I like this video so much because it shows that Lovebites is the real deal; obviously no any post-production, just raw talent. I’ve noticed from these relatively old videos that they have been improving with time.

[dennismccormick]

LOVEBITES - Liar lyrics:
I always thought that you were my knight in shining armour
Took away my sorrow to feel I was your queen
Court jester
Hey I still can't believe you did this to me
Exiled from our castle as you crucified me

An executioner of every oath and vow of love
You played me
A sorcerer's enchanted spell's the iron maiden
And the ruler of my heart

You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
Cause you're just a liar

I'm fallen
Still wondering why you'd wanna do this to me
Reminded though it's tormenting my sanity now

A blasphemy
Nothing but a facade, a fake reality spun
I wish that I could put this pain into a spell of
Blackest magic on your heart

You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Still can't believe it took so long to see your disguise, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
Cause you're just a liar

You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Regret the day I ever looked inside of your eyes, yeah
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know
But then you let me go
No more
Just a lie

You're just a liar
A slayer of the soul
Still can't believe that it took so long to see
Through your disguise
You're just a liar
There's so much that I didn't wanna know but then
You let me go
Cause you're just a lie

LOVEBITES - Bravehearted lyrics:
Throw away all the masks that you wear
You're not fooling nobody with cheap imitations
Don't take it, your heart can see right through it all

Turn and face all the fear that you're hiding from
Take what you can and turn everything into your own strength
Keep pushing forth, all the way

Chained to the fear engraved deep inside
Memories that will stay, still haunting
Even if there is nobody else
You must keep the promise of faith

Don't you pity yourself for your weakness
Without any sacrifice, you can forget all the prayers
It's up to you to be your God

Drowning into a sea of hopelessness
Underneath all the weight and burden
If you want to escape destiny
Be prepared to burn through the blazing sun

Glory to the brave, deserted you may stand
But no matter how arduous, be the victorious
Prove that your will's the strongest battle cry
Go and raise your sword, the war has just begun
There is always a way if you know that your heart is true
Nothing can stop your soul from breaking free

Don't turn your back, no don't make it pretend
Fight through the pain until you've reached the end
Though dark and bloody, have no worries
There will be redemption
Finally when the skies rise over you
Triumph will be in your heart shining through
Forever guiding the way into the light

Silently listening to words of Hell and hate
Shatters the armour to sway your fragile heart
Still it's the only way, refuse to give it up
Keep the focus, and you will notice
Everything is almost in your grasp

Drowning into a sea of hopelessness
Underneath all the weight and burden
If you want to escape destiny
Be prepared to burn through the blazing sun

Glory to the brave, deserted you may stand
But no matter how arduous, be the victorious
Prove that your will's the strongest battle cry
Go and raise your sword, the war has just begun
There is always a way if you know that your heart is true
Nothing can stop your soul from breaking free

Don't turn your back, no don't make it pretend
Fight through the pain until you've reached the end
Though dark and bloody, have no worries
There will be redemption
Finally when the skies rise over you
Triumph will be in your heart shining through
Forever guiding the way into the light

If you swear to God, you must see it through
The power is in your hands

LOVEBITES - Edge Of The World lyrics:
Why do we learn to hate, deceive and lie, hurt each other？
Why does it never end？ The sorrow keeps on repeating
Wailing, come downpours of the rain
Will it end？ No one ever knows
Wondering, what only time can tell
What is at the end of life？

Why do we only see our own desires？ Greed is endless
Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings

Struggling like feeble, helpless fools
Will it end？ No one ever knows
Wandering, not knowing where to go
Carrying the breath of life

Standing at… The Edge of the World

As long as you're still alive, remember
- don't fear standing up, don't ever give it up
Until the day you meet your end, it's not over
- let your soul shine inside of your heart
As long as you're still alive, remember
- keep your dignity, stay true to who you are
Until the day you meet your end, it's not over
- let your heart love and always be loved

How you live will always live on
As your way of life, forever
How you live will always live on
As your way of life, forever
How you live will always live on
As your way of life, forever

LOVEBITES - Scream For Me lyrics:
Communication breaking up and I can't figure it out
Baffled
So out of touch with what's to come
All because I just can't seem to get through to you

We wait
Debate
Our fate
Trying to escape from all the deceptive rules
I've had enough
So what's the way for us to get it？
Before you go shoot me down

Now's the time to come together
Hear me out
Cause what I think
What I'm thinking about is
If we let it take forever we just may lose it all
"So what I think
What I've been thinking's I just want to be me again"

