Mustaine - 2-10-2006 at 03:46 PM

One of my friends have this album in Japanese edition that have lyrics in the booklet, I borrowed the booklet to type these lyrics on this forum, enjoy!

01-The Final Frontier

The times are changin' for you and I
We seek our future in the sky
On metal wings our race will fly
To conquer space and time

We'll face our destiny
On The Final Frontier
Beyond this galaxy
Out on The Final Frontier
On The Final Frontier
It was meant to be
Out on The Final Frontier

We've watched the stars since time began
Gone to the moon and back again
And somewhere out there lies the fate of man
To distant worlds we extend out hands

To The Final Frontier
We'll face our destiny
Out on The Final Frontier
We're the next pioneers
On strange new worlds
Of The Final Frontier

Sailing past the speed of light
Throughout the vast eternal night
Beyond the farthest star
We're taking flight

02-Rock And Roll Animal

I feel the heat beneath my feet
I get the urge as my target moves into sight
The hunting ground is all around
The city streets are a jungle in the heat of the night

As my passion starts to grow
My insticts start to show
The animal inside
Has got nowhere to hide

Rock And Roll Animal
The music is my prey
I'm a Rock And Roll Animal
Don't get in my way
Don't get in my way - oh no

Dynamite - the feeling's right
I'm in for the kill - so let me out of my cage
I stake my claim - and you're the game
The tension mounts as I unleash my rage - yeah

And I'm on the prowl tonight
My fire's burning bright
The animal inside
Has got nowhere to hide

Rock And Roll Animal
The music is my prey
I'm a Rock And Roll Animal
Don't - don't don't get in my way, yeah

03-Because The Night

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire's hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hand
Take my hand, come undercover
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

Because The Night - belongs to lovers
Because The Night - belongs to lust
Because The Night - belongs to lovers
Because The Night - belongs to us

Have I a doubt, when I'm gone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in out bed until the morning comes

Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now, can't touch you now
Can't touch you now

Because The Night - belongs to lovers
Because The Night - belongs to lust
Because The Night - belongs to lovers
Because The Night - belongs to us

With love we sleep, with doubt
The vicious circle turns and turns
The yearning, burning
I believe in time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now
Touch me now

04-Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

A midnight flight on a rainy night
I've got a hundred more miles to go
I spent a long time on the telephone line
Cause I had to let you know

I've been around the world and now I'm coming home
It's something I've got to do
Tomorrow at ten I'll have to leave again
But tonight I belong to you

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Just keep my love in your heart
And I'll be here to stay

Well, we both know I've got a job to do
And I do it well, yeah
But to fight my way back to you
I'd go through heaven and hell

I've got to hit the road and do another show
As soon as the night is through
Though I'm here today, gone tomorrow
My heart remains with you

I'm Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Even though we're apart
I'm never too far away

Oh, I'm Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Just keep my love in your heart
And I'll be here to stay
And I'm on my way

05-Arm And A Leg

He's ready to fight if the price is right
He don't need no reason
Into the ring and everyone sings
This sport has no season

A fighter by trade, the choice is made
Flesh and bone surrender
At the sound of the bell he's gonna give it hell
A heavyweight contender

When push comes to shove

Take an Arm And A Leg - Arm And A Leg
That's a promise and a threat
Take an Arm And A Leg - Arm And A Leg
That's all you're gonna get

He straps on the gloves when push comes to shove
Wielding fists of fury
He's coming to town to take over the crown
He wants all the glory - yeah

In one more round his opponent goes down
Arms are raised in victory
The title is won - the damage is done
His name lives on in history

When push comes to shove
He straps on the gloves
And he's ready to fight

06-Raised On Rock

Some people are born to lose
And some are born to win (born to win)
But I was born with the radio on
And it ain't been turned off since

I was weaned on metal
I was breast- fed booze
Vaccinated with rock and roll
I was immune to the blues

Cause I was Raised On Rock (I was raised)
Raised On Rock (Raised On Rock)
I never want to stop (I was raised)
Cause I was Raised On Rock

I dropped out of high school (high school)
I never needed to go (I never needed to go)
They couldn't teach me 'bout rock and roll (rock and roll)
What I didn't already know (didn't already know)

