Probably a Crush 40 song, [_Knight of the Wind_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfpUBfF8C3I) is looking pretty good, especially because of the second verse:

> I know (I know)  
> I will bring you pain and fear

> On the ground, to the sky

> In a flash, I’m gone  
> Holding your crown high

Fluke’s “Absurd” wouldn’t be a bad entrance song.

So long as you didn’t mind people comparing you to a Volkswagen.

[Queen - “I Want It All”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfLD-7bCtME)

And my fans would wear shirts that say “Give Me What I Know Is Mine” and “Move Outta My Way”.
