1) Lionheart is a British hard rock supergroup formed in late 1980, originally featuring singer Jess Cox (ex-Tygers of Pan Tang), guitarist Dennis Stratton (ex-Iron Maiden), guitarist Steve Mann (ex-Liar, later with MSG, Michael Schenker and Eloy), and bassist/vocalist Rocky Newton (ex-The Next Band, Wildfire), and drummer Frank Noon (ex-The Next Band, Def Leppard). The band split up in 1986 but reformed in 2016 with a line-up featuring Stratton, Mann, Newton, plus vocalist Lee Small (Shy and Phenomena) and Clive Edwards (ex-UFO and Wild Horses) on drums.
2) An Alternative Rock band from Hertfordshire, England. Their eagerly anticipated first album, I Need To Shout, is soon to be independently released.
3) The second was a Rock Against Communism band also hailing from the United Kingdom which was founded in the late 80's and existed into the mid 90's.
4) Lionheart is one of U.S.A.'s leading ensembles in vocal chamber music. It is best known for its interpretation of medieval and Renaissance a cappella music, with Gregorian Chant as the keystone of its repertoire.
5) A Russian melodic power metal band.
6) Hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, Lionheart are at the forefront of the new breed of hardcore monsters.
Clearly influenced by NYHC and rooted in “mosh core”, Lionheart have enough technical ability and metal influence to also appael to a broader range of aggressive music fans. “The Will To Survive” was originally released by Sacramento’s West Coast Worlwide in late 2007, and quickly sold over 1,000 copies with no retail presence or distribution at all, solely via mail order and through the band during their rugged tour schedule.
Following in the foot steps of Northern California bands like Hoods and Powerhouse, the band has built an intensely loyal grassroots following. Lionheart’s lyrics deal with strength, pride and growing up in a world with no handouts.
It will be only a matter of time before Lionheart are mentioned along with bands like Terror, Hatebreed and Madball.

Pain
Lionheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From chasing demons that I never confronted
Chasing demons just to bring ‘em to justice
Broken and rusted
And only left me disgusted
Now have you ever bet it all
Just to realize the game is for sale?
Back against the wall
New money and old pain
Chained to the grave
& We all die the same
Chained to the pain
I’ve been living in vain
And there’s no escape
New money and old pain
Askin god to show mercy and he’s laughing
Tried run from my pain and outlast it
Here’s my soul you can have it
That’s one more nail in the casket
The opening lines of "Pain" by Lionheart, "I got this pain in my stomach, from chasing demons that I never confronted," immediately sets the tone for the rest of the song, which deals with the theme of regret and the consequences of avoiding confrontation with one's problems. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been running away from their issues, perhaps in the context of addiction or mental health struggles, and are now suffering the physical and emotional consequences of their avoidance. The lines "chasing demons just to bring 'em to justice, broken and rusted, and only left me disgusted" reinforce this idea, with the metaphor of chasing demons suggesting a futile attempt to overcome something seemingly insurmountable, with no clear plan or end goal in sight.
The song then shifts focus to the idea of being trapped in a cycle of pain, with the lines "new money and old pain, chained to the grave, and we all die the same, chained to the pain." This suggests that the singer feels stuck in a pattern of behavior that has ultimately led to their current state, unable to break free from the past mistakes that continue to haunt them. The final lines of the song, "asking god to show mercy and he's laughing, tried to run from my pain and outlast it, here's my soul you can have it, that's one more nail in the casket," reflect a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the singer resigns themselves to their fate and even offers up their own soul in a final act of surrender.
Line by Line Meaning
I got this pain in my stomach
I am experiencing physical discomfort due to the emotional turmoil I am going through
From chasing demons that I never confronted
I have been avoiding dealing with past traumas and issues, and instead trying to ignore them and move on
Chasing demons just to bring ‘em to justice
I have been attempting to reconcile with my inner demons and resolve them so I can have a sense of closure
Broken and rusted
I am worn down and damaged from my struggles
And only left me disgusted
My experiences have made me disgusted with myself and the situation I am in
Now have you ever bet it all
Have you ever taken a huge risk in life?
Just to realize the game is for sale?
Only to later find out that the world is not a fair place and success is often bought rather than earned?
Back against the wall
Feeling trapped and hopeless, unable to find a solution to problems
As the hammer drives in another nail
Adding another problem to an already large list of issues
New money and old pain
Money may have changed, but my emotional pain and suffering has stayed the same
Chained to the grave
Feeling trapped and unable to escape the cycle of suffering
& We all die the same
No matter our wealth or status, we will all face the same fate eventually: death
Chained to the pain
Feeling trapped and bound by my emotional pain and trauma
I’ve been living in vain
My efforts and actions have been fruitless and hopeless in dealing with my inner demons and struggles
And there’s no escape
Feeling like there is no way out of the situation and problems I am facing
Askin god to show mercy and he’s laughing
Feeling like my pleas for help and relief have gone unanswered and ignored by a higher power
Tried run from my pain and outlast it
Attempted to outrun my problems and find a way to cope with my pain
Here’s my soul you can have it
Feeling like I have given up and surrendered to my struggles and suffering
That’s one more nail in the casket
Continuing to add to the struggles and emotional pain that will ultimately lead to my eventual death

I love how everyone is trashing this guy. This song hits home. I don't even see it as a negative song. I see it as an acknowledgement of life's difficulties on a daily basis. It's just healthy to understand the old man you were is collapsing (like when he was looking in the mirror). But then the new man comes to life when the song ends. Pre-teenage years, teenage years, 20s, and 30s are all separate points in our lives where we may fail from time to time. But we learn from it each time. A real man continues to make himself new.
