Making my time on the line
Filthy with the knowledge I'm
Planting seeds, spreading the disease
Rip away, tear up the beans
Ravaged, it's all so damaged
You're locked in
Disinter the ancient ways
Deaf to all that dare to pray
Ravaged, never as savage
And that's the
Price you pay, open the door
Find the monster, start the war
I'm bound to, bow down to
I am become Death, destroyer of worlds
A menial place in this infinite swirl
Your pitiful lives, and none more the wise
The human condition is dropping like flies
Unleashed is the beast, the worst of the least
From sheer depraved evil like some Judas Priest
Having his way, my canvas unfurled
I am become Death, destroyer of worlds
Reign, reign
The ending of yours has begun
The ending of yours has begun
Who will stand with me in victory?
Chose to trust me better still
You gave your eyes your own freewill
Invulnerable, your boil conceit
I'm leaving you stunned in defeat
Ravaged, so bloody ravaged
You take this
Brutal beating at my hands
Uncivilized my victory stands
Ravaged, never as savage
And that's the
Price you pay, open the door
Find the monster, start the war
Screaming, rapid fire genocide
Screaming, saints in Hell are running wild
Rage, the prelude had begun
Now your epitaph is sung
Pounding, monolithic fists of stone
Pounding, on the sinner to atone
Rage, the prelude had begun
Now your epitaph is sung
I am become Death, destroyer of worlds
A menial place in this infinite swirl
Your pitiful lives, and none more the wise
The human condition is dropping like flies
Unleashed is the beast, the worst of the least
From sheer depraved evil like some Judas Priest
Having his way, my canvas unfurled
I am become Death, destroyer of worlds
Reign, reign
The ending of yours has begun
The ending of yours has begun
If you look for a monster you'll find one
Catch the play now, eye to eye
Don't let chances pass you by
Always someone at your back
Biding their time for attack
Check for decoys, stay sharp edged
Double-crossers get your head
Carpet-baggers bluff and strike
Kiss of Judas, spider like
Waiting like jackals to sneak up and trick you
Wolves in sheeps clothing, slow death in consoling
Lurking in shadows, they pounce least expected
When you come to, they'll have gone right through you
Tricksters, jilters play their game
Sleight-of-handers, all the same
Masquerader in his lair
Wants to tangle in your hair
(Glenn Tipton, Rob Halford & K.K. Downing)
Hero of the night
Blood and thunder
Rushing through me
Till the dawn of light
The sky is turning red
Like a renegade
All alone I walk through fire
Till I crash and blaze
I'm living on the edge
Start a chain reaction
Sears the neon light
Stealing all the action
Always takes the fight
Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart
Master of the streets
Bullet proof and bound for glory
Cities at my feet
I'm turning on the power
Running wild and free
No-one dares to stand before me
That's my destiny
To rule the darkest hours
I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said I'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You got another thing comin'
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
I've had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Let's get one thing straight
I'll choose my fate
And it's got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and it's time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
I'm gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
No I don't care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now who's been had
The way things are going I won't get to show 'em
Go single all the time's up to me
So it's off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what it's like to be free
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
Alright, I'm gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then I'll ask for advice
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
(fade)
You said I could never find a way to ease your mind
But where I go you wind up in the dust
I tried so hard to have you reach another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Diserty can wear you down, but still I'm rollin' through
Did I see your figure in the haze?
I am driven by your thirst, to quench myself of love
The sun beats on me for the price I pay
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for, yeah
Night road leads me to a town of dust
I'm beckoned by the gloss
Of jealousy and tumble weed
They're calling out, forevermore
Worth fighting for
I'm leading in the wind
Head bowed down from what I saw
My shadow far a friend
There's some things are worth fighting for
So I'm moving on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for, yeah
A butter sun I kick go electric ecstasy
Deliver us all of us gave us sense your feel
Is it hoty to the Venus I give us such a day
Let's the summer rain in December following this
White heat red hot burn deep wise this burn
Through the song the wind is strong so reaching tragedy
And over joy forever more cause since it's a big to ease
Keep all to stay of glory the power at the hell
So we avoid the belt at nothing or mighty fine of
Turn out, turn out, turn out too wise will stay will
show we are
You would say to take your man forever and ever amen
The best figh give yourself I guess we need of help
Straight to life twenty fine seven command yourself
Sensitive dedication you never did a less
Fromthis a soul at addition but knowing it ending
Got no silver in my pockets
Got no pillow for my head
And the winter it gets stronger
Got to ease my aching head
In the morning when I wake up
Get this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I'll die young
Or I'll go out of my mind
I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
It still sends my senses reeling
Knowing winter's come to town
Now, winter wind fades from my face
My heart will no longer race
Sun smiling down from the sky
Melts away ice from my eye
Warmth, eases back to my soul
Bitterness shrugs then it goes...
