Legendary German hard rock band. Scorpions formed in the late 60's and released several progressive rock albums with Michael Schenker(who left to join UFO) before recruiting lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who helped push the band into a harder direction. The 70's output of Scorpions represented a bold, innovative new force in heavy metal, but poor promotion in the US by their label, RCA, prevented the band from making a breakthrough. In the 80's Scorpions began moving in a more commercial direction, causing Roth to leave to pursue his own solo career. With a new label, Mercury, and a new guitarist in the talented Matthias Jabs, Scorpions began to enjoy considerable chart success with their involvement in the booming glam metal phenomenon.

You never take the easy way
The wind is blowing straight into your face
You never ever close your eyes
For any trouble that may cross your way
There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, You're gonna make it
To the best time of your life
Don't stop at the top
Touch the sky before you drop
You never make a compromise
Your will has got the power that won't break
You never say never to a challenge
That will come along the way
There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, you're gonna make it
To the best time of your life
Don't stop at the top
Touch the sky before you drop
Never stop! Don't stop at the top
