The Night - Lyrics - Fifth Angel

Fifth Angel was formed in the suburbs of Seattle in 1983, specifically, in the Bellevue area. The band's initial lineup consisted of Ted Pilot , James Byrd , Ed Archer , Ken Mary and Kenny Kay . This line up went into Steve Lawson Productions studio in late 1983 with Terry Date as producer engineer and recorded a four song demo that consisted of "Fade to Flames", "Fifth Angel", "In the Fallout", and "Wings of Destiny". Shrapnel Records signed them in 1985 and financed the recording of five more songs to complete a self titled album that eventually appeared in 1986.

You mustn't change the channel, wait until they scream a little more [Bridge] [Chorus] What is that on the corner, fighting in the darkness on the street? Can't wait to see what happens, just like TV violence that we need