Look around
They're moving in
Hold your ground
When they begin
We can do it
We can do it and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

You won¹t hear me, But you¹ll feel me
Without warning, something¹s
dawning, listen.
Then within your senses, You¹ll know
you¹re defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run
for cover
You can¹t retreat, I spy like no other
Then we race together. We can
ride forever
Wrapped in horse-power, driving
into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me.
I¹m your turbo lover. Tell me there¹s
no other
I¹m your turbo lover. Better run
for cover.
We hold each other closer, as we shift
to overdrive
And everything goes rushing by, with
every nerve alive
We move so fast it seems as tough
we¹ve taken to the sky
Love machines in harmony, we hear
the engines cry.
On and on we¹re charging to the place
so many seek
In perfect synchronicity of which so
many speak
We feel so close to heaven in this
roaring heavy load
And then in sheer abandonment, we
You mesmerize slowly
Till I can't believe my eyes
Ecstasy controls me
What you give just serves me right
Without warning you're here
Like magic you appear
I taste the fear
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance
A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Arousing me now with a sense of desire
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire
A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
You're possessing me
You've got it, I want it. My little troubleshooter
I need it, you feed it. My hunger drives me to ya
You bring me round with your velvet hands
You're gettin' new life to me
You put me back to promised land
Just where you know I should be
You can take me
You can shake me
You can break me down
You're givin' I'm gettin'. I'm gettin' satisfaction
You're makin' I'm takin'. I want some heavy action
You're bendin' and I'm mendin'
Gettin' back together
You really got what it takes
To make a bad man better
You can take me
You can shake me
[Instrumental]
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks
And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad
Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
Written by GLENN TIPTON & CHRIS TSANGARIDES
Holy Father drink the firewater
Preaching peace as you go to war
Politicians making brave decisions
Always got self interest at heart
We are to you just a drop in the ocean
Maybe that's true but it's only a notion
You integrate with friendly intrusion
We won't get fooled we have come to conclusion
chorus
Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me
We're confused but still we choose to disagree
Subterfuge consumes us but defiantly
We refuse to bow down to conformity
Evil mothers hiding under covers
Always near but just out of sight
Hey big brother - watch as we recover
'Cause we'll never give up the fight
And we say no!
