Blow it Up 04:22
I was living my life Lonely and in despair You might call it a hard time But I never really cared People tell me I'm crazy I show them what I got They lock me in a cage So I gotta blow it up Blow it up We gotta blow it up All you got All you got Blow it up We blow it up Never stop And we will never stop I'm not the one to blame For what you choose to be Your truth is such a shame But you're too blind to see Your privilege and status the money that you got Stop looking down upon us we gotta blow it up

Stormriders 04:04
The storm it is coming No point in running Your gods and your mother won't save you Just cared for yourself So don't expect help The wind it is turning It´s turning on you Thunder and lightning They really look frightening When you‘re all alone, solitary You always came first Your castle will burst Want all for yourself Get along on your own We're facing the storm But never alone Together we're riding as one Into the unknown But never alone To victory or to defeat Stormriders Ridin' the Storm Still ridin' together Stormriders Never alone We'll never surrender Stormriders Ridin' the Storm All out of control Stormriders Never shall fall We never shall fall Through wind and through rain The riders remain As long as we're staying together You don't need to fear Any storm coming near And feel no remorse If you join our force We're facing the storm, but never alone Together we´re ridin' as one Into the unknown, but never alone To victory or to defeat

Heading out on an empty highway Never know where it ever ends Got no clue but I call it my way And I know I will get my chance Searching for a new tomorrow Yesterday will be far away Got no time left to spent with sorrow Soon there' ll be another day And I still haven't found what I was looking for A restless heart always fights for more But now I'm heading for the best With a wild heart in my chest So round and round it goes Where it stops nobody knows I will make it to the top I'm heading for the highest rock I won't wait and I won't rest Cause I'm heading for the best I'm heading for the best If I ever feel I'm running on empty I get up, and I start again For as long, as I'm still hungry I will always try as hard as I can No one said that it will be easy But I know that I'm not alone Got my friends standing right beside me Still I wanna make it on my own And I still haven't found what I was looking for A restless heart always fights for more

Just another monday morning Getting up, got bills to pay You got to work, it‘s f***ing boring And you still got five days to stay Every week is like the other Throughout the years it’s still the same Follow your duties, don’t recover And finally you'll go insane This can’t go on forever Time to make it better Wheels keep on turning Slaving nine to five But the fire keeps on burning The dream is still alive There was a time you still remember Another life that you have lived Don’t know what lead you to surrender What made you take the poison gift You’re not alone, we feel together It’s not too late to rearrange This misery won’t last forever We got the power to make a change
5.
Ever since the world began The same old story ran Girl leaves boy and boy leaves girl And he stumbles through the streets She turns between the sheets Just the same old tragedy Tell her, tell me Oh, baby why don’t you see I can’t get you out of my head “Wait, don’t turn away Why don’t you stay” – It’s all the same “Wait, don’t turn away I beg you to stay” – repeating tales This ain’t how the story ends He takes another chance Can’t give up so easily But they fight and fight again The struggle never ends Broken glass can cut so deep Tell her, tell me Oh, baby why don’t you see I can’t get you out of my mind Wait, please wait It is never too late to be sorry Just another twist in the story Wait

