Damascus - Open Your Eyes (1984)

NWOBHM. Released two eps, this one is from their second called 'Open Your Eyes'
Lyrics:
I'm not afraid
To die in the day
But at night the delight
Seems a lifetime away
Love will take you like a magnet
Just when you feel secure
I'm so afraid
Please don't let me fall
I was safe inside my sadness
No passion to endure
Now I find myself
Hopeless and forlorn
And I'm so afraid that love will take its toll
But then I see your face
Or was it just a dream
You said open your eyes
What do you see
That you're a lonely lonely man
Without a heart
You said open your eyes
What do you see
Come on open your eyes
What do you see
Like a bird on the wing
Or a song that you sing
You can find yourself flying oh so free
You can move without a trace
Get about most anyplace
Come on open your eyes
What do you see
Come on open your eyes
What do you see
But then I see your face
Or was it just a dream?
You said open your eyes
What do you see
That you're a lonely lonely man
Without a heart
You said open your eyes
What do you see
Come on open your eyes
What do you see
Come on open your eyes
What do you see
Open your eyes
What do you see?

Hope I never find myself again in this situation. Never.

+torcidakstari1995 yeah man! i totally agree with you!!! bass lines are wicked as fuck!!! \m/ metal forever my bass line brother!!! \m/ \m/

[@aleisterbroley900]

That's one of the best things about NWOBHM-- so much of it has killer bass, and it's ACTUALLY AUDIBLE lol. I've actually put aside playing lead guitar, after 25 years, and picked up the bass due to finally getting into all this wonderful NWOBHM music in the past couple years.

Great song

[@lilyann3709]

Brutal Tema 🔥

[@DragoonsPropaganda]

At the start this song sounds like a garbage R&B song then boom it kicks into some hardcore shit and at 1:10 it gets so hardcore with the cowbell I almost top myself. Fuck Heavy Metal, man. NWOBHM is the only Metal.

[@RETROSATAN]

Thats how you lure them in.
