This Means War!
This Means War! is the ninth studio album of the Christian rock band, Petra. It was released in 1987.
In this album, the band started to refine their movement into a more hard rock/arena rock sound, still retaining keyboard synthesizers to back the driving guitar work. This album also signaled the beginning of a military motif present in the song lyrics that the band would carry through several of their following albums.

All songs written by Bob Hartman, except where noted.

This Means War (Tank album)
This Means War is the third album by British heavy metal band Tank, released in 1983. On this album, the line-up expanded to a four-piece, with the addition of second guitarist Mick Tucker, former member of the NWOBHM band White Spirit. Thanks to Tucker's songwriting contributions and to the sound expanded by an extra guitar, the band changed their music in comparison with their previous albums with longer, more melodic compositions, which helped differentiate Tank from Motörhead, the band they were often compared to.
Track listing
All songs written by Tank (A. Ward, P. Brabbs, M. Tucker, M. Brabbs).

This War
We will survive this war
Love and hate in limbo
With myself
Cant take in stride the old ways
Cycled through as new ways to die
Changing strong willed intellect
In to flocks of mindless drones
Taking all but whats been programmed
Its time
Its time to rise in opposition
This recession is getting old
For too long
Stood by and watched life burn
This conversation goes one way
Hear me now
Engage death on my soul
To rain mercy on you
Exalted leaders become our crutch
For power and strength
We all must fall to the remnant
Of what was lost we long for
Wait for me my love
Wait forever more
We all follow exalted leaders
Lead us away from heaven
Wait for me my love
Give me strength once more
We are weakening
Exalted leaders become our crutch
Engage death on my soul
To rain mercy on you
One more time
I see it every day
Take control
Supplement our ways
Wait for me love
Wait for me every day
Give me strength
To move on
Engage death on my soul
