[Verse 1]
Your price, name the time
The suspect or the crime
The shadow of my gun
Get down or you can run
Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire
Empty room, turn the key
You're never alone when you're with me
Temptation, break the vow
Cut flesh from the sacred cow

[Chorus]
Unchain the tiger, kiss the flame, feel your desire
Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire

[Verse 2]
Soaked in fear, the curtain falls
Religion within these walls
Mystify my soul beliefs
Confession is my release

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Pearl of euphoria, pearl of euphoria[x3]

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.
