Light Up The Sky (Van Halen Cover)

about

Our tribute to the late great Eddie Van Halen. Eddie's passing was an enormous knock to the rock and metal comunity and the roots of Reaper were definitely laced with his guitar playing as a key inspiration. Listening to Fair Warning and Women And Children First as young aspiring guitarists transfixed both Anthony and Dan with shred guitar playing. Needless to say, that's become an enormous part of our mission statement and we hope we did the big guy justice with this cover of a SUPREMELY underated VH song from VHII

lyrics

Yeah, we're all fast breakers coming outta the gate
Take your chances on the crash and burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty but you never gave a love
Cross the line where none return

I watch fake television
Almost lost my mind when t said
"Open your eyes leave it all behind"

I heard the winds a-whispering
Strong magic coming on
It's coming out for sure
Come see your children, yeah
They're lighting up the skies
They won't recognize them anymore

Wolves at my door, gotta wise up quick
Turned here and gone from on the go
Seems the old folks who come up short
Were the pretty little kids who didn't wanna know

I had some crazy visions
One I can't deny when it said
"Open my eyes leave it all behind"

Mother feeds the firelight
Coming out tonight
Mother feeds the firelight
Lighting up the sky

Light Up The Sky
