Lion's Share - "Shotgun Messiah" (lyric video)

You're out there
I know you're around
Evil's your guide,
Heart of stone deep inside
Yes, I know you
You're hungry
You're wanting it all
Don't care at all,
About the people who fall
I have seen it.

I know you don't need a reason
For all the things that you've done
I know you don't care at all
You will carry on

Shotgun Messiah
You're spreading your disease
Shotgun Messiah
Won't get to me

You're laughing
That look in your eyes
Speaking your mind, truth is nowhere to find
We don't need it
I know you don't need a reason
For all the things that you've done
I know you don't care at all
You will carry on

Shotgun Messiah
You're spreading your disease
Shotgun Messiah
Won't get to me

You're out there
I know you're around
Evil's your guide, heart of stone deep inside
Yes, I know you
I'm out here
Don't want you around
Don't want to hear ´bout your visions of fear
Had enough now
I know you don't need a reason
For all the things that you've done
I know you don't care at all
You will carry on

Shotgun Messiah
You're spreading your disease
Shotgun Messiah
Won't get to me
Shotgun Messiah
You're spreading your disease
Shotgun Messiah
Won't get to me

Το τραγούδι "Shotgun Messiah" το γνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο των Lion's Share "Entrance" που κυκλοφόρησε το 2001. Εν έτει 2020 η Σουηδική μπάντα το επανηχογράφησε και το κυκλοφόρησε -προ ημερών- σε single. Στα πλήκτρα ακούμε τον Mats Olausson (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ark, Iron Mask, Evil Masquerade, Silver Mountain κλπ), ο οποίος απεβίωσε προ πενταετίας...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Lion's Share releases new single and lyric video “Shotgun Messiah 2020 re-recording”. Swedish heavy metal band Lion's Share has made a new song available on on streaming services and digital service providers today, August 18th.

The song originally appeared on Lion's Share's fourth album "Entrance" (2001). The Lion's Share catalog features appearances by members and ex-members of KISS, Megadeth, King Diamond, HammerFall, Symphony X, Chimaira, Therion, Yngwie Malmsteen, Candlemass, Sorcerer etc.

Mixers include top engineers such as Jens Bogren (Arch Enemy, Opeth, Symphony X, Amon Amarth) - Niklas Flyckt (one-time Grammy award winner and four-time nominee) and Ronny Lahti (Roxette, Europe, Glenn Hughes, Electric Boys etc). Lion's Share has so far released six albums, an EP and several digital singles worldwide.

The band have toured in Europe with bands like Motörhead, Manowar, DIO, Saxon, Iced Earth, Nevermore, UDO, Dee Snider and have played many of the major festivals. A couple of years ago Nils Patrik Johansson (vocals) and Lars Chriss (guitars) decided to keep Lion's Share as a duo, with friends helping out wherever needed.»

Nils Patrik Johansson: «Once again we invited Andy Loos (bass), and my son Nils Fredrik Johansson (drums), to help us out in the studio. The keyboards were kept from the original "Entrance" recordings that the late Mats Olausson (Yngwie Malmsteen), did back in 2001.»

Lars Chriss: «Very cool to revisit this fan favorite with an updated production and our current sound nineteen years later. It's amazing how great it fits stylewise with our new songs that we've released over the last couple of years.»
