Dokken - Erase The Slate Lyrics






Contradiction it's an expedition into darkness
Aggravation is the inspiration into madness
Soon the day will come when all the world will finally see
It's a matter of time / the sand will run out
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
My religion is a mind condition as it turns out
Hesitating while my soul sits waiting through my blackout
Soon the day will come down when I'll reflect on all those years
My perfect world / sublime and surreal
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Time and time remember when
Life forgave my call
Too much pride / could not repent
Can't escape at all
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
And start again
Erase the Slate (Erase the Slate)
Erase the Slate
And start all over again
Erase the Slate

    Reb Beach makes everything better.

    THAT ENDING THOUGH...

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG!! I LOVE THIS INSANELY WICKED SONG!! CAN'T BELIEVE THAT~BEFORE NOVEMBER 2015~I FLAT OUT REFUSED TO LISTEN TO ANY DOKKEN ALBUM/ANY DOKKEN SONG THAT DID NOT FEATURE GEORGE LYNCH AS THE GUITARIST!! GOD~WAS THAT INCREDIBLY STUPID~ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE ALWAYS ALWAYS LOVED DON DOKKEN'S VOICE!! DON DOKKEN IS A BRILLIANT SONG WRITTER/ LYRICIST~DEFINITELY THE BEST SONG WRITTER EVER!! WHILE GEORGE LYNCH HAS ALWAYS ALWAYS BEEN MY MOST FAVOURITE GUITARIST EVER~I HAVE TO SAY THAT REB BEACH IS A VERY CLOSE SECOND!! THIS SONG~ESPECIALLY~
    •"ERASE THE SLATE"
    •"DROWN"
    •"SHATTERED"
    •"HAUNTED LULLABYE" & OF COURSE
    •"CRAZY MARY GOES ROUND"~{I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD ADMIT THIS~}~
    ARE DEFINITELY SOME OF DOKKEN'S BEST WORK!!

    Excellent song! Who cares if Lynch is absent, this guy (Reb Beach from Winger, I'll have to check that band out too) sounds even better in my opinion. Lynch is overrated anyway.

    E.... T....

    Lynch is overrated???? Baahahha!! What are you smokin'?

    E.... T....

    @lwe2216 he's still an amazing guitarist, but he's overrated!

    E.... T....

    Uhh, no.

    E.... T....

    It has been two years since this comment and I agree with you that Reb Beach is a phenomenal guitar player. Have you checked out his other bands material yet Winger? Winger also has amazing albums and songs. I love their first two studio albums big time, but I love all their albums after way more. Their third album Pull is really amazing and I really love Winger IV and Karma alot. This coming April will be my third time seeing Reb Beach play. This time it will be with Whitesnake, the last two times were with Winger and Dokken. Reb Beach is an amazing guitar player and very underrated in my opinion.

    E.... T....

    I'd put Wingers album PULL in particular up against ANY hard rock band from the 80's - 90' releases.

  8. P.... J....

    This album is certainly appropriately named after Shadowlife.

    George Lynch, you talented Tiki Idol Head. Why'd you ever give Dokken the idea to record a grunge album?

    P.... J....

    I honestly think Dysfunctional and even the underrated, obscure Hell to Pay are appropriately named as well.

    P.... J....

    That was the producer Gray's fault, he insisted the band remove any trace of 80s sound

    P.... J....

    Grunge sucked so badly.

    P.... J....

    @Myst Nah.

    P.... J....

    Grunge itself wasn't bad just bad for DOKKEN. WHO already had their OWN sound Lynch killed them from the inside. The Shadow life album wasn't terrible... It just wasnt DOKKEN.

  9. C.... H....

    All guitar work on this album courtesy of Winger's amazing ax man, Reb Beach.

  10. H.... G....

    thanks!

  11. T.... ....

    That'd be Mick saying "We've got one more ready, and my name's not Eddie, and then hey-when? 1-2-3-4!"

    T.... ....

    "and then they went..."

    T.... ....

    Are you sure? to me it sounded like " We done Won already and my name's not Eddie and then hey when..1,2,3,4."

    T.... ....

    I always thought he said "like in Van Halen"

    T.... ....

    BryanX 64,
    You heard it right.
    But, doesn’t anyone notice that it’s almost exactly like the intro to Zep’s the Ocean?
    “Done four already *but* now we’re steady, and then they went: 1,2,3,4”

  12. N.... B....

    q onda deberias suvir todo el disco ya q me late un chingo lo tengo pero el cd esta roto!

  13. S.... ....

    cool beginning like the ocean

  14. L.... ....

    What I miss on this Album (and any album after Back for the attack) is Dons memoryable singing style...like on Kiss of death or dream warriors.
    It is still melodic here but not superduperultra melodic. :D

    L.... ....

    I prefer it like this, his voice has a little more edge to it.

  15. S.... K....

    This album with Reb Beach on guitar rocks! This song, Change The World, and Maddest Hatter are all great songs!!!

  16. H.... G....

    What is the guy saying at the beginning?

  17. b.... ....

    Saw Dokken when I was in college and this album was released. Great vocals and instrumentals. A band for the ages. Rock on Don & Mick!!!

    b.... ....

    Keep this in mind, the best way to introduce someone to Dokken is to show them the mid-new stuff first so they can form an opinion before they develop any sort of Lynch bias and decide not to check out the new stuff, and *then* show them the classics, because no matter what they'll probably love the classics regardless of the order you introduce them in.

  18. M.... ....

    @jgrahamwireless AGREE! AMEN...

  19. J.... G....

    @MnzGmz ....this Dokken record is unreal!! Awesome sound without George....Great from beginning to end.

  20. M.... ....

    REB BEACH ROCKS!!!!!!

  21. T.... M....

    dokken is not that good without lynch but i only listen to dokken because don is the best vocalist in metal and same for the legend RJD

    T.... M....

    You're an idiot, aren't you? This kicks ass and brings a new style and sound to the band that you would've never heard had Lynch stayed, Dokken kicks ass without Lynch and just about everyone who can stomach anything heavier than hair metal would probably agree with me.

  22. J.... K....

    @Maxharddrive64 whats the other 10%

    J.... K....

    The other 10% is the new Dokken and Queensryches albums. (The Verdict (Queensryche) Was actually really good) and Don's newest albums Lightning Strikes Again, Solitary, and Broken Bones also kick ass.

    J.... K....

    And I guess Ozzy has released a pretty good new album, and then we have the stuff going on with End Machine, etc.

  23. B.... F....

    Yeah...it was a typo

  24. T.... ....

    You mean without Lynch? This is Reb. They both rock, regardless.

  25. B.... F....

    this song kicks so much ass... it's ridiculous... i wassn't sure how dokken would sound without reb beach but this is great!

  26. M.... ....

    This is better than anything realeased by 90% of the new bands today.

  27. Y.... ....

    Thanks for uploading!!
