3rd Strike was a nu metal group, started by Jim Korthe (lead singer), Todd Deguchi (guitar), Erik Carlsson (guitar), PJ McMullan (drums) and Gabe Hammersmith (bass). Their lyrics were primarily based upon the former lives of the group's members. In May, 2002, they released their debut and only album, Lost Angel. They toured with Ozzfest and Warped Tour to promote their album, but broke up shortly after. Their song "Into Hell Again" was featured on the Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life soundtrack.
Jim Korthe, lead singer for rap-rockers 3rd Strike, grew up in San Pedro, California. Along with his friend, guitarist Todd Deguchi, the two put together a makeshift lineup for 3rd Strike, but between several unsuccessful tours and Korthe's personal problems the band disbanded during the 1990s. In 1996 Korthe and Deguchi released one album under the moniker Dimestore Hoods, consisting of vocalist Jim Korthe, guitarists Todd Deguchi and Tom McNerney, bassist Joe Puccio and drummer Mike Russo.
You convinced youself you had nothing
nothing left to give
in this world filled with pain
you memore remains
i wish i could have said something
to meka you change your mind
but it's done
it's too late
know everything is wrong
know everything is wrong
now that lisa's gone
i remember when we used to be friends
those high school days are a haze
now i'm amazed
how the years slipped away
memories faded but you were always a queen to me
it's so sad to see this loss is a tragedy
no lie playing on my sanity
now i shed those tears for your family
and everyone who knew you loved you
what went wrong too young to pass on
i cant believe
i cant believe that you achieved to relieve yourself
a broken girl in a mixed up world walked out the door
i hope you found what you were looking for
[chorus]
turn another page
i guess that life goes on
take it day by day
it sometimes feels so wrong
turn another page
i guess that life goes on
take it day by day
[chorus]