We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more
Let go
Take a step into a new tomorrow
The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge
So you gotta let your soul be free - Panic fuzed me！

I wonder what you see whenever you're here standing in front of me
What would it take to make a break
From running in circles that only aggravate？
Inside we hide but why？
Genuine perspective could be the greatest gift we ever share
I care enough to talk about it
Come on
Please don't shoot me down

Now's the time to come together
Hear me out
Cause what I think
What I'm thinking about is
If we let it take forever we just may lose it all
So what I think
What I've been thinking's I just want to be me again

We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more
Let go
Take a step into a new tomorrow
The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge
So you gotta let your soul be free, yeah

Let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more
Let go
Take a step into a new tomorrow
The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge
So you gotta let your soul be free

We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more
Let go
Take a step into a new tomorrow
The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge
So you gotta let your soul be free, yeah

We gotta let go and just open up our heart and minds a little more
Let go
Take a step into a new tomorrow
The panic fuze is burning and the world's on edge
So you gotta let your soul be free - panic fused me！

LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics:
Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
But still I go on, my hunger is strong
Hoping that someone will grab my hand

Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
Maybe it's too late？
No one can save me
From all of the darkness and solitude

Cry, like shadows of the night
I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
Despite going through this hell
Cause still my heart has hope
No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

Reckless and fast, how long will I last？
Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
Hoping that someday I'll be repaid

Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
Am I all alone？
Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing

Hide, in shadows I reside
I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
In desolated land knowing no escape
But still I wish to live
Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
Before I fall down to depths of the abyss

Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
But still I go on, my hunger is strong
Hoping that someone will grab my hand

Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
Maybe it's too late？
No one can save me from solitude

Cry, like shadows of the night
I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
In desolated land knowing no escape
But still I wish to live
Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
Before I fall down to depths of the abyss

Like shadows of the night
I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
Despite going through this hell
Cause still my heart has hope
No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

LOVEBITES - Rising lyrics:
Failure or pride? The fear deep inside
Success doesn't come with a few empty tries
Fortune and fame, seem easy to claim
But those who've succeeded defeated the pain

Why give up on a life that you love?
Play the game with no shame till the very end

RISE AGAIN – though you're broken and scarred...
You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again!
DON'T LET GO – of what's deep in your heart
You are free to fly, go and change your destiny!

Too late to change? The past will remain
But it's up to you to decide on a name
Glory is not what miracles brought
The path you have taken will lead you the way

Why give up on a life that you love?
Play the game with no shame till the very end

LIVE AGAIN – with the vows in your heart
Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights
DON'T FORGET – that you've made it this far
Show your scars with pride and believe your history...

Sometimes we can't see the light anywhere
Sometimes we don't have our luck in the air
Almost like we've been left by ourselves
I'm alone, you're alone, somewhere in the world
But open your arms, look up and you will see an endless blue sky
l believe, you believe, we will live out today
So it leads to tomorrow!

RISE AGAIN – though you're broken and scarred
You can choose, not to lose, you can build it again
DON'T LET GO – of what's deep in your heart
You are free to fly, rise above your fate!

LIVE AGAIN – with the vows in your heart
Even if you get lost in the darkest of nights
DON'T FORGET – that you've made it this far
You are free to fly, go and change your destiny!

LOVEBITES - Break The Wall lyrics:
(DIE) No sign of my time
Cause I wish to live another life
(BY) Who will save my poor soul?
Crying alone in a dim hole
(MY) Can't believe it's real
Cause in the end, everything is gone
(SIDE) How should I live from now?
Find myself staring at the walls

Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the wall

(DIE)
No sign of my crime
Got my scars during wartime
(BY)
Who's the one that did it
Deadly venom eating me inside
(MY)
Spent my life in vain
I can't forget everything I've done
(SIDE)
I swear to my hatred
Find myself staring at the walls

Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the wall

(DIE)
No sign of my time
Cause I wish to live another life
(BY)
Who will save my poor soul?
Crying alone in a dim hole
(MY)
Can't believe it's real
Cause in the end, everything is gone
(SIDE)
How should I live from now?
Find myself staring at the walls

Tonight, I'll break the wall
It's now or never
Now, I'm on my own
I've gotta get free
Bite, I'll break the chain
Run to my shelter
Make it out alive
I have to break through the-
I have to break through the-
I have to break through the wall

MIYAKO! MIYAKO! MIYAKO! Assuming they stay together, they'll never be playing small venues like this again. I would trade any of my Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin or Queen concerts to have seen this one live.
