I heard a human voice who sang like no one else
I heard a proud lady singing loud
Lived her life as she liked, didn't give a damn
But soon she found she was underground and wasted

I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage
Her body shook, oh, she did her stuff
She screamed and quake, give and take, maybe took too much
If you take the smooth you gotta take the rough

Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid

I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd
I felt the sound shower 'round
And he would take you with him where no music's been before
As you merge the power surge together

His music knew no limits if you were in its wake
You had no choice, no, but hear its voice
And you would listen hypnotized and in a dream
But once so strong, survive or become weak

Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid

If you gaze across timeless years, you'll find them always there
And many gods will join the list compiled with dying care
Hungry mouths are waiting to bite the hand that feeds
And so the living dead carry on immortal deeds

I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame
But fast car user lose
That legend's born from death and that is such a shame
'Cause every year new ones appear

Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid



Heroes End - Judas Priest

There's two kinds of people in the world
The outlaws and the lawmen that prevail
The bounty hunter's job is on the wrong side of the law
Intentions of the truth and nothing more

Burn 'em!
Clear the streets as he rides into the town
'Cause the nameless one's gonna have some fun
He's gonna bring an outlaw down

Wasted!
It's over quick, he's nailed 'em three for three
Then with a squint-eyed grin and stubbled chin
He rides through history

No name, like a shadow on a moonless night
Real game, he'll be there to uphold
Justice, law and order
And you'll pay the highest fee
When the gunslinger takes his piece


Lone Justice - Anthrax

Hey, Kev, nice to see you over here!

"Oh, why you look so sad, the tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now, and don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through, 'cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could make me love you less,
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad, don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
Hey there, what you got to hide?
I get angry too, well, I'm alive like you.
When you're standing at the cross roads,
And don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along, 'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
Baby, even to your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you,
I'll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby,
You're feeling all a lone, you're wandering on your own,
I'll stand by you...."

I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders

Thanks, Jo. I guess I had forgotten about this thread. Check this one out. It makes me glad that I'm a wimpy little sissy and makes me want to bow down to terrorists. NOT!


Hail the hero coming home
Honour bound from whence he roamed
Fortitude and skill
Call of duty all alone

Lead the nation for the crown
Serve the orders coming down
Charge ahead with pride
Guard the chivalry you've shown

Those forsaken reawakened with my battle cry

Indestructible by choice
Valour rings out with the voice
Rail the consequence
Destiny's the flag you hoist

Your endeavour lives forever with my battle cry

Battle cry
DEATH DEFY
Battle cry
Never die

Cast this sorrow to the wind

Let tomorrow be the light you're made to herald in
Like a master of the seven seas
Your reputation's grown
This eternal flame's been sown

Praise for sacrifice that's done
Well deserved you carried on
Let your hearts be full
For those heroes every one

Restitution absolution with my battle cry
Exoneration condemnation with my battle cry

Battle cry
DEATH DEFY
Battle cry
Battle cry


Battle Cry - Judas Priest

First off - let's take it from the start
Straight out - can't change what's in my heart
No one - can tear my beliefs apart
You cant bring me

You ain't - never seen no one like me
Prevail - regardless what the cost might be
Power - flows inside of me
You can't bring me

Never - fail as long as I try
Refuse - to be a part of your lie
Even - if it means I die
You can't bring me

You can't bring me down.....

…..Time out - let's get something clear
I speak - more truth than you want to hear
Scapegoat - to cover up your fear
You can't bring me

You ain't - never seen so much might
Fight for - what I know is right
What up - you got yourself a fight
You can't bring me

Stand up - we'll all sing along
Together - ain't nothing as strong
Won't quit - we ain't in the wrong
You can't bring me

You can't bring me down.....

The Who's version of Substitute:

Substitute your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic mac


Great White's cover version:

Substitute your lies for fact
I see right through that SATAN CRAP


Woo-hoo! I love it! :-)

A renegade by trade

And that's HOW IT'S GOT TO STAY! :-)

Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins

Let me feel the spirits soar
Destroy the enemy
Striking at the evil core
For all the world to see

This day will last forever
Deep in the hearts of men
Courage and victory
Remember, remember....

One shot at glory
In the crossfire overhead
Fate stands before me
Words have all been said

One shot at glory
Driving hard and seeing red
Destiny calls me
One night of fire
One shot at glory

Fighting on with dignity
In life and death we deal
The power and the majesty
Amidst the blood and steel

I still hear the battle cry
The call goes on and on
I still see the banners fly
The battle's always won


One Shot at Glory - Judas Priest



Just remember this.....


To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

All your fighting songs made me think of this one :

Indestructible by Disturbed

Another mission
The powers have called me away
Another time to carry the colors again
My motivation - an oath which I've sworn to defend
To win the honor of coming back home again
No explanation will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
My true vocation and now my unfortunate friend
You will discover a war you're unable to win

I'll have you know
that I've become
INDESTRUCTIBLE
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war

Another reason
Another cause for me to fight
Another fuse uncovered now for me to light
My dedication to all that I've sworn to protect
I carry out my orders without a regret
My declaration embedded deep under the skin
A permanent reminder of how it began
No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life

You will be shown
how I've become
INDESTRUCTIBLE
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war

I'm indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I am indestructible (Indestructible)

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war

Pretty macho, man! Fighting songs, ay? Okay, put up yer dukes on this one, you big bully! :-p


As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow

If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting....

Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night

Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice

Not begging you
I'm telling you

You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies

You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you
UNDER BLOOD RED SKIES

Through a shattered city
Watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise

Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night

Their closing in
They'll never win....

As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand
I WILL FIGHT
You'll NEVER take me alive



Blood Red Skies - Judas Priest


That one kind of reminds me of the movie Red Dawn. :-p

Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes....

Changing gears here. This is the incense-burning, lava lamp tripping out on coolest, man! Peace out!

Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot
In the night time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back
Something worth remembering....


Out in the Country - Three Dog Night

Y'know, my python boot is too tight
I couldn't get it off last night
A week went by, and now it's July
I finally got it off
And my girlfriend cry
"You got STINK FOOT!
STINK FOOT, darlin'
Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose
STINK FOOT! STINK FOOT! I ain't lyin,
Could you rinse it off, do you suppose?"

Goin' to the city, got you on my mind
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind
This is my decision, I'm coming home to stay this time

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city....

To be seen in your limousine
She'll do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rock and roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it

Her head is full of rock and roll dreams
She's exactly what she seems
She likes rock and roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it....


Just To Get Into It - Nazareth

Wielding the axe comes the one culmination
That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed
Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage
Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free

Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled
Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war
The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding that withered and waned
Till the world seemed all drained fills the bay

Pounding the world like a battering RAM
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam
Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done
Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none

Second to none
