History
Early years and Valley of the Damned (1999–2003)
DragonForce were founded in 1999 by guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, under the name of DragonHeart. Totman and Li had both experienced being in a band previously, with both having come from heavy metal band Demoniac. The two later found vocalist ZP Theart through an advertisement, and soon acquired former Demoniac drummer Matej Setinc, bassist Steve Scott and keyboardist Steve Williams. Setinc left the band in December 1999 to continue his studies in Slovenia, and was replaced by Didier Almouzni. The band also parted ways with Williams and Scott in 2000. Williams later rejoined the band as they recorded their first demo later that year, but left once again in December 2000, days ahead of the band's tour with Halford and Stratovarius to promote the demo. Bassist Diccon Harper joined the band in November that year, with keyboardist Vadim Pruzhanov joining in February 2001 to complete the line-up for recording their debut studio album.

Maximum Overload
by: DragonforceLife's uncertain, a rat-race of pain
Endlessly searching for more
Hopeless and needless, held back by the chains
'Till we can't take anymore
Hold on, stay strong
Breaking out from the past life fading
No more, what for
All we got is to keep on praying
Pray for the done for, the lives in dismay
Witness the final decay
Suffering in silence for years we were blind
But, now we got something to say
Hold on, Stay strong
'Till the end a fate of dying
No more, what for
Nothing left but to keep on fighting
Pre-chorus:
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see
Chorus
So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cursed in our kingdom of fire
Legions of darkness will be on the grave
Spill their blood under the sun
Voices are calling with anger and rage
The final war now has begun
Hold on, stay strong
'Till the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for
Nothing left but to keep on fighting
Pre-chorus
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see
So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire
Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight
The flame will slowly fade away
The shadows of our lives
We'll wash away the memories
Before the last sunrise
We'll keep holding on
In the sands of changes
Standing strong against the winds
Until the end of time
(Solo)
Hold on, stay strong
'Till the end, not afraid of dying
No more, what for
Nothing left but to keep on fighting
Pre-chorus
United, incited, not misguided
We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
This day foretold now here for all to see
So free in the blue skies with time marches on
Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire
Hear our call, save us all
Standing tall tonight (x2)
