Searching in the darkness
Running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow
Nothing left to say
Victims of the moment
Future deep in doubt
Living in a whisper

Посторонись, мелюзга! Kiss идут! Примерно такой слоган пришелся бы очень к месту прямо на обложке десятого студийника группы. Ведь на дворе стоял 1982 год - американский глэм метал (прообразом которого и были Kiss в 70-ых) начинал поднимать свою голову, и на место временно захворавших отцов-основателей жанра сразу же стало претендовать множество молодых команд. А Киссы в последние годы явно пребывали не в лучшем состоянии - парочка не очень успешных поп альбомов, уход Питера Крисса, совершенно провальный эксперимент с "The Elder", наконец, полная неадекватность Эйса Фрейли, "вынюхивавшего" все свои гонорары. И в такой сложной обстановке группа сумела собрать волю в кулак и записать мощный и жесткий диск, мгновенно показавший всем "кто в доме хозяин". Итак, уже в процессе записи, окончательно потерявший над собой контроль Эйс, был из группы выставлен (хотя для обложки и в клипе "I Love It Loud" он еще снялся). Ему на замену пришел старый знакомый Пола Стэнли, молодой и талантливый гитарист Винни Винсент. Помимо кадров изменения не обошли стороной и музыку группы. Сей диск - пожалуй, самый тяжелый и "грязный" за всю историю коллектива. Все помпезности а-ля "The Elder" были выкинуты прочь, в том же направлении полетели коммерческий поп и классический хард. "Creatures Of The Night" может торжественно называться первой хэви металлической работой Kiss. Ну, конечно, полноценного тяжеляка здесь нет, но новомодного глэма - хоть отбавляй! В этом направлении группа будет работать весь следующий десяток лет, а данный альбом стал пробным шаром, угодившим точно в лузу! Как я уже говорил выше, саунд намеренно сделан "грязным" и глухим, что мгновенно увеличивает убойную мощь коллектива. Ну а сам материал чертовски хорош! Мрачные и тяжелые композиции Джина Симмонса лежат на одной чаше весов - среди них особо выделятся агрессивная и злая "War Machine" и, конечно же, чуть ли не главный хит всех "неклассических" альбомов Kiss - стадионный гимн "I Love It Loud". В закромах у Пола Стэнли более мягкие и коммерческие номера, тут стоит отметить потрясающую по скорости и энергетике заглавную вещь, мелодичный боевик "Danger", и "I Still Love You", одну из самых романтически-прекрасных баллад которую я когда либо слышал. Сей диск обязателен для ознакомления всех поклонников Kiss, ваша любимая группа открыла новую страницу своей истории и сделала это блестяще. |

[Chorus]
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
Breathing in the madness
Spitting out the lies
Searching for an answer
Keep your alibis
Don't know where we're goin'
Just know where we've been
Remember when the clock strikes twelve
The losers always win
[Chorus]
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
[Solo]
Searching in the darkness
Running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow
Nothing left to say
Gathering up our courage
Ready for the fight
Howling in the shadows
'Til we start to bite
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
(Ooooh) We're creatures of the night
KILLER - Gene Simmons, Vincent Cusano
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her love is a gun
Her love is a blade
She's a killer
Bitch is insane
She deals in pain
She's a killer
Ooh, she'll cut you clean
Then she'll watch you bleed
So obscene, she's what I need
She loves to hear me scream (yeah)
Black lace, stiletto heels
She's a killer
Crack the whip, submission trip
She's a killer
Ooh, cat in heat
Mistress of deceit
Nerves of steel, her next meal
She's searching for the meat
[Chorus]
She's a killer
Stone cold killer
Killer
Stone cold killer
Watch out for your jugular vein
She's a killer
Animal with a twisted brain
She's a killer
Ooh, she guarantees
You'll suffer with desire
Wicked queen, night machine
She'll make you walk through fire
Killer
Run for your life
Killer
Will she bite
Killer
Run for your life
Killer
Will she bite
Suck your blood tonight
[Chorus]
She's a killer
Stone cold killer
Killer
Stone cold killer
[Chorus]
She's a killer
Stone cold killer
Killer
Stone cold killer
[Solo]
She's a killer
She's a killer
Stone cold killer
She's a killer
Stone cold killer
She's a killer
KEEP ME COMIN' - Paul Stanley, Adam Mitchell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know what you're like
You're not sleepin' at night
I know you're losing control
I know your plans
Where you're keeping your hands
I know it's taking its toll
Sweet little innocent girl
Making your way in this world
Something you're feeling tonight
Tells you what's wrong and what's right
[Chorus]
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin')
Keep me comin' (keep me comin')
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin')
Whoa keep me comin' babe (keep me comin')
Ooh-yeah
Hands on my shoulders now
You're getting bolder
Your fears are slipping away
Each little bite
Lets me know that you're ripe
You're thinking maybe you'll stay
Now that you're burning to know
How far you're willing to go
Now that it's under your skin
Now that you're lettin' me in
[Chorus]
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin')
Keep me comin' (keep me comin')
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin')
Whoa keep me comin' babe (keep me comin')
[Chorus]
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin')
Keep me comin' (keep me comin')
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin')
Whoa keep me comin' babe (keep me comin')
Ooh-yeah
Comin'
Comin'
Ooh-yeah, whoa-whoa
[Solo]
Ooh yeah
Right here
Right now
[Chorus]
Oh yeah

