Stryper's Christian Heavy metal

Perhaps the only Christian metal band I liked. This was from Orange County, California, USA. Formed in 1983. To Hell with the Devil was the first and the last album I heard. I did not pursue the band after that. The album was really good.

My latest hit is "Addicted" by alternative rockers Saving Abel.

Addicted Lyrics by Saving Abel
I'm so addicted
All the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breath you take
It’s not like anything
When you're loving me

Oh girl lets take it slow
So as for you well you know where to go
I want to take my love and hate you till the end
It’s not like you to turn away
From all the bullshit I cant take
It’s not like me to walk away

I'm so addicted too all the things
You do when you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breathe you take
It’s not like anything
When you're loving me Yeeahh

I know it was getting rough
All the times we spend
When we try to make
This love something better than
Just making love again
It’s not like you to turn away
All the bullshit I can’t take
Just when I think I can walk away
I'm so addicted to all the things
You do when you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breathe
It’s not like anything
I'm so addicted to the things you do
When you're going down on me
All the sounds you make with every breath you take
It’s not like anything when you're loving me

YeahhhWhen you're loving me
I can not make it through
All the things you do
There’s just got to be more than you and me
I'm so addicted too all the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make with every breath you take
It’s not like anythingIt’s not like anything
I'm so addicted too
All the things you do
When you're going down
All the sounds you make with every breath
You take it’s not like anything
I'm so addicted to you
Addicted to you