I never held down a job
I never had the time (got no time)
You're free to live your own life
So don't tell me how I should live mine

Cause I was Raised On Rock (don't you know that I was Raised On Rock)
Raised On Rock (Raised On Rock)
I never learned to stop (never gonna stop)
Cause I was Raised On Rock

07-Just Another Girl

Just Another Girl

You think you've got the answers
You say you've seen it all
A midnight queen in a limosine
With lovers at your beckon call

You think you've got it coming
And that you've got it made
But I've seen your kind a thousand times
In every town - every place I've played
Cause I know

You're Just Another Girl in love
Just Another Girl in love
You're only one more pretty face
Just Another Girl

You're busy making small talk
Too cool to make your move
But if you want the best just put your love to the test
You got no time - you got no time to lose
Cause I know

You're Just Another Girl in love
Just Another Girl in love
You're only one more pretty face
In another lonely place

You're Just Another Girl in love
Just Another Girl in love

08-Tears Of Fire

Wounded angel - she came to me
Her broken heart in agony
Seeking answers - she cried to me in vain
Hopelessness filled my eyes with pain

Tears Of Fire - from a heart so cold
Tears Of Fire - feel my passion flow
Tears Of Fire - burn into my soul
I could never let you go

I couldn't help myself - forgive me if you can
It really wasn't me, I hope you understand
Too many memories - to throw it all away
I'd never leave you anyway

Tears Of Fire - from a heart so cold
Tears Of Fire - feel my passion flow
Tears Of Fire - burn into my soul
I could never let you go

09-Nightfall

(Instrumental) really nice playing!

10 - No Pain No Gain

I've learned a lesson fools never learn
Play by your own rules or you'll get burned
I'll have the last laugh when I see the tables turn

But there's a high price you gotta pay
Just be a good boy and do everything they say
I say to hell with that I'll do it my own way

Life's a game that has no rules
You play to win or you'll play the fool
Don't you know

No Pain No Gain - pay the price

If you're not satisfied then what's the use
You feel the pressure as they tighten up the noose
I've had enough and I won't take no more abuse

Life's a tale that can't be told
And I'm a man who can't be bought or sold - no way

No Pain No Gain - pay the price
No Pain No Gain
No way - No Pain No Gain

How cool is THAT. Thanks Mustaine...great job. For those who may not know, Mustaine is a KEELaholic hanging out with us here all the way from Thailand! You DEFINITELY Got It. Hell yeah.

By the way, in "Arm & A Leg" - 'he straps on the gloves'...other than that, everything seems correct...

lol I'm from Taiwan, not Thailand :cool:

Sorry, my friend - I got 5 of the letters right...my bad.

Mustaine - 2-11-2006 at 12:30 PM

It's pretty weird that many foreigners always associated Thailand with Taiwan but it's ok.

by the way, anyone know who design the cover of "The Final Frontier" and the KEEL logo?

Very Cool! :cool:

depp - 2-11-2006 at 02:12 PM

dunno but i bet it was made in taiwan!!!
:P

skynyrdmh - 2-11-2006 at 04:27 PM

Ronnie once told me the guys name that designed the FF cover but I have since forgotten. I am sure he will pop on and answer this question.

BUT....as I remember it, RK himself designed the KEEL logo , or at least one of them ;)

I designed the original KEEL logo, the one that appears on "Lay Down The Law" and was a variation of the Steeler logo. The classic KEEL logo we all know and love was designed by one of the most talented artists of our time, John Taylor Dismukes (http://www.dismukes.com).

When KEEL signed our major label deal with a division of A&M Records, I met with the art director to discuss designs for what would eventually become "The Right To Rock" album. I told him they could do whatever they wanted, but under NO circumstances were they to mess with my KEEL logo....

A few weeks later, I was summoned to their office to see Dismukes' mockup of the album cover art - a cardboard palette with the logo, sword, etc cut out and pasted on to represent the concept. I saw the sword, and that awesome logo - smiled, nodded, and said HELL YES. Thank god they didn't give a shit what I said, or we would have never had the KEEL logo that we're all familiar with now.
