Strike Anywhere

Strike Anywhere is a melodic hardcore band from Richmond, Virginia. Formed in 1999 after the demise of frontman Thomas Barnett's previous band, Inquisition, they took their name from the Inquisition song "Strike Anywhere". Their music is characterized by fast tempos, catchy melodies, and emotionally-charged vocals delivered via shouting and singing. The band has received an increased amount of attention after their music appeared in 3 Tony Hawk video games: Tony Hawk's Underground in 2003 ("Refusal"), Tony Hawk's American Wasteland in 2005 ("Question the Answer"), and Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam ("The Promise").

 Struggling with Chalkline? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

We see the billboard girl
The one devoted to ritual
Standing in the rain
Holding all of her pain inside

I know you're hurting now
But I can't point my finger at
The words I should or shouldn't say
Anything
To take the pain away

To walk alone on the streets tonight
And fear nothing
To choose to love what we are in this life
And shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
Make you feel
That you're not real
All this time walk out
Out of the shadows

We see the lines in chalk
The warning sign for where we walk
In the shadows of the cities maze
To try and fight
For better days

Yeah we're ungrateful
Yeah we're ungrateful for
Holy books, religious men
Values of beauty, original sin
All this time we unwind it
I won't give up, I'm not afraid

Resister go
As long as it takes
To reverse the hypocrisy
Challenge the stakes
Of safety and survival
At the heart
Of women's voices
Women's art

To walk alone on the streets tonight
And fear nothing
To choose to love what we are in this life
All that matters
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
I won't give up
Through all this time walk out
Out of the shadows

If we take
Our strength
To market
To trade
For their
Ugly
Beauty
Watch us
Grow up
To war
