Saxon - Princess of the Night

from the "Denim & leather" album.(1981)

lyrics:
She used to be an ironhorse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Speeding, sparks like lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever wanna hear
It's music to my ears

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Streaking down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one day

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
(sky, sky, sky)

I've just figured out:

Saxon - Princess of the Night

Accept - Princess of the Dawn

Queen - Princess of the Universe

the princesses are always fucking awesome, did I forget any of them?

Im 14 years old and I would like to apologize what my generation have done to music

Co to za gatunek? Heavy metal to jeszcze nie jest; dylemat mam, słucham równo z pogranicza hard i heavy, a przecież różnica "mentalna" jest spora.

I'm glad to see there are so many NWOBHM/Saxon fans on here, and even some younger ones too! If you guys are fans of classic rock/metal, you should totally join my Facebook group, Vegas Valley Classic Rock Society (a quick search on FB should bring it up.)

right on man

I think you and i are the only 14 year olds who would have the same opinion

@fredam6666 Queen don't have any song entitled "princess". They have a song in "A Kind Of Magic" alboum though, released in 1986, entitled "Princes Of The Universe".

BTW, NWOBHM will ALWAYS be NWOBHM, the best acronym ever put forward on Earth!!!!

Classic as fuck! This music heritages are SO strong that they come to reach to Metal newcomers in this screwed up century... there's still salvation after all!

You bet pal. I remember my friend's older brother buying this album when it came out. We'd camp outside his room and listen through the door. Seen them at least 10 times, from arenas to 50 people in a pizza place. Talk about a band that keeps going no matter what the charts say.

@fredam6666 Leatherwolf - princess of love and Mercyful Fate's Welcom Princess of Hell and why not diamond head's The Prince?