Give us a name and you give us the power
Watch as we gather our strength by the hour
You think we're blind and weak in decision
But we see it all from peripheral vision
chorus
Somebody wins, somebody lose
Some call it subterfuge
Somebody wins, somebody lose
They fall to subterfuge
chorus
Somebody wins, somebody lose
Some call it subterfuge
Somebody wins, somebody lose
They fall to subterfuge
Look out, here's Starbreaker
Cruisin' into town
Set his mind to stealin'
Every little heart around
Step out on the sidewalks
If you're feeling game
He comes but once a lifetime
Never seen again
Starbreaker
Glides in from the sky
Starbreaker
Takes you up so high
Paradise is waiting
For the chosen few
Let's hope maybe this time
He picks me and you
Star voyage to a new world
Light-year miles away
Cross your fingers, here he is,
Take us now this day
Starbreaker
Glides in from the sky
Starbreaker
Takes you up so high
Starbreaker, take my hand
Starbreaker, understand
Starbreaker, you're the one
Starbreaker, lead us on, and on
Look out, here's Starbreaker
Cruisin' into town
Set his mind to stealin'
Every little heart around
Step out on the sidewalks
If you're feeling game
He comes but once a lifetime
Never ever seen again
Starbreaker
Glides in from the sky
Starbreaker
Takes you up so high
Wild eyed and tight fisted, I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation pole axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was King
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class King
Transfixed at deliverance, is this all there is
Faithless continuum into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy and seducer deceits
Long ago when man was King
His heart was clean, now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class King
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world
But by doing so smashed all his hopes and Utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation pole axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was King
His heart was clean, now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class King
What have you achieved now you're old
Did you fulfill ambition, do as you were told
Or are you still doing the same this year
Should I give sorrow, or turn 'round and sneer
I know that the prospects weren't all that good
But they improved, and I'd have thought that you could
Have strived for that something we all have deep inside
Not let it vanish, along with your pride
Now with the aid of your new walking stick
You hobble along through society thick
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
You keep to the gutter in case you fall
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
Well you can look to the left or look to the right
But you will live in danger tonight
When the enemy comes and he'll never be heard
He'll blow your mind and not say a word
Blinding lights, flashing colors
Sleepless nights
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
The power-mad freaks are ruling the earth
Will show how little they think you're worth
With animal lust they'll devour your life
Slice your word to bits like a knife
One last day, burning hell fire
You're blown away
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Know what it's like
To be taken for granted
There goes your life
It's so underhanded
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Heads are gonna roll
Heads are gonna roll
Who gives you the right to come here and tell me
I have to replace place my home
You would it a jungle to me it's a kingdom
My people are free and roam
Complain the stars we are happy and this will go
Now we won't leave don't disturb
But you rob in the forest work out and to fill amber
Fill from your searching from home
Savage who is savage bring you sorrow save your train
Savage you are savage but regret and take the pain
Voice and my tribe was silver light progress
But rising our world wore deceive
Your present nobody but sadness and suffering
Thing in the Chopali will peace
Why don't we done deserve of change just
Explain to cos pleasure as you can
But you can, but you can, you can see it in your eyes
Are spoke to certain mild and man
Who is savage mighty man...
I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild
Dead or alive there's nothing
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
Cause what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild
No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say
I taste the life that pleases me
And raise a storm for all the world to see
I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebel but I walk tall
And I demand respect
I move amongst the nightlife
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild
I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get outta my way
I'm running wild
I'm running wild
You better believe it
Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light.
Glowin' god of Mars
Body burning bright.
Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind.
Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power.
Thunderbolt from hell
Shattering aloud.
Screamin' demons yell
Get a grip on the action, moving heaven and earth
Gotta get a reaction, push for all that you're worth
No denying we're going against the grain
So defiant they'll never put us down
Rock Hard Ride Free all day, all night
Rock Hard Ride Free all your life
Tough as steel stop at nothing
Look at fate in the face
Don't take no for an answer
Grab the lead in the race
Rock hard with a purpose
Got a mind that won't bend
Die hard resolution
Man eatin momma, steam driven hammer
Sorts the men out from the boys
Takes no messin', all in wrestlin'
Is one of her pride and joys
She a classy, flashy lassy
Imitation sapphire shine
Two faced liar, full of fire
But I know the flame is mine
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her
If you think you can
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her you can
She's a grip and choke ya
Heavy smoker
Wrong side of the law
Midnight shady
Good time lady
Heavy, ready show you what for
Barroom fighter
Ten pint a nighter
Definite ninety-nine
Diamond cluster
Knuckle duster
Feline on the borderline
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her
If you think you can
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
When the day is over
I like to ease my mind
By jucin' up my system
With the beat of a heavy kind
I smack a bottle open
I crank the hi-fi high
I'm in-a seventh heaven
Ooh, I can touch the sky
I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
It's got the movin' to me
Just that I can't explain
It's like a brilliant sunshine
After standing in the pouring rain
My skin begins to tingle
Ooh, right on down my back
It's really got me fevered
Pounding my senses flat
I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
Rock rock rock forever, I love it
Rock rock rock forever, my fever
Rock rock rock forever, always gonna
Rock rock rock forever
I can't stop talkin' about
Rock
Now get it right, boys
So when you get those blue days
Here's just what to do
Switch into this lifeline
And feel it rushing through
Before you know it, blue days
Are better left behind
By juicin' up your system
With this beat of a heavy kind
I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my
Rock forever Rock forever
[Instrumental]
Where do we go from here
There must be something near
Changing you, changing me forever
Places changes, faces change
Life is so very strange
Changing time, changing rhyme together
There's no where else to go
This could be our last show
Changing dreams, changing schemes never
We are never satisfied
Love is gone, along with fun
Now we're reaching for the gun
Changing cast, changing fast, no more tether
We are never satisfied
Written by GLENN TIPTON & K.K. DOWNING
I am your darkest hour
I am your fall from power
I am the voice you dread and I'm
Screaming out inside your head
I am the final count
I am your demons out
I am the worst demise
I'm gonna cut your words down to size
What is this?
