about

The first song written by Eddie and company. Inspired by friends Brian T. and Jay F. while in the studio. Re-recorded for this release.

Uses complex metaphors like "dragons" and "demons" to discuss the dangers of drugs. Uses enigmatic images such as "swords" and "shields" to metaphorically discuss the importance of accountability partners as weapons in the war on drugs.

lyrics

PURGE! Purge yourself of poison.
FIGHT! It's a fight to save your soul.
DRAGONS! Seeking you in the darkness...
DEMONS! Fleeing my blade of light.

It takes love to keep us strong,
To keep us fighting on and on,
Until the break of dawn.

With the Shield of Time and the Crystal of Fate
I've come to save the world.
I'll fight to the death with my very last breath
Just to save you, girl.

When he met like-minded rockers Brandon, Phil, and Lars, he did more. He forged a band that rocks harder than any alloy from the steel mill.

He forged Steel Maverick.
