For many of us part of the magic of Transformers: The Movie was its incredible sound track. Now over 12 years old many may find it stupid and passe' but I do not. For the times it was daring, as was the whole movie that was slated for a boys audience 6-12 years old. I have both the cassette and Compact Disc of this sound track and the greatest disappointment was the fact that neither came with lyrics. After listening to these songs countless times I have put together (to the best of my ability) what I believe to be the full and correct lyrics to the songs. Of course if anyone seeing these believes I have made errors or wishes to discuss them feel free to e-mail me about the subject but for now enjoy!
UPDATE 6-1-99. It has come to my attention that there is another translation of the song lyrics on another site. You can go and view it HERE. This is not an official translation however as previously believed. So I welcome you to visit this site as well. You'll notice some minor differences between both versions. I also would like feedback on which version you personally think is more accurate so that I may change mine if need be, or this other person can make changes. Thanks again!
Instruments Of Destruction-Performed By: NRG
Iron birds of fortune, adrift above the skies
Cloudy revelations, unseen by naked eyes.
Flying tools of torment, will penetrate the sphere
Erupt the Rock of ages, Bringing final fear
Instruments of Destruction, Tools of foul Play
It's a violent eruption that exists then drifts away
What'll really matter, when nothin' really counts
Reap eternal darkness when you're drained of every ounce
And when the nightmares over, the final from the storm
To dust of all creation, to ashes we transform,
Instruments of Destruction, Tools of foul Play
It's a violent eruption that exists then drifts away
(Chorus repeated 4 times)
Dare-Performed By: Stan Bush
Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered, there's no where to turn
You wonder how you keep goin' (goin')
Think of all the things that really matter, and the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growin' (growin')
You can fly if you try, leavin' no paths behind,
Heaven only knows what you might find,
Dare, Dare to believe you can survive,
You hold the Future in your hands.
Dare, Dare to keep all your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand,
You can win if you dare.
Everybody's trying to break your spirit keepin' you down
Seems like it's been forever (ever)
There's another voice if you'll just hear it sayin' it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never (never)
Out of the Darkness you stumble into the light,
Fighting for the things you know are right,
Dare, Dare to believe you can survive,
The power is there at your command.
Dare, Dare to keep all your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand,
You can win if you dare.
Dare, Dare to believe you can survive,
You hold the Future in your hands.
Dare, Dare to keep all your dreams alive
Dare, Dare to keep all your love alive,
Dare to be all that you can be.
Dare there is a place where dreams survive,
Its calling you on to victory. DARE!!
Nothin's Gonna Stand in our Way-Performed By: Spectre General
The fortunate ones,
To be fast and free and young,
I want to count myself among,
The fortunate ones.
We won't be denied,
We know that time is on our side
We've got the passion and the pride
We won't be denied
This generation, the fire in our eyes,
Strong are the ties that bond us, we don't need so never mind,
Nothin's gonna stand in our way, nothin's gonna stand in our way,
Nothin's gonna stand in our way, not tonight.
We want it all,
And tonight we've got control,
We're on an arch we won't fall,
We want it all.
We won't be denied,
Like a breaker at high tide,
We're gonna take that sweet joyride,
We won't be denied.
New expectations, moments in the sun,
We've waited all our lives, and now we know our time has come,
Nothin's gonna stand in our way, nothin's gonna stand in our way,
Nothin's gonna stand in our way, not tonight.
Nothings standing, Nothing stands in our way,
Nothings standing, (nothing stands here) Nothing stands in our way...
(Guitar Solo)
This generation (we've got) the fire in our eyes,
Strong are the ties that bond us, we don't need so never mind.
Nothin's gonna stand in our way, nothin's gonna stand in our way,
(No) Nothin's gonna stand in our way, not tonight.
Not tonight!
Not tonight !
Not tonight!
Nothings standing, Nothing stands in our way,
Nothings gonna stand in our way, Nothings gonna stand in our way, (in our way),
Nothings gonna stand in our way, NOT TONIGHT....
Hunger-Performed By: Spectre General
When I see what I want I'm gonna take it.
If it's against the law you can bet I'll break it.
My needs of speed gives me the will to survive.
I've got to find it fast to keep me alive.
Oh, I can't believe my eyes.
Hunger, I want it so bad I can taste it
It drives me mad to see it wasted
Well I need it so bad that its burnin' me
I'm Hungry.
I'd do anything to get it and feel no regret.
Time is runin' out and I ain't found it yet.
Oh, I can't believe my eyes.
Hunger, I want it so bad I can taste it
It drives me mad to see it wasted
Well I need it so bad that its burnin' me
I'm Hungry. It's burning me up.
BURN!
(Guitar Solo)
Hunger, I want it so bad I can taste it
It drives me mad to see it wasted
Well I need it so bad that its burnin' me
Its burnin me, its burnin me,
(Time is running out and I ain't found it yet)
[This verse repeats over and over]
The Touch-Performed By: Stan Bush
You got the touch, you got the power.......YEAH.!
After all is said and done,
You've never walked, You've never run,
You're a winner.
You've got the moves, You know the street,
Break the rules take the heat
You're nobody's fool.
You're at your best when the goin' gets rough,
You've been put to the test but it's never enough.
You got the touch, you got the power,
When all hells breakin' loose you'll be right in the eye of the storm.
You got the heart, you got the motion,
You know that when things get to tough, you got the touch.
You never bend you never break,
You seem to know just what it takes,
You're on Fire.
It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel,
When you're standing your ground.
And you never give in when your backs to the wall,
Gonna fight to the end and your taking it all,
You got the touch, you got the power,
When all hells breakin' loose you'll be right in the eye of the storm.
You got the heart, you got the motion,
You know that when things get to tough, you got the touch.
You're fighting fire with fire,
You know you've got the touch,
You're at your best when the goin' gets rough,
You've been put to the test but it's never enough,
You got the touch, you got the power,...................YEAH!
The Transformers(Theme)-Performed By: Lion,
TRANSFORMERS!
Smethin' evil's watching over you,
Coming from the sky above,
And there's nothing you can do.
Prepare to strike, There'll be no place to run,
When the planet's in the grip of the evil Unicron.
Transformers, More than meets the eye,
Transformers, Robots in disguise.
Strong enough to brave the bravest horror
So we have to pull together,
So we can't stay worlds apart.
To stay divided we will surely fall,
Until our darkest hour, we have the right to save us all.
Transformers, More than meets the eye,
Transformers, Robots in disguise.
Transformers, Autobots wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of,
The Decepticons. Transformers.
(Guitar Solo)
It starts today and now we made our stand,
And for now the powers of darkness
Have been driven from the land.
The battles over but the war has just begun,
And this way it will remain until the day that all are ONE!
Transformers, Transformers, Transformers, Transformers
Transformers, More than Meets the Eye,
TRANSFORMERS!
