about

The Wind In My Back kicks off the album GATES OF HELL with a rather positive message, all kept in a true nautical feeling, and sets the course for the rest of the album.

The demo of this song has been around for so long that former Diamond Falcon drummer Tropical Supreme was still involved in writing the main melody of the intro and outro. A true modern old school classic so to speak.

lyrics

For each woman and every child
Every man so juvenile
There comes a time
To decide to fly or fall
I can never know it all
But I have to try

Setting sail for different shores
Sail with the tide
Where I‘m going no one knows

So with the wind in my back and the goal ahead
The way is before me I follow it like a thread
Come hell or high water the future is like the sun
Sometimes shrouded by clouds but shining on
Shining on...

Visions of the past, greetings that won‘t last
I carry on
Singing from the rocks, serenades of docks
I‘m pushing on
Sailing through the storm, cold hours bring the morn
I sail home

Left behind the stormy sea
Left behind the sirens calling me
Now comes the sun
Feeling safe and anchored tight
In a haven of delight
Still I carry on

Setting sail for different shores
Sail with the tide
Where I‘m going no one knows

So with the wind in my back and the goal ahead
The way is before me I follow it like a thread
Come hell or high water my future is like the sun
I know where I stand and so I keep pushing on
Further on...
