Def Leppard - Warchild Lyrics






Warchild, your heart is broken
Your mind is breakin', it's such a shame
Warchild, your body's broken
Your woman's taken, it's not a game

People once shared your wisdom
Shared your memory, shared your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

Warchild, I used to love you
The whole world loved you, we used to care
Warchild, your mind has been emptied
So all you do now is just sit n' stare

People once shared your wisdom
Shared your memory, shared your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

Your lady's waiting, she's hesitating
Not knowing why
Warchild, the pain you're showing
The pain is knowing that you're gonna die

People once shared your wisdom
Shared your memory, shared your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

  5. V.... S....

    I see i wasn't only one hearing Sabbath influence

  6. K.... L....

    Love it!

  7. w.... b....

    That's got to be Steve on the main middle section solo. God he was brilliant.

  8. S.... M....

    this is fuckin awesome!

  9. t.... e....

    Revisit this! Def Leppard need their balls back!

  10. c.... ....

    Sounds like Sabbath to me.

    c.... ....

    exactly

  11. O.... ....

    WTF is this ripoff shit

  12. A.... N....

    This sound like 70s heavy metal.. sounds like black sabbath and judas priest

    A.... N....

    Adam Ngangan Exactly what I was thinking, Sounds like Sweet Leaf and War Pigs

  13. i.... ....

    they need to release this early unreleased material...... it's genius !!!!!

    i.... ....

    itkojecockot I agree they need to release this

  14. f.... ....

    Very Judas Priest. Pete Willis where are you??

    f.... ....

    The riff is similar to victim of changes, if you ask me

    f.... ....

    With a touch of Jimi Hendrix.

  15. G.... ....

    The drummer is probably Frank Noon.

    G.... ....

    +Richard It's tony kenning, their original drummer

  16. d.... ....

    The 2-arm era of Def Leppard rules!!

    d.... ....

    +deekay2 yeah, Rick Allen was easily one of the best NWOBHM drummers when he had both arms......

    d.... ....

    Tony Kenning was on drums here

  17. W.... ....

    Their doom phase! The best

  18. C.... A....

    I know, but there were rumors three years ago about Man Raze and The Down N Outz. They're having their Fantasy Camp in Vegas with Lita Ford the same time they're performing Hysteria at the Hard Rock Casino.

  19. D.... ....

    Probably

  20. D.... ....

    1978 1977 1979??

  21. D.... ....

    Awesome!!!

  22. M.... ....

    Sure I can hear bits of various songs including; Warpigs, Tales of Brave Ulysses to name a couple.

  23. i.... ....

    This song wasn't released because Joe's vocal are shit. Would be better with another take.

  24. L.... ....

    They should re did all their early demos back before 93 when Joe still had his voice,
    I hate his voice now.

    L.... ....

    He's an older man now of course his voice isn't going to be the same as it was back in the day, that's called growing and changing. If you ask me I say he still sounds pretty good.

  25. v.... ....

    @Mastercaster1984 OMG! Dam... Im 17... never met anyone from def leppards team! Thats so freaking awesome!!! Could i maby talk to you on facebook :) Message me if you ever would consider... wauu! Just trying to make good songs... Chek out our band.. The Rock Brigade! :D

  26. S.... W....

    @Badfingerfan1 I was at their concert.
    They're still together.

  27. A.... ....

    There's probably lots of archive material for Def Leppard (and other bands) - music written but never recorded, stuff recorded but never used, etc - that fans would love and music historians would worship. Bands underrate their older material.

  28. S.... M....

    @avaneeshsamant
    there is, it's called Mirrorball

  29. k.... ....

    i wonder how kick ass they wouldve been if pete was still there?

  32. L.... ....

  36. R.... K....

    Is that Steve or Pete solo?

  37. F.... ....

    @avaneeshsamant Personally I like the raw sound. But I agree, this song and "Beyond the Temple" should have been released a long time ago.

  38. A.... S....

    @Badfingerfan1
    No they haven't, I've heard there's a new album coming up in 2011!

  39. M.... A....

    I just hope Def Leppard hasn't broken up, so that they can make another album.

  40. e.... ....

    and High 'N' Dry!!

  41. s.... ....

    To answer the question asked in the description, it's because it sounds too much like Sabbath (IMO). That said, if the boys were to put out like a box set (something long overdue), this would be a great addition to it. Could be a real treasure trove for those like me who wouldn't have been old enough to remember pre-Pyromania. Love the stuff they did with Pete and Steve, never quite had that raw agression again after the first two albums.

    s.... ....

    Pyromania was still amazing...... they started to suck in late 80's
