Kiss - And On The 8th Day Lyrics






The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life
are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild,
and I can feel the heat
They'll call you names and spit in your face,
but legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees
and pray and hold your head up high

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
Out of the ashes came the dawn
and the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on,
straight to kingdom come

You sold your soul and virginity,
ya can't rape a heart of gold
Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny,
now it can be told

[Chorus:]
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

Rock of ages carry the news
to the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock, let the heavens roar

[chorus repeats out...]

    Fucking awesome! KISS were ON on this track and the album too, shame about Vinnie he is a mess right now, I only hope he finds peace, I love his playing but it's so sad to see him as he is now, if he wants to live as a woman fine! Just want him/her to shred still : (

  16. �.... �....

    Его вокал это kiss 🤘🤘🤘

  18. M.... M....

    Just pick up your guitar on your knees and pray and hold your head up high and on the 8th day god created rock and roll

  19. D.... T....

    This is what happens when you try to compete with Slaughter.

    D.... T....

    This was 7 years before Slaughter's first album.

  20. R.... P....

    KISS of the 80s and on destroy everything they did in the 70s!

  21. V.... M....

    Bad to the Bone.

  22. S.... B....

    This is Vinnie's,"boyzz are gonna rock", basterdized for kiss album.

  23. G.... U....

    I'm a massive long time KISS fan but Crazy Nights is their worst album everything else they did was class

  24. T.... F....

    Listen to Warrior, VV's band...in particular the track Boys gonna rock. Its before Lick it up and VV joining Kiss. Then thank VV and NOT Gene for this song.

    T.... F....

    I hear ya but I really think Gene's voice fits this song very well as with a few others especially Dance all over your face from this album.

  25. t.... ....

    Gene's singing was at its most ferocious on 'Creatures...' and also particularly on 'Lick It up'

  26. t.... ....

    Another great VV riff.

  27. L.... C....

    Eric Carr was a beast on drums

    L.... C....

    Hell yeah he was

    L.... C....

    Drums so hard.

  28. W.... ....

    And On The 8th Day God created Gene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. G.... ....

    And by "Created Rock & Roll" they mean Led Zeppelin.

  30. R.... N....

    They avoid playing these songs because of Vinnie

    R.... N....

    They avoid any song, besides the usual 20 from the past 25 years in their setlist.

  31. I.... k....

    garbage

  32. T.... C....

    Great song, great album and great lineup!
    xoxo
    The Clarences

  33. M.... G....

    A very Who-like intro, certainly showing their influences

    M.... G....

    Matthew Gromelski I actually get it.

    M.... G....

    Great observation, I never drew that comparison but now that you mention it you are absolutely spot on!

  34. R.... S....

    I never liked Lick It Up album... but this song is a gem.

  35. T.... m....

    This should be in the set list!

  36. F.... G....

    Vincent Cusano was one of the most unique guitarists of his day. I loved his choice of notes, phrases, and different approach to solos. I wish he played like this after KISS.

  37. J.... B....

    The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life are grindin' out a brand new beat. The streets are grindin' with the call of the wild, and I can feel the heat. They'll call ya names and spit in your face, but legends never die. Just pick up your guitar, on your knees and pray and hold your head up high. You sold your soul and virginity, ya can't break a heart of GOLD. Yes you were born to rule it's your destiny, now it can be told. Rock of Ages carry the news to the heart of a brave new world. Feel the noise in the name of Rock, LET THE HEAVENS ROAR.

  38. J.... B....

    I would sing this in heaven or hell. Still a classic straight outta Detroit. Big heck ya

  39. r.... h....

    Did they ever play this live? I think it would have sounded great!

    r.... h....

    No... I think is a great song to play it live...

    r.... h....

    I live in Las Vegas, and every year out there, there's A "KISS Night" charity fundraiser event where local musicians and special guests get together to play KISS songs. One year, this song was played - can't say that for the actual band!

  40. D.... V....

    good song.

  41. A.... B....

    The ASYLUM álbum is the one, 1983 2001...!!!! Revenye is like

  42. A.... B....

    I like álbum DYNASTY, and like it up rock and roll over, Destroyer, ASYLUM, kiss kiss kiss the one álbum.........,and vídeo live in DETROY concer Animatize

  43. q.... ....

    Creatures , lick it up, asylum, and crazy nites were three good kiss albums. Animalize and hot in shade sucked.