I hear you shout
Face to face
I'm gonna take you out
chorus
One on One
Bring it on
One on One
Take me on
I am the awful truth
I am the fearless youth
I am the cross to bear
And the one who dares to return your stare
I am the fist of God
I am the underdog
I'll always stand my ground
While the others scatter all around
Against all odds
Despite it all
I'm at my best when I'm against the wall
chorus
I am the bloodstained past at last
That's finally caught up with you like
The glint of steel from out of the dark the last
Thing you will feel - I'm outgunned, I'm out
Run, I'm undead and then I found the skin
You shed - I am the questions asked
That send shivers down your back
So I am holding out
And I'm much stronger now
So take me on
chorus
I am the darkest night
I am the vipers strike
I'll see you all consumed
As you start to lick
Your mortal wounds
Like the condemned man
Who just won't die
I'll show no remorse
I'll never walk away
chorus
(Glenn Tipton, Rob Halford & K.K. Downing)
Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins
Let me feel the spirits soar
Destroy the enemy
Striking at the evil core
For all the world to see
This day will last forever
Deep in the hearts of men
Courage and victory
Remember, remember
One Shot At Glory
In the crossfire overhead
Fate stands before me
Words have all been said
One Shot At Glory
Driving hard and seeing red
Destiny calls me
One night of fire
One Shot At Glory
Fighting on with dignity
In life and death we deal
The power and the majesty
Amidst the blood and steel
I still hear the battle cry
The call goes on and on
I still see the banners fly
I'm rollin' and riddin' away
Cause I'm a reelin' and feelin' O.K.
Forget about tomorrow
Go for it today
Cause I'm on the run
I'm rockin' and sellin' my soul
Cause I'm livin' for rock and for roll
I'm shakin' all day and all night
Where would you be without music
You would be nowhere at all
We wouldn't be here doing this now
If you weren't having a ball
One for the road, sharing our load, show us the way
Can you imagine the silence
Not even the pink or white noise
Well thankfully we've got the license
To have us some fun with the boys
One for the road, sharing our load, show us the way
The melody line's fascinating
The rhythm is something divine
It sends our adrenaline racing
To see you all moving so fine
One for the road, sharing our load, show us the way
One for the road...

Recruit all of you
Do not live in sin
Or taste the fear again

Time to rock the place

Licensed to kill
On my 650 Bonneville
"Hellfire" we yell
Fuelled and indestructible
Get it down
to take the crown
Neon daze
Renegades
No fear just hate
Drives us to the ultimate
Cut loose extremes
On our maniac machines
Take me down
Or hit the ground
Neon nights
At the speed of light
So you motherfuckers want to race
You've all got loser tattooed on your face

Machine Man's running - you wanna try
Machine Man's coming - you're gonna die
Ignite the engines
You can hear it scream
You're gonna eat your words
That challenged this machine
The beast is revved up
The flag is down
The tyres screech
And lay a smoke screen all around
Through the limits
As they rocket past
It's a blood bath
There's no second place
Repeat chorus
Machine Man - Machine Man's coming
Machine Man - Machine Man's coming
Ice nerves of steel
As I notch another kill
You lose - I win
I get to ride again
Get it down
Hit the ground
Neon nights
Speed of light
Feel no mercy as I cross the line
Watch the suckers self destruct behind
Machine Man's running
You wanna try
Machine Man's coming
You're gonna die
Repeat
Machine Man - Machine Man's coming
Machine Man - Machine Man's coming
Call for the priest, I'm dying...
