the power

• manowar-louder than hellin son parcasi.
  
  i've got the power to fly into the wind
  the power to be free to die and live again
  this power's like fire, fire loves to burn
  make the world a grave of ashes in an urn
  the power in the darkness to see without my sight
  walk among the living free of wrong and right
  the power of the magic the power of the spell
  not to serve in heaven but one day to rule in hell
  
  power the power the power
  
  this power's greater than love and of hate
  this is the power of will and of fate
  the power to kill the power to feel
  the power of blood the triumph of steel
  greater that the power of a priest or a sinner
  the power to defy to fight and be the winner
  the power of the demons spirits i command
  always by my side to serve the master's plan
  
  power the power the power
  
  none can fight the power none can fight the wind
  secrets of all life and death are carried there within
  call out to the power of the darkness and light
  have dominion of the earth be lord of all the night
  kill all those who stand against you look into their eyes
  drink their blood and laugh as they pay for all their lies
  piss upon their graves then cast a final spell
  fly into the night and one day meet in hell
  
  power the power the power
• snap in ünlü parçası...arkadaki perküsyon sesleri beni deli eder...
• ayrica bir suede sarkisi, (bkz: dog man star) ve bu da sozleri:
  
  through endless asia, through the fields of cathay
  or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
  if you're far over africa on the wings of youth
  or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
  
  just give me, give me, give me the power
  and i'll make them bleed
  give me, give me the power
  (although i'm just the common breed)
  
  you might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
  or belong to a world that's gone, it's the english disease
  
  but give me, give me the power
  and i'll make them bleed
  
  give, give me, give me the power
  (although i'm just the common breed)
• hala arada duyarak "oha hasiktir" dedirten parca. 80'li yillara damgasini vurmu$, her duydugumuzda tuyler urperten $arki.
  
  en son azerbaycan tv'de, ondan once de gecenin bir koru ^* camlica tepesinde manzara izlerken onumuzde durup bagaj kontrolu yapan polislerin indigi arabadan duyulmu$tur.
  
  rap midir bok mudur nedir artik, bu $arki ciktigi zamanlar michael jackson ve madonna falan vardi bi tek sanirim unlu sayilabilecek.
• mesur bir snap parcasi cilginca hastasiydik zamaninda techno hip hop cart curt karisimi dans muzik iste technotronic filan gibi
• her ne kadar i have got the power, i got the power basliginda incelenmis olsa da snap'in sarkisinin dogru yazilisi the powerdir. temcit pilavi gibi isitip isitip tekrar onumuze surerler amerikali gavurlar bu parcayi.
• biraz uzun ve tekrarlı olsa da sözleri şöyleymiş efenim:

  like the crack of the whip i snap attack
  front to back in this thing called rap

  radical mind day and night all the time
  seven to fourteen wise divine
  maniac brainiac winning the game
  i'm the lyrical jesse james

  quality i possess something i'm fresh
  when my voice goes through the rest
  of the microphone that i am holdin'
  copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
  if they are snap
  don't need the police to try to save them
  your voice will sink so please stay off my back
  or i will attack and you don't want that
  
  i've got the power
  he's gonna break my heart
  he's gonna break my heart of hearts
  he's gonna break my heart
  he's gonna break my heart of hearts
  he's got the power oh-oh-oh-oh

  he's gonna break my heart
  he's gonna break my heart of hearts
  he's gonna break my heart
  he's gonna break my heart of hearts
  he's got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
  
  i've got the power
• (bkz: condom corruption)
• 31 mart 1990 itibariyle ingiltere listelerinde 1 numaraya yerleşen ve iki hafta süreyle yerini koruyan zenci şakısı. chartlarda varlığını 15 hafta daha sürdürmüş, bu süre boyunca her delikte kendini çaldırmayı ve her hafızaya kazınmayı başarmıştır. aynı zamanda, 90lı yılların sonlarına doğru iyice tozutan ve her yeri mide bulandıracak biçimde etkisi altına alan hip hop ve rap rüzgarının başlangıcı ve miladı olarak kabul edilebilecek güçte olduğunu söylemek yanlış olmaz. aynı sene içinde, avustralya listelerinde zirveye çıkmış ve 7 hafta yerinden kıpırdamamış şalvarlı zenci mc hammer'ın ne yazık ki unutulamayan hiti u can't touch this ve senenin sonuna doğru listeleri alt üst eden vanilla ice hiti ice ice baby ile birlikte 90 yılının başında zirvelerde dolaşan 3 rap şarkısı olmuştur. bu üç şarkının amerika, avustralya ve ingiltere listelerinde geçirdikleri süre ise -dile kolay gelen ama düşüncesi bile ürperten- (sayıyla) 15 haftadır. bu senenin ardından ise listeler bir daha rap ve hip hoptan kurtulamamış, birbirinin benzeri korkunç şarkılar zebil gibi çoğalmıştır. şimdiki örneklerine bakacak ve karşılaştırarak değerlendirecek olursak snap hiti the power aşmış bir şarkıdır, harikadır, muazzamdır, fevkaladedir. öte yandan, yandaşı iki şarkıyla birlikte, rap ve hip hop sevmeyenler için "lanetlense yeridir" diye düşündüren de bir şarkıdır. böyle de karışık duygular yaşatır. şarkıyı, -neyseki- zirveden indiren ise madonna hiti vogue olmuştur.
• cherin believe albümündeki en muhteşem şarkı olmakla birlikte sözleri şöyledir;
  
  the king is crying from his throne
  he had a queen but now she´s gone
  what is the magic that we seek
  the mighty strong to mighty weak
  every good girl hears it, every bad boy fears it
  no matter what i see, i believe, i believe
  the power touches me, the power sets us free
  the power holds my hand, the power drives me crazy
  the flowers grows an old man dies
  and through it all we still survive
  a poor man dreams but no one hears
  ain´t nothing changed much through the years
  every bad day needs it, every good day breeds it
  no matter how it feels when it´s real
  you know it´s real
  it´s stronger than anybody any man has ever made
  the power touches me, the power helps us see
  the power holds my hand, yeah the power drives me
  crazy
  it won´t take long to understand
  just how lucky i am
  hey, hey open up your eyes and see
  it won´t take long to understand
  just how lucky i am
  every good boy needs it, every bad girl breeds it
  no matter what i see i believe, i believe
  it´s stronger than anybody any man has ever made
  the power, the power, the power
  if i believe in you and me
  do we believe that the power´s gonna be alright
  in just my mind, yeah, yeah
  in the power, the power of love
  i believe in the power, the power of love baby
  
  hiç gözünüzün yaşına bakmadan sizi alıp garip yerlere götüren şarkıdır.