It’s been ten days, i’m staring at the door I said ten times I don’t want you no more, no The things I did just to make you stay I tried so hard but couldn’t find a way Miles away but never far apart My memories firing up my heart My burning love Is longing for your heart It’s tearing me apart My burning love is haunting me Oh burning love It's burning up my heart I knew it from the start My burning love is killing me ... again Sense is lost but I am not to blame These lonely nights driving me insane, woohoo And suddenly in moments of despair I close my eyes you are standing there, yeah I won’t give up,I'd rather fall apart The need is strong, it’s firing up my heart
7.
Friday has come and you’re ready to go Can't wait to leave all behind You got a secret your colleagues don't know A fire that burns deep inside Now you’re at home, the conversion begins It's time for the beast to awake You put on your jacket with badgets and pins Til sunday you'll follow your fate Ready to strike, no one to stand in your way It feels so right, turning the night into day Weekend warrior You’re out in the streets for a fight Drunk and glorious The town is in your hands tonight When it's all over the sadness returns You're working from nine until five You're locked in a cage, but the fire still burns You're partying to stay alive Weekend warrior You’re out in the streets for a fight Drunk and glorious Denying the sadness inside
8.
You sing about groupies With curvy booties A mansion in the Hollywood Hills Table dance bars Expensive cars Sniffing cocaine with 100 dollar bills A wig on your head Your spandex is red You make the 80s fake again Always take care Of your full plastic hair And your true job as an office man But this is not our business The time has come so listen Learn how to rock Ready for a battle Time to rough it up Rattlesnake rattle Gonna kill wig metal We are the Cobra Crew We´ve got some venom for you Rattlesnake rattle Kill wig metal The stage is ready Your pants are getting sweaty You believe in your own fairytale A Van Halen riff Is all you can give And you owe money to Dave Coverdale Money they spare To see you fake hair It’s time to let the cheat begin Rock ain’t dead when the wig’s on your head And you fake it with your stupid grin This is our battle Time to rough it up Rattlesnake rattle Gonna kill wig metal We are the Cobra Crew We´ve got a message for you Rattlesnake rattle Kill wig metal
9.
Only one thing I really know I wanna spend my life on rock and roll Sometimes ist tough but not for long Guitars and drums they got me movin‘ on It might be crazy, it might sound weird But I’m addicted, just music in my head Heading for the top, never gonna stop Chained to Rock Workin‘ like a dog, play until we drop Chained to Rock I really really love My rock n roll machine It keeps me going on Sometimes it makes me scream Sometimes my life is upside down I wonder if it ever will get better But when I hear that magic sound I get a feeling like the sun comes out It might be crazy, it might sound weird I am addicted with music in my head Heading for the top, never gonna stop Chained to Rock Workin‘ like a dog, play until we drop Chained to Rock Drivin every day, always on the way Chained to Rock Playin in the night, til the morning light Chained to Rock I really really love my rock n roll machine It keeps me going on Sometimes it makes me scream
10.
Out on the road we’re all alone It takes us far away from home I’m always restless running free It burns a hole inside of me Oh, can you hear me from far away Just gotta hold on another day Another town, another place Another crowd, another face I see your pictures in my head and I am slowly getting mad No one survives out there alone Oh, can you hear me from far away Please try to hold on another day Don’t know where I go tomorrow Don’t know where I’ve been yesterday My mind is full of sorrow I need you by my side But you’re too far away It’s such a long way home Til we will be together Long way home But I would wait forever Deep in my heart there is a crack I fear the day when I’ll be back

about

After "Princess Of Pain" (2015), "Rise Of The Snake" (2018) and the live album "100 Desperate Hearts - live!" Snakebite now present their third studio album "Cobra Crew".

With catchy songs somewhere between melodic hard rock and 80s heavy metal, the german four-piece always ensure a good mood and a real eighties feeling. 10 new songs dedicated to their fans - the Cobra Crew, recognizable by their silver-coloured snake patch.

Musically SNAKEBITE rely on melodic metal hits (e.g. "Stormriders", "Wheels Keep On Turning", "Weekend Warrior"), catchy 80s rock songs ("Heading For The Best", "Long Way Home"), and fine "feel-good" anthems that invite you to sing along, such as the somewhat self-ironic "Kill Wig Metal" or the stomper "Chained To Rock".

For production, recording, mixing and mastering, SNAKEBITE once again brought Dennis Koehne (Sodom, Lacuna Coil, among others) and Tom Kornis (Chaos A.D. Frankfurt) on board, who have been working with the band since the first album.

SNAKEBITE are now back in top form with ten brand new songs on the album "Cobra Crew" - go give it a try and support!
