Their 2002 Decisions of Hate demo was an underground favorite that lead them to hit the road for a massive gig including 2003 Metal Bash Fest in Hamburg Germany. The band's performance in Germany resulted as joining “The Revivalry - A Tribute To Running Wild” released by Remedy Records in 2005 with Beggars' Night.

During the festivals in 2005 sometimes under the headliners Slayer ,Manowar, In Flames, Doro, Over Kill, sometimes as the headliner itself the band have pleased the ear of thousands of metal fans and at the same time have solidified their place in the realm of modern metal's elite hierarchy in Turkey.

We decided that we should try and never do two songs that sound similar and, in the process, developed a sound that’s filled many different influences and genres, yet keeping a familiar pop-punk identity" ...To be honest, it was more like, "Three friends had a revelation and realised that they all played instruments, so they made a band. And named themselves after a map in COD4."

Recorrer cada centímetro que hay en tu piel
Veremos la lluvia caer, desnudos talvez
Retando a la noche te mire
Bañada de besos hasta amanecer
Y luego tu te iras de mi
Muy lejos de aquí dejándome solo
Puedo aguantar mi dolor su amargo sabor
Y el crudo destino

Puedo mantenerme vivo llorando de amor por ti

Te quiero y no se que decir me aruña el dolor
Me ata el silencio
Tu eres de mi corazón y el sangra de amor por ti
Pero en nombre del amor te juro que no
No se acaba esto me quedo esperando por ti
Aunque no te vuelva a ver yo te amare donde estés

Puedo aguantar mi dolor su amargo sabor
Y el crudo destino puedo mantenerme
Vivo llorando de amor por ti

Te quiero y no se que decir me aruña el dolor
Me ata el silencio
Tu eres de mi corazón y el sangra de amor por ti
Pero en nombre del amor te juro que no

No se acaba esto me quedo esperando por ti
Aunque no te vuelva a ver yo te amare donde estés

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Intro" by Crossfire depict a passionate but complicated relationship between two individuals. The first verse talks about exploring every inch of the other person's skin, even as the rain falls down on them. They challenge the night together, and the singer watches the other person leave, feeling the bitterness of their separation. However, they pledge to continue loving the other person, even as they maintain their distance.

The second verse continues this theme of painful, unrequited love, with the singer expressing their inability to articulate their emotions without feeling the sharp sting of pain. They acknowledge that the other person is always in their heart, and that their love for them is a constant, bleeding wound. Nevertheless, they promise to wait for them, even if they never return, declaring that their love will follow them wherever they go.
