Out of the Pit (2009 - 2010)
The band recorded the first album Out of the Pit in Calgary in early 2009. During the mixing of the album at Metalworks Studios in Toronto, producer Greg Godovitz invited long time friend Rik Emmett to record a guitar solo to the only cover song on the album, a remake of Motörhead anthem Ace of Spades. After playing their first 2009 Canadian tour, Paige's vocal style had changed significantly and the band approached Kevin Shirley to rerecord the vocals and remix the album. The remix was so different that many industry writers thought the band had brought in a new lead singer. Producer Nick Blagona (Deep Purple) rerecorded the vocals and remixed the last track of the album "Legend". Kobra and the Lotus independently released their debut album Out of the Pit in March 2010.
Kobra and the Lotus (2011–2012)
The band recorded their second album self-titled Kobra and the Lotus February to April 2011, with producer Julius Butty then headed to Europe for a UK summer tour. While touring, the band's manager Susan Bullen had been in touch with several labels regarding the second album and reached out to Mark Spicoluk at Universal Music Group and played some preliminary tracks from the new album. Universal Canada thought the album needed an anthem and encouraged the band to write four new tracks and go back into the studio January and February 2012 with fellow Canadian Kevin Churko to record the new tracks and remix and remaster the entire album. The songs 50 Shades of Evil and Forever One were two of the new tracks written. The self-titled album was globally released in August 2012 in the UK and Europe by Spinefarm Records and in 138 other countries by Universal Music Group affiliates. It was then released in the USA and Canada in April 2013 with Universal Music Enterprises UMe and T-Boy Records.
High Priestess (2013–2014)
The band recorded 14 new tracks for their new album High Priestess with super producer Johnny K, a Grammy Award nominated producer/engineer/mixer/musician and songwriter at Groovemaster Recording Studios in Chicago. Charlie Parra del Riego joined as special guest guitarist for the recording. High Priestess was released globally on June 24, 2014. The band toured the new album in North America with KISS and Def Leppard in the summer of 2014. During the same recording session the band recorded "Zombie", a single featuring guest guitarist Charlie Parra del Riego that was later released on Halloween day (October 31, 2015). B-side is "Remember Me". There are two versions of "Remember Me" on the Kobra and the Lotus YouTube channel, one with an additional pre-chorus section.
Break and Words of the Prophets (2015–2016)
After an extensive tour schedule that summer Kobra Paige took an eight-month break from touring to regain her health. To regain their momentum Paige reunited her band with Johnny K, to do a tribute to the Canadian classic rock legends they grew up on. Words of the Prophets was released globally on August 28, 2015. The EP contains heavier covers from Alannah Myles, Triumph, Bachman-Turner Overdrive and April Wine. The band toured the new EP in Europe with Kamelot and Gus G in the fall of 2015. Subsequently, Paige became a guest singer with Kamelot for their Haven tour in North America and parts of Europe.
Prevail I and II (2017–2018)
The band recorded a double album after a successful pledge campaign with producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark. Prevail I and Prevail II will be released separately, Part I released in 2017. The first single from Prevail I 'TriggerPulse' was released early to coincide with a fall European tour with Delain and Evergrey and became the first song by Kobra and the Lotus to gain over 2 million plays on Spotify. The back story for how "TriggerPulse" was written is on the main band website blog. The second single from Prevail I 'Gotham' was released on February 17, 2017 with exclusive premiers streaming via Metal Hammer and Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles. The third prerelease from Prevail I is "You Don't Know" Napalm Records[released on March 31, 2017. "Light Me Up" reached number 38 on the US Active Rock chart in December 2017. Prevail II was nominated for a Juno Award for Metal/Hard Album of the Year 2019.[49]

" LET ME LOVE YOU " 🖤❤️🖤
Oh darling, don't be so scared of what I'll find within
I want to taste your essence
Oh darling, every time you try to run away
It'll only bring me closer
There are pieces you don't like
Hiding all the grace of being human I might find
Oh, let me love you
Let me love you
You're beautiful and I just want you to know
Oh, let me love you
Let me love you
I believe in you, do you believe in me?
Oh darling, I cherish all the shadows of your past
Even the darkest ones
Oh darling in tenderness I'll hold your beating Heart
You can vulnerable again
I'll walk in solace by your side (Forever)
I am yours and you are mine!
Oh let me love you
Let me love you
You're beautiful and I just want you to know
Oh let me love you
Let me love you
I believe in you, do you believe in me?
Oh Let Me Love You
Let Me Love You
You're beautiful and I just want you to know

Minister Peaceful Poet
Ego vs Soul
Falling in free fall
Will I land on my feet
or will this be my defeat
Have I shocked you yet
Well
Let me just see what I can do about that
Just then I had a blow out
My tire went flat
Late again
Will I ever be
At the right place
At the right time
Maybe if I spent more time
Looking where I was going
Instead of always trying to be showing
Ego is blind
Only the soul can find
When you can see through another
Then and only then
Will you find yourself
and be together
Until then
You stumble through
break everything you do
until your finally through

Kobra and the Lotus - Deixa-me amar-te
Oh querida
Não tenha tanto medo do que eu encontro dentro
Quero provar sua essência
Oh querida
Toda vez que você tenta fugir
Isso só vai me aproximar
Tem peças que você não gosta
Escondendo toda a graça de ser humano eu poderia encontrar
Woah me deixe te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Você é linda e eu só quero que você saiba
Deixe-me te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Eu acredito em você, você acredita em mim?
Oh querida
Eu aprecio todas as sombras do seu passado
Mesmo os mais escuros
Oh querida
Na ternura eu seguro seu coração batendo
Você pode estar vulnerável novamente
Você é interna, mas é gentil
Sem condições vou subir em nossas memórias
Eu ando em consolo ao seu lado
(Para sempre)
Eu sou sua e você é minha
Woah me deixe te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Você é linda e eu só quero que você saiba
Deixe-me te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Eu acredito em você, você acredita em mim?
Oh deixa eu te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Você é linda e eu só quero que você saiba
Deixe-me te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Você é linda!
Oh deixa eu te amar
Deixe-me te amar
Eu acredito em você, você acredita em mim.

Riffs poderosos de guitarra y excelente voz combinación perfecta.
phazerboy
This song always makes me emotional, on cue "I cherish all the shadows of your past-even the darkest ones." Kobra is AMAZING with that voice. Band rocks. Love it.

Absolutely love this masterpiece of a song
