He rejoined his forces with Dionysus bass player Nobby Noberg, which Ronny describe as "The best bass player in the business", along with the exceptional guitar virtuoso Toya Johansson, which Ronny knew back from their studying together at the University Of Music, in Örebro Sweden.
The band scanned the whole internet to find a singer that would do their magnificent music justice and in the spring of 2008, they finally found the ultra talented voice of gold, Norwegian Jan Thore Grefstad, most known for his impressive singing in Norwegian power metallers Highland Glory and for being the singer in TNT guitarist Ronnie Le Tekro's second band Wild Willy's Gang, a position he took over after Jorn Lande.
The Saint Deamon line up was then complete and started to work on the debut album, under the guidance of the high acclaimed monster producer Jens Bogren, best known for his excellent work with Symphony X, Hammerfall, Opeth, Katatonia and Dionysus.
No Mans Land
Saint Deamon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody knows
The truth in my eyes
Falling down deeper into the dark
And it's tearing my soul apart
Living in danger it's harder to breath
Trying to pray
Down on my knees
And I can't hold him back he's breaking through
Is anyone out there?
Please hear my call
I can't wait no longer
Can somebody ease my fall?
All alone in no mans land
A stranger in a lost world
Up against my death I stand
Fighting for my freedom
All alone in no mans land
A stranger in a lost world
Try to get what I demand
Fighting for my freedom
No need to run cause I know I can't hide
All I can do is keep me alive
I wanna break free from the shackles I'm in
That I'm ready to stand up for my sins
Is anyone out there?
Please hear my call
I can't wait no longer
Can somebody ease my fall?
All alone in no mans land
A stranger in a lost world
Up against my death I stand
Fighting for my freedom
All alone in no mans land
A stranger in a lost world
Try to get what I demand
Fighting for my freedom
Savior hear me cry
I can't bear this burden
I have paid my price and begging you for mercy
I hate to be lost inside of this madness
Please show me the light that leads me to a brighter day
All alone in no mans land
A stranger in a lost world
Up against my death I stand
Fighting for my freedom
All alone in no mans land
A stranger in a lost world
Try to get what I demand
Fighting for my freedom
