The stage is pitch black as we walk onto it. I can hear the crowd screaming our names. It excites me in a way nothing has ever come close, it's the only drug I'll ever need. My drummer sits at his drum set, I know he's smiling like the doofus he is. My guitarists and bassist step out on either side of me and start the intro, the crowd gets a little quieter in anticipation, waiting for us to start singing their song. The strobe light starts flashing, with each flash we get in a different pose, eliciting a few chuckles from the crowd and other band members. Finally the smoke drifts across the stage and blood red lights focus on Sasuke and I. I tilt my head back and just let everything flow out; this is our song for the beaten.
S- "we have to find a better way out of this tragedy! As the battle rages on. Blood stains the ground we're on. My ears hear only screams. Brave soldiers are dying! One Spartan stands alone and shouts"
I smile and watch the crow writher in anticipation of our next line, this is the line that says it all. I sing along and think 'this is all I really need, the thrill of being up here, the love of the crowd, no one can take this away' I smirk and scream.
G&S- "THIS WAR IS OURS!"
S- "this war is ours"
G- "yes I will see you through the smoke and flames on the front lines of war"
S- "we have to find a better way"
G- "and I will stand my ground until the end. Until we conquer them all"
S- "we have to find a better way"
S- "through the fire and flames a sea of dead drives men insane. We mach the fight into the cold. This is as far as it will go. The battle rages on top of here this is where we conquer fear. On black out armed with our swords"
G&S- "THIS WAR IS OURS!" S- "YEAH!"
G&S- "this war is ours"
I repeat he chorus and by this time the entire crowd is chanting and singing along with us. This song is our battle cry. It gives hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, and courage to the frightened. This song is for them. But this song is also a warning. It's a warning saying I will never give up. I will find him. I'll find the man who murdered my family.
