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.

Lionheart Lyrics

Watching as the moon glows
Can you feel the cold?
And I can barely sleep anymore
Counting roaches on the floor
Is this really my home?
Caught my reflection in a window...
My skin weathered by the cold
And the burden of stories that won't get told
Can you hear the thunder roll?
That's the sound of a heart grown cold
(tell me can you hear it, tell me can you hear it?)
Can you hear the thunder roll?
(tell me can you hear it, tell me can you hear it?)
That's the sound of a heart grown cold
Driving on i-5 south
Just thinking about
How it could've turned out
And I ain't never been this low
Now all I got left
Are the songs that I wrote
Caught my reflection in the window
WHERE DID MY YOUTH GO?
My skin weathered by the smoke
'Cause the only peace I know
Is the end of a Newport
Still bitter still cold
Still using mud to fill the cracks in my soul
And I know there's no hope
Can you hear the thunder roll?
The lyrics of Lionheart's song "Still Bitter Still Cold" paint a vivid and bleak picture of a person drowning in despair. The first few lines set the scene: staring out of a motel window, the moon as the only light in the darkness, a sense of deep cold. The singer cannot even sleep because the place he is staying in is overrun by roaches. The question "is this really my home?" suggests a feeling of alienation, of not belonging in this place. When he catches a glimpse of his reflection in a window, the singer is struck by how much he has aged: his skin is now "weathered by the cold" and the unspoken hardships he has endured.
The chorus of the song is dominated by a repeated question: can you hear the thunder roll? This could be a metaphorical reference to the sound of the singer's heart beating with despair, but it could also refer to a coming storm. The thunder is linked to the coldness he feels, reinforcing the impression that the world around him seems unwelcoming and inhospitable. While driving on I-5, the singer is consumed by thoughts of how he ended up in such a lonely and miserable place in life. He realizes that he may have hit rock bottom, with nothing to his name except the words to the songs he writes. The singer is still bitter and cold, using substances to try to numb the pain, and aware that there may be no hope for him.
Line by Line Meaning
Staring out a motel window
Feeling trapped and hopeless
Watching as the moon glows
Reflecting on the passage of time and missed opportunities
Can you feel the cold?
Asking if others can empathize with their despair
And I can barely sleep anymore
Struggling to find peace or solace
Counting roaches on the floor
Living in squalor and filth
Is this really my home?
Questioning how they got to this point in life
Caught my reflection in a window...
Confronting the harsh reality of aging and regret
WHERE DID MY YOUTH GO?
Expressing disbelief and sadness at the loss of their youth
My skin weathered by the cold
Symbolizing the emotional toll of their struggles
And the burden of stories that won't get told
Feeling weighed down by secrets and traumas they can't share
Can you hear the thunder roll?
Asking if others can sense their pain and despair
That's the sound of a heart grown cold
No longer able or willing to feel warmth or compassion
(tell me can you hear it, tell me can you hear it?)
Reiterating the desperation for connection and understanding
Driving on i-5 south
Physically moving but feeling emotionally stagnant
Just thinking about
Ruminating on the past and missed possibilities
How it could've turned out
Wondering if life could have been different if they had made different choices
And I ain't never been this low
Feeling like they have hit rock bottom
Now all I got left
The only thing of meaning or value left to them
Are the songs that I wrote
Their only outlet for expression and catharsis
My skin weathered by the smoke
Cigarettes as a coping mechanism but also leaving a physical mark
'Cause the only peace I know
The only momentary relief from mental anguish
Is the end of a Newport
Associating smoking as a way to numb their pain
Still bitter still cold
Resentful and emotionally unresponsive
Still using mud to fill the cracks in my soul
Using unhealthy coping mechanisms to try and heal their emotional wounds
And I know there's no hope
Feeling hopeless and helpless
Can you hear the thunder roll?
Reiterating the plea for acknowledgement of their pain

Staring out a motel window
Watching as the moon glows
Can you feel the cold?
And I can barely sleep anymore
Counting roaches on the floor
Is this really my home?
Caught my reflection in a window
Where did my youth go?
My skin weathered by the cold
And the burden of stories that won't get told
Can you hear the thunder roll?
Does it sound of a heart of gold?
(And now you can you hear me)
(And now you can you hear me)
Can you hear the thunder roll?
(And now you can you hear me)
(And now you can you hear me)
Does it sound of a heart of gold?
Driving on i-5 south
Just thinking about
How it could've turned out
And I ain't never been this low
Now all I got left
Are the songs that I wrote
Caught my reflection in the window
Where did my youth go?
My skin weathered by the smoke
'Cause the only peace I know
Is the end of a Newport
Can you hear the thunder roll?
Does it sound of a heart of gold?
(And now you can you hear me)
(And now you can you hear me)
Can you hear the thunder roll?
(And now you can you hear me)
(And now you can you hear me)
Does it sound of a heart of gold?
Does it sound of a heart of gold?
Does it sound of a heart of gold?
I'm still bitter
I'm still cold
Still using mud to fill the cracks in my soul
Without know there's no hope
Can you hear the thunder roll?
The thunder roll?
