Miyako had British metal in mind when she wrote the opening track of the EP. Miyako really hoped that Miho would love this one. Sure enough Miho was the first to have something to say about it! Since it (LOVEBITES tribute to Iron Maiden, Aces High) became a song that makes you scream 'twin lead'! This is a great song to see live! From the EP Battle Against Damnation Lyrics: Miho Music: Miyako Arrangement: Miyako/Lovebites
LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics: Walking in shadows, immersed in deception While hiding our agony, faking a smile Pulling the trigger to lose my religion All of the truth ends up murdered by lies Dancing with demons, they seem to be fond of me Let’s start the ritual for the revenge Pulling the trigger to burn non-believers Being the odd one out drives me insane I’m a fool in disguise You’d never realize Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade Wanting an answer, but losing myself While I’m hiding my anger behind empty smiles Pulling the trigger to punish the traitors All of your words were just nothing but lies Crawling in chaos, I’m losing my breath, tell me What do you see through your sinister eyes? Pulling the trigger to kill the oppressors I had no choice but to hide when I cried
Found myself in its song Where else would I belong? Break free Always believe, hope is the key Break free Heart made of steel, knight of ordeal Deep down Destroy the restraints, never again Deep down It’s time to begin the crusade SOLO: midori / miyako Break free Fight to live on, forever strong Break free Heart made of steel, show me what’s real Deep down My heartbeat and blood burning with love Deep down Be true to yourself and your beliefs It’s time to get up and breath ----- lyrics: miho music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Battle Against Damnation EP 06/06/2018
Great reaction. As you may noticed, this is a tribute to Aces High of Iron Maiden. This studio recorded version is missing one phenomenal part in the mixing. Miyako the dark haired guitarist is doing a great tapping riff behind the part "break free". You can try it in live performances from Wacken Open Air 2018 th-cam.com/video/X-pMhF0f-UQ/w-d-xo.html, or from Tokyo Dome City Hall 2021 th-cam.com/video/0guewPdnrKQ/w-d-xo.html.
Miho (bass/former band leader), who composed this song, came up with the melody at an Iron Maiden concert venue. And the live video used here is from a year after their first live performance and half a year after their major label debut.

Asami kills it on this one - One of my favorite Lovebites songs.
This is supposed to be reminiscent to "Aces High" by Iron Maiden...
Greatest Maiden song not written by Maiden.

LOVEBITES - The Crusade lyrics:
Walking in shadows, immersed in deception
While hiding our agony, faking a smile
Pulling the trigger to lose my religion
All of the truth ends up murdered by lies
Dancing with demons, they seem to be fond of me
Let’s start the ritual for the revenge
Pulling the trigger to burn non-believers
Being the odd one out drives me insane
I’m a fool in disguise
You’d never realize
Found myself in its song
Where else would I belong?
Break free
Fight to live on, forever strong
Break free
Heart made of steel, show me what’s real
Deep down
My heartbeat and blood burning with love
Deep down
It’s time to begin the crusade
Wanting an answer, but losing myself
While I’m hiding my anger behind empty smiles
Pulling the trigger to punish the traitors
All of your words were just nothing but lies
Crawling in chaos, I’m losing my breath, tell me
What do you see through your sinister eyes?
Pulling the trigger to kill the oppressors
I had no choice but to hide when I cried
Found myself in its song
Where else would I belong?
Break free
Always believe, hope is the key
Break free
Heart made of steel, knight of ordeal
Deep down
Destroy the restraints, never again
Deep down
It’s time to begin the crusade
SOLO: midori / miyako
Break free
Fight to live on, forever strong
Break free
Heart made of steel, show me what’s real
Deep down
My heartbeat and blood burning with love
Deep down
Be true to yourself and your beliefs
It’s time to get up and breath

This song was composed by Miyako, not Miho, Miho wrote the lyrics!
@@obud3777 I was completely mistaken.
Thanks for pointing it out to me.
No worries Wolfpack friend!@@ahodori-dl5hz
