Motorhead - Terminal Show Lyrics






The golden eyed creature sits back on his throne
Gazing at us in despair
Six hundred guests, humanity's best
Are wondering why they are there
All roads lead here, all roads are burned
Have we digested the things we have learned
Have we a chance when the dead rise and dance
Have we the time for the final romance

We better find out the name of the game
Chance of a future frozen and grim
Or of a quick death brought here on a whim
Why are we here does anyone know
Why are we here at the terminal show

The blind king has secrets dark and morose
He'd like it if we were like him
All the dark days spent in the maze
Have made a new man of him
All roads lead here, all roads are closed
Are we quite certain of all that we know
Are we miscast or do we hold fast
Have we the time for the final repast

We better find out
The name of the game
Chance of a new world sunny and fine
Or of a burning a branded design
Why are we here, we don't even know
Why are we here at the terminal show

The red queen is sleeping, lost in a dream
She wakes and she sleeps all alone
All of her fears are crowded in here
Laughing they pick at her bones
All roads lead here, none lead away
Are we quire certain we're here anyway
Have we been wise or are we despised
Have we the time for our final demise

We better find out
The name of the game
Chance of a lost world, rain and dismay
Pick up your belongings, we all have to pay
Why are the vultures circling above
Why can't we fight for the right to our blood
We are demented, everyone knows
Misrepresented, coming to blows
Why are we here, we don't even know
Why are we here at the terminal show

    TERMINAL SHOW IN UKRAINIAN 
    В тронi iстота сидить золота, 
    погляд вганяє у кут,
    шiстсот гостей, вершки з людей,
    гадають чому вони тут.
    Будь-який шлях веде сюди й горить,
    будь-що вивчаєш слiд перетравить,
    чи є в нас шанс, як мертвi стануть знов?
    чи є в нас час на останню любов?

    Цю гру слiд впiзнать,
    чи навiть не грать

    або майбутнє примарне як дим,
    або швидка смерть за чиїхось примх,
    чому ми тут, може знає хтось чому,
    чому ми тут на заключному шоу?

    Стрьомнi секрети слiпого царя,
    хто б роздiлив, вiн зрадiв,
    днi, коли вiн у темрявi ширяв,
    мають i досi свiй вплив.
    Всi шляхи сюди вже перекритi,
    хто в чому впевнений в цьому життi?
    Хто схаменувся, хто пре, як багнет,
    чи є в нас на останнiй банкет?

    Цю гру слiд впiзнать,
    чи навiть не грать

    сам обирай, вiльний соняшний свiт,
    чи бренд у трендi успiшно згорить,
    чому ти тут, може ти знаєш чому,
    чому ми тут на заключному шоу?

    Червона цариця спить на самотi
    й живе увi снi навпаки,
    гостi її це її фобiї
    миють отут їй кiстки.
    Шлях сюди є, шляху звiдси нема,
    ми тут, напевно, хоч як не дарма,
    стали ми мудрi, або проклятi,
    чи є час на гiдну крапку в життi?

    Цю гру слiд впiзнать,
    чи навiть не грать

    Бунт i загублений свiт обери,
    готуйсь до втрат, свої речi збери,
    чом ворон кружляє, в'є кружева?
    Чом не рятуймо ми власнi права?
    Ми ж бо дементнi, це знають усi,
    безпрецедентнi нiмi голоси,
    чому ми тут, невiдомо нiкому,
    чому ми тут на заключному шоу?

    Anybody else hear this and think this is Warhammer 40k in pure fucking shred form?

  58. R.... ....

    Holy Phuck but I didn't know this:
    ‘Inferno’ album features a cameo by guitar god Steve Vai, who plays on the songs ‘Terminal Show’ and ‘Down on Me.’

    I just met and had a brief talk with Steve after a clinic in June. Nice fella...

    R.... ....

