Veronica Freeman (born December 17, 1977), also known by her stage name "The V", is an American singer and the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Benedictum. Her most recent album with Benedictum is Obey, released through Frontiers Records in 2013. In 2015, she released her first solo album, 'Now or Never', which includes two songs written and produced by Stryper frontman, Michael Sweet.
When she was introduced to metal she felt in love with the power and the energy of it and was encouraged to try singing by her longtime friend Craig Goldy. Freeman and Pete Wells became close friends and she has said that there is something about his playing that inspires her to this day. They started writing together and were in a few bands together, including Medusa and the Malady. They felt that after playing quite a few local shows in San Diego that it was time to move forward and see what they could do musically on a new level and that is when they embarked on the project that is now Benedictum. With some help from Craig they were introduced to the musician Jeff Pilson, who helped promote the group.
In July 2015, Freeman as The V, released her debut solo album, 'Now or Never', which features numerous guest appearances including Michael Sweet as writer and producer on the tracks, "Again" and "Love Should Be to Blame"; Tony Martin as vocalist on "King For a Day", and Chastain vocalist, Leather Leone on "Kiss My Lips".
The Intro
The v Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What forever means to you
Save me
From this misery
Waiting for someone like you
If only you knew
It's you
Wake you up
Took a shot
Suddenly speak
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Alright
"The Intro" by The V's starts with the lyrics "Tell me, what forever means to you, save me from this misery". In these lines, the singer seems to be in a state of confusion, asking someone to explain what the concept of "forever" means to them and also seeking help to come out of their unpleasant mental state. The following lines "Waiting for someone like you, if only you knew, it's you" suggest that the singer is waiting for someone special who can provide them with the meaning of forever and rescue them from their misery.
The chorus of the song consists of the lines "Wake you up, took a shot, suddenly speak, do you love me? do you love me? alright", which seems to depict the singer plucking up the courage to confess their love to the person they have been waiting for. The words "wake you up" and "took a shot" likely refer to the singer gathering the courage to make their move, while "do you love me?" is the question they have longed to ask.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Intro" seem to portray someone in desperate need of love and clarity. The singer is reaching out to someone they believe can provide these things, while simultaneously wrestling with their own feelings and doubts. The notion of love, taking risks, and courageously facing our feelings are clearly evident throughout the song.

At least in my opinion, one of the best opening themes ever composed for film or television...
Nerva
It sounds like a mix of The Terminator and Blade Runner.

This series rocked so much! Michael Ironside's Ham Tyler was my favorite.
