Mob Rules - 'Run To The Hills' (Iron Maiden cover)

White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need

We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came, too much for Cree
Oh, will we ever be set free?

Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards, attack

Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives

Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing's a game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives

Yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives

Συλλογή η δισκογραφική πρόταση των Mob Rules για το 2024. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Celebration Day: 30 Years of Mob Rules" και αφορά (όπως μαρτυρά και ο τίτλος) την συμπλήρωση τριάντα ετών από την δημιουργία της μουσική μπάντας. Θα "βγει" σε διπλό cd και αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του τελευταίου φθινοπωρινού μήνα.

Οι Mob Rules μας έρχονται από την Γερμανία. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από τρεις δεκαετίες, πήραν το όνομά τους από τον δίσκο (και τραγούδι) των Black Sabbath, μας συστήνονται ως «Melodic Power Metal from northern Germany. Formed in 1994 and rooted in classic Heavy Metal, NWOBH, Hard Rock and Progressive Metal» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένους" στουντιακούς δίσκους (αν συνυπολογίσουμε και το album "Timekeeper (20th Anniversary Box)", δύο EPs, ισάριθμα live albums, μία συλλογή, ένα boxed set και μπόλικα (16) singles...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Northern German melodic power metallers Mob Rules are celebrating their 30th anniversary. Time to let it rip! With "Celebration Day - 30 Years Of Mob Rules", the band around singer Klaus Dirks releases a compilation that could hardly have become more extensive and of higher quality.

With over 150 minutes of playing time (spread over two CDs), the capacity of the medium is stretched to the limit with 30 hand-picked songs, including not only obvious band classics such as "Black Rain", "Hollowed Be Thy Name" and "Rain Song", but also songs that have previously been less in the spotlight.»
