Kingdom Of Rock

"Kingdom Of Rock" is a song by Giancarlo Pasquini under his alias Dave Rodgers. It is an English-language self-cover of the 1998 single "Be Yourself!" by the Japanese boy band V6, which was originally composed by Rodgers. Rodgers' self-cover of the song made its first album appearance on "Super Eurobeat Vol. 89" on June 24, 1998. It was later released as the B-side on a 12-inch single by A-Beat-C in Italy on December 11, 1998, along with Rodgers' other song, "Go To The Top", which served as the A-side. Finally it was released as a digital single on April 15th 2022.

The song was later covered by Pasquini in 2020 under the same alias.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Kingdom Of Rock!
Kingdom Of Rock!
Baby!

[Verse 1]
Let me take you away
I wanna be your man
Don't you say nothing, babe
I'm coming from the sky, so far away from here
I want to tell you, babe

[Pre-Chorus]
King of your love, I wanna be for you my girl now
'Cause I know this time
I'll take you high
You better follow me up to the sky

[Chorus - Repeat Twice]
Welcome to the music, and Kingdom Of Rock!
I'll take you away babe
Welcome to the pleasure, and Kingdom Of Rock!
Do you want to be mine?

[Verse 2]
Can I call out your name?
Do you wanna be my Queen?
All that I need is you
I'm coming from the night, so far away from here
I want to tell you, babe