  44. R.... ....

    A favorite.

  45. D.... 2....

    People write shit and can't write LICK IT UP completely.  Instead they write LIU.  Do you get tired of writing it completely?

    D.... 2....

    No offense, but does it matter?

  46. L.... ....

    It´s a great song but if I were to choose between seeing them live with or without the makeup I´d certainly go for the first alternative.

    L.... ....

    I would love to see Kiss live. With the original line-up...

  47. V.... ....

    More specifically, JESUS created rock n roll... It's true... If you don't understand, then you are just dumb or uneducated... and/ or don't know what rock n roll is..

    V.... ....

    Or even more specifically, you're inferior gods from the desert sand does not even exist!

    V.... ....

    And speaking of dumb and uneducated, believing in ancient religion from the middle east????

    V.... ....

    The Dionysus cult for goat herders. It's not even original. The Apostle Paul stole most of his moral wisdom from a Roman Philosopher named Seneca. The first to turn water into wine and resurrect from the dead was Zeus' son, Dionysus, a Greek god of wine born on December 25th to a virgin mother.We have been deceived.

    V.... ....

    shhh let me listen to the music

    V.... ....

    Jesus created rock n roll lol

    Uneducated and dumb lol

    Is this you speaking or the beer

  48. C.... ....

    Just listened to it. Even worse than he KISS version.

  49. G.... M....

    Argent!

  50. K.... ....

    They need to sing this song on the upcoming tour!

  51. K.... K....

    0 people in a ateist

  52. C.... ....

    No. Who did the original?

  53. G.... M....

    you do realize God gave Rock n Roll To You is a cover with added lyrics right?

  54. P.... K....

    If you had given Vinnie more freedom ... it would have been just him ... great song writer & player but too egoistic on stage

  55. C.... ....

    This song and "God Gave Rock N Roll To You" have almost identical lyrical content. Ran out of ideas??

    C.... ....

    god gave rock.... its a cover ...just a bit of knowledge :)

    C.... ....

    I believe God Gave Rock N Roll To You was originally by Mott The Hoople.

  56. j.... s....

    rockrob11, I totally agree about Vinnie as far as him being very one dimensional but they didn't have a whole lot of options since Ace was living up to his "Space Ace" rep ya know? Now if they had someone like maybe a Steve Vai could you imagine those songs? And even though Vinnie wasn't the best at the time, those songs are still pretty bad ass!

  57. j.... s....

    Absolutely one of their best songs from the 80's. This and I Love It Loud have that classic thunderous Gene Simmons type feel. The beginning of this song, I love It Loud and War Machine are some of the best openings of any songs from that time period. Just punches you in the gut.

  58. B.... ....

    @McHaddawayHammer Of course Vinnie's name came second! Vinnie is a douche. Even the other guys in KISS didn't really like him.

  59. B.... ....

    @MeteoraXV Well, animalize was good. But, one of my least favorite KISS records.

  60. L.... P....

    fantastic song!!

  61. f.... ....

    @MeteoraXV That´s true but I like many hard rock/heavy metal bands better than "AC/DC" it´s all about taste and not following the crowd .-)

  62. f.... ....

    @MeteoraXV Well "AC/DC" have been making the same album for decades dude .-)

  63. f.... ....

    @MeteoraXV Give it a rest with "AC/DC" dude .-)

  64. Q.... ....

    Boys are gonna rock, gonna rock, and never gonna stop

  65. E.... V....

    This Album Is a Heavy Metal Man !!!!!!

  66. 0.... ....

    @vfgjhj KISS has so many great songs that have never been played live. They need to put together a set list of songs that have never been played live. I think the fans are wanting that. We all love "duece" but its time to give some of those songs a rest......

  67. A.... ....

    Classic --{-------

  68. M.... ....

    Very, very GOOD TUNE!!!

  69. C.... ....

    damn underrated man O_O

  70. n.... ....

    So they don't play it live? That's a shame. This is the only Gene song from the 80s that I don't positively hate. In fact I loved this one from day 1 and still do.

  71. l.... ....

    they need to play this song live

    l.... ....

    Probably won't ever happen due to all the animosity they've got towards Vinnie Vincent. A shame, because this might be my all-time favorite KISS song.

  72. G.... ....

    extremely underrated song in my book, this is an anthem as far as I'm concerned.
