LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics: What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Who will be the next to burn？ God only knows the victim Everyone knows they are innocent All the hope is gone In despair they pass away There was no hope to begin with Even the angels are giving up Looking down on us Will this night ever break dawn (Bring down justice to the wicked) SOLO: midori / mi-ya [miyako] What's the worst way to die？ Burning to death, or drowning？ Everyone laughs in derision There's no hope at all Why is the world rotting away Howling in pain, they slowly die All of the sorrow is murderous The insanity (Burn up) They're calling me (Burn up) It's do or die (Burn up) Get ready for hell (Bring down justice to the wicked) Don't look away from the mistakes Open your eyes, and see the truth When lightning cracks the blackened sky Listen to the screams of distress It's like a bad dream but it's not No way to get out, a living nightmare Bring down the Hammer of Wrath Bring down the Hammer of Wrath SOLO: mi-ya [miyako] ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017

This is the very first live performance after one and half year hiatus, that's why Asami cried "We are back" before start singing, caused by the departure of the former bassist Miho, hence this is the debut song for Fami.

[@marks5451]

Usually Asami (vocals) writes most of their lyrics and they are mainly uplifting. But Miho (bass) wrote the lyrics for this one and it has been mentioned that she had some dark times.

[@TwistedGunZ]

Ill be honest, never did I think I would be so affected by the lyric breakdown before. I always like trying to break them down and try to get an understanding from the writers perspective but after listening to this song, I stopped recording and was just down all day. Maybe it was a combination of how grand the concept was talking about the world as a whole and me feeling confronted with how I see the world through my own eyes also. The lyrics just hit on another level and I personally don't know If I could listen to this song again after feeling that way. It's a beautiful song but those lyrics for me are just next level of dark.

[@dregeye]

​@@TwistedGunZ Greetings. From my perspective (I am 72) LOVEBITES has a 'wholistic' view of life on Earth. Though Miho did bring some harsher themes in her songs, she also brings a more subtle form of "release" with "open your eyes & see the truth" and "Bring down justice to the wicked". She also is possibly most eclectic in her composing, including "Don't Bite The Dust" and "Break The Wall" ... Her 'view' of humanity does not deny, but integrates our brutality. Asami is inclined toward giving account of life's challenges while also bringing more vivid and literal uplifting encouragement in a majority of her lyrics. My suggestions for an honest, yet more positive message, "Rising" LIVE 2020 [cc] lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ_GmmuBqb19hs0 "Today Is The Day" LIVE 2021 [cc] lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKaknmewiaiHpJo "When Destinies Align" LIVE 2021 embedded lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2WbgKp9mLlmeNE "Bravehearted" studio-LIVE 2022 embedded lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWeZhpprmJiUgNE You will find they never 'sugar-coat' life on Earth, but also embrace self-empowerment, personal-responsibility & unity. A fuller understanding of where they are 'coming from', is their song about being atomic-bombed, The only peoples on Earth to know of such a catastrophic experience, that has not been forgotten ... a song used to close many of their shows, including recent concerts in 2023: "Under The Red Sky" LIVE 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpO1aml-g5xqiLs Life on Earth is much more than a 'heavy metal picnic' and LOVEBITES brings encouragement to face whatever challenges & struggles we encounter. A good thing for what is to come in our near immediate future, or present, depending on your geographic location. 🐺 dreg👁

@@dregeye Thank you for giving me some backstory on their creative writing and some song recommendations. We the united was such an uplifting and empowering song, from Asami's point of writing from my interpretation of what you wrote. This song felt like a complete 180 from that. This song made me fall into despair just like the lyrics convey. I can definitely see the differences in their styles of writing. Both songs are amazing in their own way. We the united helps uplift and empower you while this song forces you to confront what is the worst in human nature. I think if this song did anything for me, it made me sit down and reflect on who I am as a person and evaluate what I need to do better. It was an amazing song but she really hits you like a truck and put it as blunt as any song I'v ever listened to before.

[@dregeye]

​@@TwistedGunZ Thank you for replying. Your words, "sit down and reflect on who I am as a person and evaluate what I need to do better" is exactly my response to LOVEBITES in general. As a human being, as a member of a society, as parent, & child. Also, as a musician ... guitarist, drummer, singer-songwriter, in creating music & writing lyrics that express 'my world view'. LOVEBITES is, as their first album title clearly states, is an "Awakening From Abyss" and I am inspired by their music each day since (Spring 2020). Their recognition of humanity's brutality is essential (imo) to 'paint' a complete 'picture' of life-on-Earth. Challenges must be faced honestly or no resolution can be realized. Personal-responsibility must be embraced and self-empowerment are integral to avoiding depression or despair. Finding a balance between these 'truths' is my goal, while 'treating others as I want to be treated' (from a non-religious perspective). I do find 'mutual respect' to be present in their 'themes'. Although several of my own original songs reflect similar themes, I will suggest "My Turn" [cc] lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noDJmHh_g9yLoJo (btw, "derision" definition: The act of ridiculing or laughing at someone or something.) I wish you well. 🐺 dreg👁

They are more popular world-wide than they and their record company think.

