War Song Lyrics


Oh my God
Tell me this won't last forever
Tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together nowPacked my things up just the other day
Said my goodbyes to all these things I've sayed
Out in the driveway we laugh under the moon
Among my friends for now but I'll be leavin' soonMany days from now I'm sure
I'll be back among your graces
And with you I won't pretend
No not at all, OhCrack the morning, up and running quick
No sleep again last night
That's the way it is
Out in the open under broken skies
I feel every foot step I see everybody's eyesOh and this is summer, in another world
Far from the driveway and my baby girl
Soon come the winter and with it quiet nights
And darker days and darker fightsMany days from now I'm sure
I'll be back among your faces

And with you I won't pretend
No not at allOh, the theater is burnin over at midnight
But never like this
Hot under the fire, the stars are a fallin
But never like this
No, I hope you never see thisWait, wait for my love
Don't forget me never let me go
If you wait, wait for my love
I'll remember never let you goUntil I'm fine, fine, fine
Until I'm fine, fine, fineTo be back in my room
I have the same dream every night
Just me, among my things
No one else is there, there's no one left to fight, just meAmong my things
Many nights from now I know
I'll be back among your graces
Until then I'll just pretend
That I'm not coldOh my god, tell me this won't last forever
And tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together
Oh my God you knowWait, wait for my love
Don't forget me never let me down
And just wait, wait for my love
I'll remember every one of youAnd just wait, wait for my love
Wait, wait for my love
Wait for my loveUntil I'm fine, fine, fine
Until I'm fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine

White Lion was a Hard Rock band of the 1980s and early 1990s. Their manager, Mike Parente, also owned L'amour, a club in Brooklyn. The band was formed in New York City in 1983 by Danish-born vocalist Mike Tramp (born Michael Trempenau) and guitarist Vito Bratta, who wrote most of the band's songs. The band's other members were James Lomenzo (bass) and Greg D'Angelo (drums).

After moving from Denmark to New York in 1982, vocalist Mike Tramp (ex-Mabel,ex-Studs) met Brooklyn guitarist Vito Bratta (ex-Dreamer) and they decided to form a band. The two recruited drummer Nicki Capozzi and bassist Felix Robinson (formerly of Angel) and named the group first Lion, then White Lion.

White Lion was signed by Elektra records in 1983 and recorded their debut album Fight To Survive. However, Elektra was unhappy with the final recording and, after refusing to release the album, terminated their contract.

Both Capozzi and Robinson soon left the band. Nicki Capozzi was replaced by former Anthrax drummer Greg D'Angelo, and Felix Robinson was replaced by bassist Dave Spitz (brother of Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz). Within a month of joining, however, Dave Spitz left to play bass with Black Sabbath and was replaced by James Lomenzo.

The album Fight To Survive was eventually picked up by RCA and released in Japan in 1984. The small US independent label Grand Slamm records finally released Fight To Survive in the US on November 9, 1985. A few months later, Grand Slam records went bankrupt.

In early 1986 White Lion, with a fictitious "female" member, had a brief part in the Tom Hanks/Shelley Long movie The Money Pit.

The following year, Atlantic Records released White Lion's second album, Pride, which brought significant success for the band, especially the single "Wait", which climbed to 8th place on the U.S. charts and was popular among fans of heavier metal as well. "When the Children Cry" was an even bigger hit, reaching 3rd place on the charts. That year Atlantic Records also released Fight to Survive worldwide and White Lion toured with Frehley`s Comet, Kiss, AC/DC & Stryper.

In 1989 the album Big Game came out and was a still more successful, helping to solidify White Lion's place among the top tier of hard rock bands of that time. The band's cover of "Radar Love", a classic originally recorded by Golden Earring, was the hit single off of Big Game.

1991 brought Mane Attraction, which was their best album yet, according to Greg D'Angelo, containing the top tracks "Lights And Thunder" and a new version of "Broken Heart", which had been one of their first songs off of their debut album.

In 1992, Greg D'Angelo and James Lomenzo had enough of Tramp and Bratta's continuous fighting, so they left the band. Bassist Tommy T. Bone Caradonna and drummer Jimmy De Grasso replaced them briefly, but in autumn of the same year, White Lion disbanded.

Greg and James have played in different groups after White Lion.
Vito Bratta concentrated on classic guitar playing and has not been involved with any bands since.
Mike Tramp went on to form and front Freak Of Nature, a short-lived project spanning 1993-1994, with Danish friend Oliver Steffenson. In 1998 Mike released Capricorn, his first of four solo albums.

In 2005, Tramp's White Lion - an all-new, much younger line-up fronted by Mike Tramp - toured and recorded the live album Rockin' The USA. In 2008 they released Return Of The Pride under the original name, White Lion.

Due to legal issues between Tramp and Bratta, White Lion is currently on hiatus.
