For My Sunday Song #478, we are going to get you on your feet and ready to fight with “Game On” by the Christian metal band Disciple. The song is off their sixth album called “Scars Remain” which was released on November 7, 2006. The album would go on to win Rock Album of the Year at the Dove Awards. The song, I don’t think was a single, but it was the theme song for the WWE Cyber Sunday 2006. And that should let you know what you are in for with this one.
The song was written by the whole band at the time, Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Joey Fife, Tim Barrett and Travis Wyrick. The song is about spiritual readiness, overcoming our past and getting ready to face life’s challenges it will throw at you. People or problems will attack you and you won’t be expecting it, so be ready to fight back. If someone goes against you, your country, your family, be ready for anything. Get yourself ready spiritually by letting God lead you in how to handle any situation. Don’t hold on to the pain, let God take control. Whenever I need a lift, this song will definitely do that. They lyrics speak of fighting, the bell rings, throwing down…all great tie-in’s to Wrestling so no wonder it was picked up as their theme song that year.
The song is aggressive, to say the least. It has loud guitars and drums and feels like a barrage of punches knocking some sense into you. Lead singer, Kevin Young, screams out the lyrics with an intensity that is matched with the aggressive nature of the song. There is anger, but not like you think. It is more like confidence as God is on his side. The best part is towards the end when Kevin speaks the first couple of lines of the verse, then he gets a little more intense until everything simply explodes, the music and his guttural screams. By the time it is all over, you are ready to take on the world…and then put the song on repeat. A stadium, rock anthem that is a great battle-cry.
Give the song a listen and let me know what you think? Are you ready to take on the world after hearing this one? Don’t play it while driving your car because road rage could become a problem if someone cuts you off!!! LOL!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy Sunday!! Go and take on the world!!
“Game On”
When the lights go up and the game is on
Are you ready for me? ‘Cause I’m ready for you
When the bell rings out and the fight is on
Are you ready for me? ‘Cause I’m ready for you
It’s time for us to start throwing down
Take a look and see who’s standing now
Didn’t even know that you and I were cross
Until a sneak attack from the weak side
Unaware that we were in a fight
I guess that’s part of the problem, but guess what
Say what you want to say about me
Throw up what you want to throw up at me
But when you mess with those that are around me
That’s when you and I will have a problem
I’m not afraid of loving my enemies
Turning the other cheek
Blessing those that would curse me
I honestly want peace with you
But when you come against my country
When you come against my family
You try to destroy my people
I can’t just stand by
There’s no way that I can stand by
This time, I will not stand by
I am coming, and if I come, then pain is coming with me
I’m coming, and pain will be with me
