Def Leppard - Beyond The Temple (RARE) video free download
This is very rare Def Leppard track from the 1978-1980 bootlegged album Warchild.
This is an unreleased song entitled Beyond the Temple, and is reportedly one of the only tracks with original drummer Tony Kenning. I do not claim any of the rights to this song. (All rights reserved to Def Leppard and managment, and there label.)
Beyond the temple
There lies a tomb with a king from long ago
A traveler from a distant planet
Ten thousand years or so
The legend tells of an agin' man
Whose city he built alone
Till the pirates of our western world
Tore it down stone by stone
The clouds are gettin' heavy
As he points unto the sky
But with the guidance of his finger
He let the lightning fly
So don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price
He gathered up his people
And he took them underground
To the caves of silvery water
Where they never could be found
The king came to the surface
Could not believe what he had found
The temple left in ruins
His city knocked to the ground
He went back to his people
Sad news he had to tell
The only justice for the king
Was to put these men in hell
So don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price

His face showing sorrow
His heart full of grief
His life's work in ruins
Destroyed by a thief
His people just sit around
His children just cry
The king's mind is all confused
Just wonderin' why
The temple split in half
And scattered through the desert
The dust had risen in the air
The race of people had to
live in devastation
Why wasn't he even there?
Message from the gods to
gather up his people
The kingdom couldn't lose them there
That's when all the gods and
all are livin' peaceful
Just a galaxy away
The king rose up from underground
To light the darkened sky
Red lights, green lights,
blue lights flashing
It seemed a mile high
As it lifted from the ground
And soared into the air
The king looked at what might have been
A world that needed care
A storm had risen quickly
Across the take of hope
Now there's no trace of the king
Just a memory carved in stone
So don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Lightning don't strike twice
Don't turn around, don't turn around
Death is a very high price

Well, damn!! Pete could NOT have been a bigger drunk than Steve, obviously-- because Pete's still alive, and Steve is gone.... I loved Steve and hated when he died, but, I do think they should have called Pete when he passed... did they think that Pete couldn't take the fame and would have ended up with Steve? In any case, Long Live the Leppard!!! \m/11 years ago

@deflepphartme Both of those were filmed before '03, when they took a picture together and put it on DL.com. Though I do recall him saying something about him being a loser, he was referring to the drunk version of pete. Not the sober pete that they'd known before On Through the Night. It was what he had become.12 years ago

@pachor2 When the hell has he said that about Pete? Joe occasionally meets up with Pete and Tony whenever he comes to Sheffield. There isn't any "bad blood."12 years ago

Atomic Mass were an English hard rock/heavy metal band from Sheffield, who formed in 1977 as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. The group's core members along with newly-recruited singer Joe Elliott would go on to become Def Leppard, who would eventually become one of the UK's top-selling hard rock bands.14 years ago
