Backstory:

International Punishment was the brainchild of lead vocalist, James “Jax” Halliday, a former military man with a passion for music. After being discharged due to an injury, Jax found himself longing for the camaraderie he had in the military and decided to form a band as a way to replicate that brotherhood. He recruited three other members; Tony “T-Bone” MacGrath on bass, Peter “Pistol” Anderson on drums, and Ian “Iceman” Reagan on lead guitar.

As the band started to perform in local pubs and small-time gigs, their unique sound quickly started attracting attention. The band’s music reflected their experiences, and that resonated with listeners. They started touring around the globe, and their rise to fame was meteoric. Today, International Punishment is recognized as one of the world’s biggest bands, known for their powerful performances, meaningful lyrics, and the bond between their members.

Title:

“Warrior’s Psalm”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em D C
Walk alone, in the cold night,
G D Em
Underneath the pale moonlight.
Em D C
Warrior’s heart, in a constant fight,
G D Em
Dreams of peace, out of sight.

(Chorus)
G D Em
I am a warrior, I am who I am,
C G D
Walking through fire, I stand.
G D Em
In the face of danger, with no plan,
C G D
With my brothers, till the end, we stand.

(Verse 2)
Em D C
Scars of battle, etched in skin,
G D Em
A silent testament, to where I’ve been.
Em D C
Hear the warrior’s psalm, in the wind,
G D Em
A melody of courage, from within.

(Chorus)
G D Em
I am a warrior, I am who I am,
C G D
Walking through fire, I stand.
G D Em
In the face of danger, with no plan,
C G D
With my brothers, till the end, we stand.
