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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i've made choices and i stand by them
while you, you try and judge my life
you wouldn't understand so dont waste your time
been through alot over the years
I don't remember when my heart turned cold
always played the hand i was dealt
can't be an angel when you're living...
These scars speak for themselves
in hell
These scars speak for themselves
This is who i am. This is where I'm from. Ain't sorry for shit.
This is who I am. This is where I'm from.
Ain't sorry for shit that I've done.
Still negative as fuck and there's nothing you can do.
Still negative as fuck and i ain't gonna change for you, change for you.
I ain't sorry for shit
I know it's fucked but that's how it is.
Down, but never out
always taught to seek the crown
cause in this life you gotta take what's yours
no matter what the cost.
Fuck the haters and fakes
i'm gonna get mine if it takes all day
cause life won't wait.
Life won't wait.
This. Is. Who. I. Am. (aint gonna change for you)
The lyrics of Lionheart's song This Is Who I Am express a sense of pride and acceptance of oneself, despite the judgments of others. The singer proclaims that they have no regrets and stand by the choices they have made in life, despite being judged by others who do not understand them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been through difficult times that have hardened their heart, making it impossible for them to be a kind and gentle person. However, they make no apologies for the way they are, and the scars they have received from their hardships speak for themselves. The refrain asserts the singer's identity and origin, stating that they are not sorry for anything they have done and are not going to change for anyone.