Well, the pressure's too much, you know I peaked last night
I gotta get some a quick release
City is standing on my shoulders
My body's going piece by piece
Yeah!
Yes I know what I want and I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest that I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
No!
When your back's to the wall come along one and all
We shall fight all the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose let the bigoted lose
For our triumph's the means to their end
With you by my side I shall ride every storm
Let the cynics drop dead in their critical head
They're wrist merchants as we all can see
Bunch of deaf ears with their columnized fears
What a shame, what a shame, oh dear me!
We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From the techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its' own
Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was speading like a disease
Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Caring for our lives
Reaped by robots scythes
Metal Gods, Metal Gods
Metal Gods, metal Gods
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand
Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath
Written by GLENN TIPTON & K.K. DOWNING
I always used to be afraid
That I was going to lose my way
I never used to walk in line but stray
I never thought I'd see it through
That I could deal with losing you
But suddenly I see the light of day
Leading me in
rom out of the night
Staying on course - I'm still alive
I had to confess I never thought I would ever survive
chorus
I was lost and found
I had run aground
I was lost but now I'm found
Focused on my altered state
I would just disorientate
Suffering alone amongst the crowd
Drifting on a sea of doubt
And no-one ever heard me shout
That I was lost and couldn't find my way
No-one at hand
Having no plan
I stumbled through a barren land
After so long
Of going wrong
I found the road
chorus
I was lost and found
I had hit the ground
I was lost but now I found
That I don't need no-one
To survive
You've got to believe alone
You'll rise
Starting to run
Shedding the load
Now I can see I'm close to home
After so long
Of going wrong
I found the road
chorus
Been awake all night, can¹t get no sleep
I need a steel blue heart walkin¹ down the street
With your razor nails, and your painted smile
You¹re gonna get richer, I gotta get wild
Any time you want to
Any way you need
Get your love for money there, satisfaction guaranteed
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
I¹m behind the wheel, throttle open wide
The gas tanks full do you want to ride
Drivin¹ in the fast lane at night
I can¹t keep my eyes off your red tail light
You know where we¹re goin¹
I know where where are
Set the rear view mirror for
the backseat or the car
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
In your leather and chrome you¹re all the rage
All you want to do is get backstage
You heard all the stories, are they true
The rock ¹n¹ roll circus is calling you
When you get there baby
You¹ll be hypnotised
Never seen nothin¹ like it no,
You won¹t believe your eyes
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
Everybody get in
When you feel safe
When you feel warm
That's when I rise
That's when I crawl
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bring the kiss
Evils abound
In the dead of night love bites
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
Softly you stir
Gently you moan
Lust's in the air
Wake as I groan
In the dead of night love bites
Love bites you
Invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you
Delights you
It drains you to white
Love bites
You knew at first sight
You'd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
There'd be no turning back
So come in my arms
I strike any hour
I will return
To trap and devour
Written by GLENN TIPTON
Your innocence all but fades
When we peel the veneer away
It's all an act which you stage
With your two faced barricades
Rage consumes
You every night
Caged inside you
Trying to get out
Schizophrenic basic needs
Fools me into complacency
But now I see through your facade
Behind the mask a monster snarls
Hatred burning
In your chest
Dazed but learning
In your quest
chorus
Oh it's killing me your unpredictability
Oh all the time
You hide behind
Your Jekyll and Hyde
Now I realise
There's a dark side
Disguised
Always changing
Then love hating
Baiting me
Your innocence all but fades
When we peel the veneer away
It's all an act which you stage
With your two faced barricades
Rage consumes you every night
Caged inside you trying to get out
chorus
Deadly as the viper peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like to time bomb
The fuse is running short
On the verge of snapping if it's caught
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode Jawbreaker
Crouching in the coner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Grand canyons of space and time universal
My mind is subjected to all
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
Hooks to my brain are well in
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
I know what I am, I'm Berlin
Through cracked, blackened memories of unit dispersal
I face the impregnable wall
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
Hooks to my brain are well in
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
I know what I am, I'm Berlin
Exploding, reloading, this quest never ending
Until I give out my last breath
I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling
Hooks to my brain are well in
I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling
I know what I am, I'm Berlin
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods amongst the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where loved a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
That never ever learned to read and write so well
But he could play a guitar just like ringing bell
Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old engineer sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by would stop and say
"Oh my but how that little country boy could play"
Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music till sun goes down
Maybe some day you name will be in lights,
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode
I came across a smoking field, pulsating afterglow
I saw a searing flash of light erupt and skyward go
I staggered back in dazed surprise
What was it I had seen?
