Songwriter: Joe Elliott Richard Savage

Producer: Ronan McHugh Def Leppard

Darkness falling
Midnight calling
It's a full moon warning
Devil's dawning
Gotta get myself
Back home
Down amongst
The dust and bones
I gotta heart that
Slashed and torn
I need a soul
To be reborn again

Forever is only a kiss away
Just close your eyes and be free
I gotta battle of my own

Dead man walking
He's double talking
Lovers dreaming
But they
Wake up screaming
Night time
It just won't wait
So learn to love
The things you hate
It's like a deadly deja vu
And it could be the
Death of you again

Is this a leap of faith
Or just a fall from grace?
Because I feel no pain
And I feel no shame
Is this the sound
Of a madman
Or just a good man
Gone insane?
And my demons
Lie sleeping
Till my dreams come
Creeping in
Again and again

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
