[Verse 1]
I close my eyes I bend in prayer
I train my mind to just not care
And to my god I give my soul
I train my mind to cruise control

[Chorus]
Daylight shines upon the hour of my faith
I step in to the sun
I shield my eyes from the glory of the morning
And blow it all to kingdom come

[Verse 2]
I hear my god he calls my name
I must atone all men can change
And for my god I ring the bell
I will condemn the infidel

[Chorus]
Daylight shines upon the hour of my soul
I step in to the sun
I shield my eyes from the glory of the morning
And blow it all to kingdom come

[Verse 3]
So when I was a boy you came to me
I made up my mind
Surrender all time and space to him
And blow the world to kingdom come

[Chorus]
Daylight shines upon the hour of my faith
I step in to the sun
I shield my eyes from the glory of the morning
And blow it all to kingdom come
And blow it all to kingdom come

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.
