood Of A Lion: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKpzo7B7z7GlgIU.html Eternal Fire: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p695lrNptd_boIU.html And as all of these are high energy songs, for you to relax after those, a great ballad: Ghost In The Rain - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8yHoKWAxs7Monk.html And, as so many times before, I plead you to react to Moonsorrow! It might be something new and a bit differerent, but I bet you will like the melodies in their songs.

Also pretty fantastic, lots heavier riffs!

I sign the message of the song. New leaders come from the political establishment even if they don't come from the same party. The oligarchs, secret societies, international organizations behind them policians are the same, and they do the same shit again and again, and if you think their first interest is to serve the people, their voters, you're wrong. Noora Louhimo is one of the top female voices in metal, beautiful clean voice and raspy rock voice (hard to believe it's the same woman), and her wild attitude carries through. But you haven't got half of it until you see her live.

I really want to like this band more but I really feel like they lost something when Anton was kicked out. It feels like all the pieces are still there but they aren't just as sharp as they used to be. There is less feeling of danger in the riffs and the build ups don't flow as nicely.