And as I stood there mesmerised I heard my spirit scream
Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
This is the first of more to come in carefully planned attacks
If it is so we must prepare defences to fight back
The call is out throughout the world
United we must stand
To build a line, strategic force, they will not take a man
Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
When they come to take control every man must play his role
They won't take our world away when the children we leave
Will have to believe in today
We warn you now you things out there
Whatever you may send
We won't give in without a fight, a fight until the end
With vigilance by day and night our scanners trace the sky
A shield is sealed upon this earth, a shield you won't get by
Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
Written by GLENN TIPTON
I am love, I am hate
I'm an atheist with faith
Went my anger with a smile
I'm polite or obscene
Either whisper or I scream
I'm not quite what I seem
I'm somewhere in between
I am young in my old age
I am calm or in a rage
I'm your friend or enemy
A pacifist or at war
I am rich but I am poor
I'm all extremes
I'm nowhere in between
Wide awake
Or in a dream
Nowhere in between
Like the pulse of a machine
I'm driven to extremes
I feel the turmoil boil in me
I'm neither healthy nor diseased
I am all extremes
But I'm still in between
Say right or say wrong
Outcast yet I belong
I'm high or I'm dry
Say I am weak yet I am strong
In Between
In Between
I am my alter ego
I am subconsciously
In depth but also shallow
Or somewhere in between
Oh I know I am
Always first in line or last
I swim with sharks or drown with rats
I'll defend as I attack
My world and yours are not the same
I am in a different lane
I am not where I seem
But I'm somewhere in between
I seek revenge
As I forgive
I die to live - ah
Not afraid but scared to death
I don't fit in
In Between - all extremes
When the power chords come crashing down
go tearing through my sense
It¹s for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimension
It stimulates, regenerates
It¹s therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
and blasts us through the ceiling
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Ten thousands lights come
blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision
An armour plated raging beast
That¹s born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
I know you like it hot
Love to writhe and sweat
You think that this feels good
You ain’t felt nothin’ yet
Red-hot licks in the palm of my hand
Feel your body quake
As we hit the promised land
I’m heavy duty
We’ll rise inside ya till the power
splits your head
We’re gonna rock ya till your metal
hunger’s fed
Let’s all join forces
Rule with iron hand
And prove to all the world
Metal rules the land
We’re heavy duty
So come on let’s tell the world
I heard a human voice who sang like no one else
I heard a proud lady singing loud
Lived her life as she liked, didn't give a damn
But soon she found she was underground and wasted
I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage
Her body shook oh, she did her stuff
She screamed and quake, give and take, maybe took too much
If you take the smooth you gotta take the rough
Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid
I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd
I felt the sound shower 'round
And he would take you with him where no music's been before
As you merged the power surge together
His music knew no limits if you were in it's wake
You had no choice, no, but hear its voice
And you would listen hypnotised, and in a dream
But once so strong survive or become weak
Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid
If you gaze across timeless years you'll find them always there
And many gods will join the list compiled with dying care
Hungry mouths are waiting to bite the hand that feeds
And so the living dead carry on immortal deeds
I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame
But fast car user lose
That legend's born from death and that is such a shame
'cos every year new ones appear
Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid.