You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin') comin', comin'
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin') comin', comin'
You gotta keep me comin' (keep me comin') comin', comin'
Right here, right now (keep me comin')
Right here, right now (keep me comin')
Right here, right now (keep me comin')
ROCK AND ROLL HELL - Gene Simmons, Bryan Adams, Jim Vallance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Been under fire sixteen years
Just waitin' for his time to come
He fought the lies
Fought back the tears
Can't wait to hear that starting gun
There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams
So he held his hands high and screamed
[Chorus]
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
He's on the edge
He can feel it in his heart
This time the pressure's really on
He's gonna fight it
Might even steal a guitar
This time tomorrow he'll be gone
There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do
Think he's a little like me and you (yeah)
[Chorus]
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell (yeah)
Whoa-whoa
[Solo]
He's on the run
Won't stand for second place
But his turn may never come (whoa-whoa)
He's not a victim
You can see it in his face
But he can't see what he's become
Well, he wants it bad
But he wants no charity
He seems to think it's his destiny
[Chorus]
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
DANGER - Paul Stanley, Adam Mitchell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the night
I will be waitin'
Ready to go, soon as the daylight is fadin'
In the night
My heart is beating
Out of control, can't stop the way that I'm feeling
I wanna know, how far to go
Takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone
Call me the desperate man
[Chorus]
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain
Boiling the blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way
I'll make the best of my days
In the night
Whoa, I can feel it
Time slips away
If I can't pay I will steal it
In the night
I will be screamin'
Hour by hour
Livin' the life that I'm dreamin'
Under the gun, I'll be the one
Walking the edge of the knife
Taking the best, leaving the rest
I'm gonna run for my life
[Chorus]
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain
Boiling the blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way
I'll make the best of my days
[Solo]
I wanna know how far to go
Takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone
Call me the desperate man...
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me fires that endlessly burn
I've passed the point of return
Danger, Danger
Danger, Danger
Danger, Danger
I LOVE IT LOUD - Gene Simmons, Vincent Cusano
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stand up
You don't have to be afraid
Get down
Love is like a hurricane
Street boy
No I never could be tamed, better believe it
Guilty
'Til I'm proven innocent
Whiplash
Heavy metal accident
Rock on
I wanna be President
'Cause I love it...
[Chorus]
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise
Turn it up
Hungry for the medicine
Two fisted to the very end
No more treated like idiots
We're not gonna take it
No lies
No more alibis
Turn it up
Got me hypnotized
Rock on
I won't be tranquilized
'Cause I love it...
[Chorus]
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise
I Love it...
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise
[Break]
Turn it up!
[Solo]
Headline:
Jungle is the only rule
Front page
Roar of the nation cool
Turn it up
This is my attitude
Take it or leave it
[Chorus]
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes (I love it)
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, I don't want no compromise (I love it)
[Fade out]
[Fade in]
I STILL LOVE YOU - Paul Stanley, Vincent Cusano
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You tell me that you're leaving
And I'm trying to understand
I had myself believing
I should take it like a man
But if you gotta go
Then you gotta know
That it's killing me
And all the things I never seem to show
I gotta make you see...
Girl it's been so long, (tell me)
Tell me how could it be
One of us knows the two of us don't belong
In each others company
It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye
That you wanna be free
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind
I gotta make you see (I)
I gotta make you see
I gotta make you see...
[Chorus]
I still love you
I still love you
I really, I really love you
I still love you
[Bridge]
People tell me
I should win at any cost
But now I see as the smoke clears away
The battle has been lost
I see it in your eyes, you never have to lie
I'm out of your life
Tonight I'll dream away and you can still be mine
But I'm dreamin' a lie
Dreamin' a lie
Makes me wanna die...
[Chorus]
'Cause I still love you
I still love you
Baby, baby I love you
I still love you
[Bridge]
[Solo]
And when I think of all the things you'll never know
There's so much left to say
'Cos girl, now I see the price of losing you
Will be my Hell to pay
My Hell to pay
Each and every day
Hear what I say
[Chorus]
I still... love you
I still love you
I really, I really love you
I still love you
Baby, baby, I love you
I love you, I really, I really love you
SAINT AND SINNER - Gene Simmons, Mikel Japp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting off this carousel
You can do as you please,
You can go to hell
Put my back against the wall
Well I'm not gonna fall
On my knees, no not at all
[Chorus]
So, you're a saint, I'm a sinner, but deuces are wild
Better wake up, it's break up, I ain't got the time
So (baby) you can kiss my heart bye bye
Next to you I feel I'm all alone
Love's turned to stone
Ooh yeah
Cross my heart and hope to cry
Well I'm not gonna die
Without you it's aces high
[Chorus]
So, you're a saint, I'm a sinner, but deuces are wild
Better wake up, it's break up, I ain't got the time
So (baby) you can kiss my heart bye bye
Bye bye babe
Kiss my heart bye bye
You missed my heart this time around
Kiss my heart bye bye
And I don't need no one at all, no!
Whoa-whoa
[Solo]
There's no right and there's no wrong
I'm moving on
I'll go it alone
Because love's turned to stone
[Chorus]
So, you're a saint, I'm a sinner, but deuces are wild
Better wake up, it's break up, I ain't got the time
So (baby) you can kiss my heart bye bye
So bye bye babe, whoa-whoa
Bye bye babe
No I'm not gonna die
Cross my heart and hope to cry
No no no no I'm not gonna die
So bye bye bye babe, whoa-whoa
(No) Well I'm not gonna die
(No) without you babe
No I'm not gonna die
No
WAR MACHINE - Gene Simmons, Bryan Adams, Jim Vallance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanna bite the hand that feeds me
Wanna turn the tides
Set the demons free and watch 'em fly
Strike down the one who leads me
I'm gonna take his place
Gonna vindicate the human race
[Chorus]
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
Take the reins of power and seize them
Draw the battle lines
Armageddon's just a matter of time
Tear down the voice of reason
Let the arrows fly
Your freedom's just a state of mind, yeah
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
[Solo]
You better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
You better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine
I'm a war machine, I'm a war machine