[@mmcpa]

Fami is such a bright light. It was a great choice that Asami, Miyako, Midori, and Haruna saw something in this young woman. When Miho left the band, and Lovebites went into hiatus, it was a low point for them. They honestly did not know their future. And then they did the bass auditions, and Fami, whom herself was contemplating her future and even considered quitting playing bass (I believe her thoughts went that far), entered their livres. With the marriage, it was as if it ignited both Fami and the original members to come back, and stronger than they ever were (individually and collectively). Nice reaction and analysis.

[@赤井臣也]

Fami-san is ranked No.3 on BURRN! magazine’s reader’s pop poll 2024‼️

[@GourangaPL]

if you enjoy this thrash metal style of lovebites other tracks you should hear are Break the wall and Thunder Vengeance, they are similar to this

[@rodhamm8484]

I usually don't pay much attention to lyrics, but there are some interesting lyrics in some of Lovebites songs, I like them here because they just seem metal to me, and I like the uplifting ones as well that can be found in many of their songs. Keep on rocking out to Lovebites! 🤘

[@daveminers3404]

Yeah, Fami is smiling a lot. She's 20 and is playing her first show of this size as their new bassist. If I was 20 and playing bass for one of the best bands on the planet, I'd be smiling too. I'd still be smiling.

[@TwistedGunZ]

Yeah she's absolutely amazing and I love her positive energy. Its a good feeling seeing someone so happy living out their dream, you kind of get second-hand happiness from it. I have another lovebites song down the road with their old bassist, Miho? And while she's good, I do miss the smile of Fami I will admit.

[@boyzyu]

My favorite band.

When Asami says GO, you say "How far?".

[@rainerzufall42]

"WE ARE BAAAACK !!!" (Asami) 365 days ago (March 11th), this was LOVEBITES first performance with an audience (after almost 2 years hiatus due to Covid-19 and the departure of bassist and founding band leader Miho for personal reasons), and the first ever for new bassist Fami. They were happy to be back on stage and had unlimited new energy and enthusiasm. This mini tour lasted 2 days (one weekend) and resulted in a live album each ("Knockin' At Heaven's Gate" and "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate Part II") with 5/18 different songs and different bonus material.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome!! By the way, this was the first show with Fami and also, it was the first time she played in front of a decent size crowd like this. If she was nervous i cant tell, she seems so happy im sure the nerves went away pretty quick!! 🤘🐺

[@1970Phoenix]

Still one of my top 5 LOVEBITES songs.

[@赤井臣也]

Interesting‼️ Asami-san is great lyricist、great composer 、great singer、 and she has wonderful humanity.

[@pinoypower69]

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

[@IAMisLove]

Subscribed. Great performance and reaction! LOVEBITES rock. If you would like to explore more and expand your channel, may I suggest a reaction to BABYMETAL. They are unique. Their music has a positive and uplifting message. They have a fun and awesome performance: BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL) Or: MAYA【Live Blu-ray/DVD「BABYMETAL BEGINS - THE OTHER ONE -」"BLACK NIGHT"】 Or to showcase the lead singer’s amazing voice: BABYMETAL - Monochrome - Piano ver. / THE FIRST TAKE 🖖 ❤

[@TwistedGunZ]

Babymetal is what got me into japanese metal. You'll see them here and there in my reactions. I dont wanna breakdown their lyrics but just enjoy their music because it really gets me energized and wanting to dance 😅😅

[@brunodemarchi908]

​@@TwistedGunZ Hi dear. Listen to Morissette Amon. Rise up Wish 107,5 FM radio station,his voice is already Legend. Un saluto dall'Italia. 😊🇮🇹

[@oldguymetal]

The performance gave the impression of a upbeat, uplifting song. I feel this is because the group had not been onstage for several years due to covid and finding a new bass player. They were all very excited and happy to be playing together again live.

[@ハルヒ-d1n]

🤘

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

If you're American, then Fami rhymes with mommy.

[@TwistedGunZ]

I mean 😅