Hellrider (6:23)(Tipton/Halford/Downing)
Here they come
These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed
Speed of Death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vapourizing glares
Raised to man oppressed
Sign of persecution
Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight
All incensed
To overthrow
Strong defence
With armaments they grow
By this quest
Their fates renowned
Put to rest
Abominations grow
Time to ram it down
Judgement for the tyrant
Hellrider
Roars throug the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight
Fight undying and eternal
Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honour bound your strength repleted
To no end they're undefeated
Hellrider Hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider Hellrider
You brought them through their despair
Hellrider Hellrider
Your tempered steel relinquished
Hellrider Hellrider
You slaught them all extinguished
Wrath of doom
In killing fields
They consume
Their valiants never yield
Triumph to the gods
Vanquished of enslavers
Hellrider
Breaking their will
Hellrider
In for the kill
Hellrider Hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider Hellrider
You brought them through it all
Hellrider
Wrapped tight around me
Like a second flesh hot skin
Cling to my body
As the ecstasy begins
Your wild vibrations
Got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip
Eat me alive
Sounds like an animal
Panting to the beat
Groan in the pleasure zone
Gasping from the heat
Gut-wrenching frenzy
That deranges every joint
I'm gonna force you at gun point
To eat me alive
Bound to deliver as
You give and I collect
Squealing impassioned as
The rod of steel injects
Lunge to the maximum
Spread-eagled to the wall
You're well equipped to take it all
Written by GLENN TIPTON & K.K. DOWNING
You're looking at me why
Sort of like a leper vibe
Okay for your kind
But it's too good for me
And a hey I know I'm
Never gonna qualify
For all the bullshit
Of your social degrees
Oh look down your noses at me
Hating my identity
Oh but that don't mean a damn thing you see
'Cause down here in hell everybody loves me
Hey I know I'm anti-social
'Cause you act like I'm infected
With some atrocity
And though I know I'm
Every bit the same inside
My face don't fit
It's like I've got some disease
Oh you keep your face turned away
To strip me of identity
Oh still got my fortune and fame
'Cause down here in Hell everyone knows my name
chorus
Hell is home to me
Might as well be
I like it here and no-one else invited me
Hell is home to me
It has to be ('cause Jesus Christ)
Nobody else invited me
Now I belong
I found my home
'Cause even though I know things won't
Get any better, they can certainly never get much worse
chorus
Say my whole life I've always been disliked
Ignored unless you're spitting insults at me
And I don't know why you felt so justified
In all the degradation that you dished on me
Oh! Now my status has changed
And you've got yourself to blame
Oh! I'll grab all the attention I crave
Now I'm running Hell and Heaven won't be the same
chorus
Whipcrack, stings the sky
Don¹t mess with me I¹m danger
The meanest one alive
Earthquake, breaks the Richter scale
The more that you resist
The more the pain you¹ll feel
I¹m blazing on to glory
There¹s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I¹ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
Untouched, cold as ice
I¹ll turn your blood to water
Strangle in my vice
Shock waves, bones to dust
You¹re messin¹ with a mine field,
so expect the worst
I¹m blazing on to glory
There¹s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I¹ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
As I destroy, last thing you¹ll hear me cry, is victory, is
victory
I¹m blazing on to glory
There¹s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I¹ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
Fast and furious we ride the universe
To carve a road for us that slices every
curve in sight
We accelerate, no time to hesitate
This load will detonate whoever would
Contend its right
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
freewheel burning
On we catapult, we're thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault, go headlong
into any date
We don't accept defeat, we never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat obliterations
everywhere
Look before you leap has never been
the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top and never give in never
stops the
Way to be
Hold on to the lead with all your will and
concede
Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time
Tend to burn the arrow
Out of the line
Been inclined to wander
Off the beaten track
That's where there's thunder
And the wind shouts back
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat
Got no use for routine
I shiver at the thought
Open skies are my scene
That's why I won't get caught
Refuse to bite the mantrap
Be led to set the snare
I love to have my sight
Capped everywhere
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat
(solo Glenn)
I've held my licence
It came with birth,
For self reliance on this earth
You take the bullet
On which my name
Was etched upon in your game
Day of independence