    +ROOKTABULA You gotta love what Vai wrote about Lemmy:

    "I ran into him at the Rainbow Bar And
    Grill [in West Hollywood] once and said to him, 'So when are you going
    to ask me to play a solo on a MOTÖRHEAD record?'
    "He said, 'I'll be at your house Wednesday at noon.'
    "It only took a few hours to do the solos but the two of us just sat and talked for about ten hours after that.
    "He consumed a hefty amount of alcohol and speed but never once
    stuttered, lilted or missed an opportunity for an inspired bit of wit.
    "He was sharp, alert and extraordinarily present at ALL times. I couldn't quite understand it.
    "The record I recorded on was 'Inferno' and some days later Lemmy sent me an engraved lighter. How cool, ay?
    "The stories he told were fascinating and I got to know the
    remarkable person he was. I discovered why so many of us adore and
    revere him.
    "Lemmy marched to the beat of his own drums. His confidence in
    himself and his music was fierce and he was perhaps the most honest
    person I knew in this business. Because he was so in touch with himself,
    he allowed others to be themselves without judging them. He didn't
    placate or sugar-coat things but delivered to you the reflection of your
    own intentions, meaning if you're an asshole, you better be prepared to
    be verbally spanked with an inspired array of adjectives delivered with
    a firm, yet high quality calm. But if your morals were worth the salt,
    he was incredibly warm, considerate, generous and supportive. He gave
    you his quality attention when you were talking with him and that's the
    best gift you can give to anyone. We loved him because he inspired in us
    our own desire to be as independent and dedicated to our work as he
    was. And he did it with an incredibly solid, rounded, and grounded sense
    of confidence, warmth and wit. Not to mention he played his ass off in
    the tradition of hard, fast, no excuses rock and roll with a look, voice
    and bass sound unlike anything. He was a totally invested performer
    whose authenticity was epic. Even the way his microphone hung from above
    him will be historically recognizable. He was 'the One… ALONE.'
    "I wrote a song with him and Ozzy [Osbourne] called 'My Little Man' that appears on Ozzy's 'Ozzmosis' record. Lemmy
    wrote the lyrics. If you listen to the lyrics of that song, you can
    glean an insight into the deep softness that was comfortably resting
    under the external persona. The song is deeply touching and when I met
    his son Paul, I realized how sincere those lyrics are.
    "I remember when my wife Pia met him and had an opportunity to 'kiss the mole' on his cheek.
    "I was fortunate enough to be invited to perform for him at the
    Whisky for his 70th birthday party that took place December 2015 just a
    few weeks before he passed. I shared riffs with Bob Kulick and Lemmy's son Paul, who is really quite a good guitar player. After the show, I went to see Lemmy
    where he sat in the balcony all night. He was shockingly thin and
    frail, but still had that steady awareness of all that was going on in
    the world around him. I held his shaking hand, told him how nice it was
    to jam with his son, and then I kissed his hand and said, 'God bless
    you, my brother, and thank you.'
    "There are times when you know you will be saying goodbye to someone
    for the last time in this life, and though there was a sadness, with Lemmy it was a heartfelt salute and a momentary exchange of deep respect and joy in the knowing of each other.
    "He was the coolest and wherever his attention is right now, he still is.
    "Lemmy, you were extraordinary and we are grateful."

    R.... ....

    +Greg Van Gordon Yeah. I remember reading that on Steve's feed somewhere and laughed at the booze and speed aside, just mentioned in passing like "he grabbed a pick.... " lmarseo

  59. B.... ....

    lovely one

  60. S.... R....

    why are we here nobody knows

    Have we found out yet?

  61. G.... S....

    FUCK YOU ADDS, I WONT MOTORHEAD

  62. d.... ....

    motorhead(besides the red house painters) are THEEE only band that are allowed to put out the same album over and over again.  they are like your grandma's apple pie.  the recipe has been handed down forever and you and your family know its awesome so why change it?   

    d.... ....

    yes, that´s simply Motörhead

    d.... ....

    what about ac/dc?

    d.... ....

    @Coolroekoe them too, for sure.  the only reason i didnt include them in my comment is because im not a fan of their stuff really.  they got their rabid fanbase which is awesome and they know there's no reason to change a good thing!  

    d.... ....

    ACDC for sure the same. I´m not so much into ACDC but I noticed that the black ice Album is pretty different to the stuff they did before. That´s why I love Metallica. Me as the fan will be surprised by every album. They don´t put on a computer and put out the same stuff over and over again

    d.... ....

    I respectfully disagree. Metallica's course is plain bad. Motorhead fucking skyrocketed to the skies ! :D ( by doing same thing with some differences, like new spices in grandma appelpie !

  63. V.... V....
