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.

Pure Anger
Lionheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
True Pain
Dead Inside
I was born that way
Fuck it all
Never look back
You don't know me
Walk a day in my life
Then judge me
There were choices I had to make
Time served my dues have been paid
Dead inside
Full of hate until I die
I've been the same way my wholelife
That's pure anger Still bitter still cold
From day one the life I know
But that's real that's me
Pure fucking anger I was born that way.
Pure fucking anger Dead inside
Full of hate until I die
I've been the same way my whole life
That's pure anger. Stood tall while others fell
I took life lived it for myself
Me against the world every time
The fuel that burns is the anger inside.
It's me against the world every time
The fuel that burns is the anger inside.
Pure fucking anger. This is real hate This is true pain.
Pure fucking anger.
This is real hate This is true pain.
Pure fucking anger.
The lyrics of Lionheart's song "Pure Anger" convey a strong sense of anger and bitterness towards the world. It starts off with the lines "Pure Anger, True Pain, Dead Inside, I was born that way", which suggests that the singer has always been filled with negativity and animosity. The lines "Fuck it all, Never look back" indicate a resigned attitude towards life, where the singer has given up on trying to find happiness and has accepted being consumed by anger.
The lyrics also seem to challenge those who may judge the singer without really understanding his circumstances. The line "You weren't there, You don't know me, Walk a day in my life, Then judge me" conveys the idea that people cannot fully understand the singer's struggles without having been in his shoes. The song goes on to describe the hardships and choices the singer had to make, asserting that his dues have been paid in full.
Overall, "Pure Anger" appears to be a song that tackles themes of bitterness, pain, and resentment towards society. It seems to suggest that the world can be an unfair and harsh place, and that the only way to survive is to embrace anger, which is the proverbial fuel that drives the singer forward.
Line by Line Meaning
Pure Anger
Deep and intense anger
True Pain
Genuine emotional pain
Dead Inside
Feeling empty and void of emotion
I was born that way
This has been a part of me since birth
Fuck it all
To disregard everything
Never look back
To never revisit the past
You weren't there
You did not experience what I did
You don't know me
You do not understand who I am
Walk a day in my life
Experience what I have experienced
Then judge me
Only then can you make a fair judgment
There were choices I had to make
I had to make difficult decisions
Time served my dues have been paid
I have paid for my mistakes
Full of hate until I die
I will always be filled with hatred
I've been the same way my wholelife
This has been a constant throughout my entire life
Still bitter still cold
I am still resentful and unfeeling
From day one the life I know
This has been my life from the beginning
But that's real that's me
This is truly who I am
Stood tall while others fell
I persevered while others gave up
I took life lived it for myself
I lived my life on my own terms
Me against the world every time
I always feel like it's just me against everyone else
The fuel that burns is the anger inside
My anger is what drives me
This is real hate This is true pain
My anger and pain are genuine
