Always it's scare to step ahead Fear of the parting and unknown Never regret Reach for the sky Don't caught in the past We are marching on * Time to go There's a new day tomorrow Farewell to today Go on, you're not alone Searching for meaning of life Farewell to today Something is calling from behind The voice is confusing your mind You'll know the truth Turning the page Find something new We will all arise * repeat Break down your fate Don't bring back yesterday As long as you hope Future is waiting for you Never regret Reach for the sky Don't caught in the past We are marching on and on * repeat

There is an old man with no purpose He's standing with his back to me He seems like a loser and he turns around Oh, it's a bad dream His face is mine Hurt by a lie I curse my fate Nealry yield to reality Don't lose my aim Believe myself Go forward again * (See their eyes) You see their eyes Wings of liberty fly (Into The light) They go to the light Wings of liberty fly, fly away Though you failed many times, you tried to fly But with your broken wings, there's nowhere you can go Healing and loading fuel to move on (So move on and on) Through years you learned to live and fight till the end Hurt by a lie You curse your fate Nearly yield to reality Don't lose your aim Believe yourself Go forward again * repeat No gods, no demons nothing restricts me I will be free with wings of liberty * repeat I will be free with wings of liberty Into the sky I can fly free Wings of liberty

Don't hold your breath Now shout it out to survive Drastic change has come Is it cold at this place? In the dark and warm water, where you’ve been It's time to open your eyes The pressure is building up The walls are closing in Clamping down on me You feel like you're on the edge Still, somehow you make it through Hear the blessings are calling Tonight, everything’s a miracle * Don't hold your breath Now shout it out to survive Start to breathe Now you should stand on your own Can you hear it Screaming your name So, here's where your life begins ** Take your breath Now shout it out to survive Keep breathing Now you should stand on your own Can you feel it Holding your hand So, here's where your life begins You might feel like there's no one who's waiting for you In a small and dark space, while you’re struggling alone In a little bit longer, you'll figure it out Someone is desperately caring about you Sometimes I might hold your head or pave the way and then push you through We are on the way Tonight, we'll see another miracle * repeat * repeat ** repeat You are the star of the show Let your story begin

Preemptive strike Shiver ran down your spine They make the beast in me awake Hatreds arise Dignity fade I’m losing all humanity * Eyes for eyes Teeth for teeth Flesh for flesh Blood for blood ** Can we live in peace forevermore After all the enemies are gone Anger and sorrow will not fade away We'd know the vengeance goes on Brethren is here Breathe the same air Forming to loathe for enemies The question in your mind The quest for a truth Already know just what it is * repeat ** repeat We just fought for those we wanted to protect We didn't figure out, what was lost, what we lost Kill for being killed, and be killed for the kill Does that really make the world at peace in the end? * repeat ** repeat
5.
* Don't stop believing Even if this whole world is sick and tired of me I cannot stop I can't stop rolling Now I can do nothing but sing Nothing else but sing I can't stop believing People on the right, people on the left There is no rest for them Wastin' time, Wastin' time Everyone is scared of quotas everyday Just devouring the pleasure So that’s all they need to be satisfied, satisfied But I can't think of anything like that ** Everything changes Everyone changes Nothing stays the same Nothing ever lasts forever There is no wonder you don't believe it A never-ending love There’s no such thing It’s just a fantasy It's always just a dream while asleep But I don't really care I can't stop believing * repeat I shivered at being alone Sick and tired of being with you too Lonely nights, Lonely nights I know well I am selfish, and it works for me It's not a matter of waiting for someone to call me Friday night Friday night It’s nothing more than the same old despair. Time cannot be rewound It cannot be undone That’s the only thing that will always look beautiful Even though it is nothing at all I know I can’t make it That's just not possible I can never stop Never standing still in the stream But I don't really care   I can't stop believing ** repeat Oh, Ah Don't stop believing Oh, Ah Don't stop believing Oh, Ah Don't stop believing

about

Hailing from Nagoya, AMUSIE is a melodic power metal band formed by four active medical doctors.
After making a striking debut with their 2023 album Heavy Metal Doctors - mixed and mastered by the renowned Fredrik Nordström (Arch Enemy, In Flames, HammerFall, etc.) - the band now returns with a brand-new EP.
The title is ''Rapid Resuscitation''.
As the name suggests, the EP carries a double meaning: speed and revival.
At its core are newly revived, fully re-recorded versions of two high-speed tracks from their 2014 independent release, ''Farewell to Today'' and ''Wings of Liberty''.
With five relentless melodic speed metal songs, this is the most aggressive release in AMUSIE's history.

■Reviving the Band's Origins: Re-recorded Early Works
''Farewell to Today''
The very first song ever written by AMUSIE - truly the band's point of origin.
Originally featured on their 2014 independent album, the track has been resurrected with a modern sound and renewed intensity for this EP.
''Wings of Liberty''
A melodic power metal anthem co-written by Mano and Kinoshita during their university days, marking their earliest creative collaboration.
More than a decade later, it finally takes flight again in its fully re-recorded, contemporary form.
■New Songs That Reflect AMUSIE's Present Identity
''Start to Breathe''
- A song themed around the birth of new life.
Inspired by the moment a newborn takes its first breath and the reality of neonatal resuscitation, the track channels the energy of life and hope through soaring melodic power metal - an expression only medical professionals could authentically create.
''Vengeance Goes On''
- A reflection on the wars that continue around the world today.
It portrays sorrow, hatred, and the cycle of violence with a darker, heavier sound.
The track also marks AMUSIE's first use of a 7-string guitar, expanding their sonic depth with newfound heaviness.
■A Bold and Unexpected Cover
AMUSIE reimagines ZIGGY's classic ''Don't Stop Believing'' with an English-language reinterpretation and a metal arrangement infused with homages to metal classics.
While preserving the universal message of the original, the band injects their signature high-speed intensity and passion.

■AMUSIE's Sound, Further Elevated by Nordström
Mixing and mastering were once again handled by Sweden's legendary Fredrik Nordström, a master of European metal production.
Under his direction, AMUSIE's speed, melody, and heaviness are sharpened even further, resulting in an EP with a fierce, revitalized sonic identity.

Reviving the past (''Resuscitation'') and propelling forward with full-speed momentum (''Rapid''), this EP represents a new heartbeat for AMUSIE - and captures the very moment of their evolution.