Stamped us like a brand
Round the necks of millions
To the land
As the mighty eagle
I need room to breathe
Witness from the treadmill
I take my leave
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Looking for meat

They are dying on the dance floor
They are lying in debris
They are fading with exhaustion
From the mortal injuries
They are hungry and need feeding
They've resigned themselves to fate
They are desperate men
Death's written on their face
When your will to live
Is all but gone
And you're left alone
But you need someone - feed on me
Feed on me
They're outgunned and they're outnumbered
But they'll never turn to run
And the 'in name of freedom's'
Written with their blood
Some would call them mercenary
But they always knew the pain
Inevitably far outweighs the gain
Feed on me
Feed on me if you need to breath
Feed on me
When your hunger strikes you down again
And you feel your inner strength has drained - Feed on me
Feed on me
Feed on me - I got what you need
Feed on me
Feed on me - don't accept defeat
They aredying on the dance floor
They are lying in debris
They are fading with exhaustion
From the mortal injuries
Some would call them mercenary
But they always knew the pain
Enevitably far outweighs the gain
When your will to live has almost gone
And you're left alone and you need someone
Feed on me
Feed on me
Feed on me
Feed on me - I got what you need
Feed on me
Feed on me - don't accept defeat
And so now it comes to pass
by the even tide of mass
see them gather yet alas
they remain still as stained class
for they know only too well
that the story they will tell
conjures up an ageless spell
guarded by the sentinel
so it goes forever more
ever steady to the core
that the sign they came for
waves majestic from the floor
The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
Every now and then he'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again
With trembling hands, he wipes a tear
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly now lets go
But spare a thought as you pass him by
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday
A lonely grave, and soon forgot
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
For anyone who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
And you...and you...and you...
Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze
Saw a figure floating 'neath the willow tree
Asked us if we were happy we said we didn't know
Took us by the hands and up we go
We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds
He could control our sense of time
We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried
Everyone was in peace of mind
We felt the sensations drift inside our frames
Finding complete contentment there
And all the tensions that hurt us in the past
Just seemed to vanish in thin air
He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
That is vibrating constantly
And if we could grip and hold on to the note
We would see our minds were free…oh they're free
We are lost above
Floating way up high
If you think you can find a way
Come on, come on now what you say
Somebody say you leave today
What's this thing you're doin' to me
What's this fool you're tryin' to be
You're talkin' nothin' but a load of guff
You're tryin' to put somethin' in my lap, lap
Don't go. Please don't leave me
Don't go in the mornin'
Don't go. Please don't deceive me
Don't take it away
I do, I do anything for you
You make my stormy clouds blue
Inside out, I'm upside down
Back to front I'm all around
Don't cha leave me by myself
I don't like it
Don't go. Please don't leave me
Don't go in the mornin'
Don't go. Please don't deceive me

I was crosswired underground
Nothing seemed to fit
I was fried and memory bound
Then it came to me
Devil Digger
Unforgiver
I was on a different plane
He said come to meLaid his hands upon my brow
That's the last of me
Devil Digger
Unbeliever
Don't be sorry
It's no disgrace
But never worry (unless)
You have no faith
See him coming
He has no face
You must stop running
You must have faith
Death's not final so we're told
Words are so profound
Who the hell wants to get old
But ask in the final hours
Devil Digger - unbeliever
Devil Digger - unforgiver
See him coming
He has no face
You must stop running
You must have faith
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
We turn and face each other
My fingers pull your hair
You wince and jerk my wrist off
I bite my lip and stare
Your stance at once defiant
I'm rigid to your pose
You clench your teeth in anger
My loving swells and grows
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide
You're dragged into my vision
Trapped, serving to my needs
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds
You slide your nails down in me
I raise my structure high
You pout, I snarl, you whimper
And wave compassion 'bye (ohhh)
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide
A, give me evil
Gonna take you, wanna get through
Gonna make you do what I want
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
I'll show you evil you can't hide
You're dragged into my vision
Trapped, serving to my needs
Maybe imagination
Is where my dark side feeds
C'mon, evil. Yeah! You give me evil, evil fantasies
C'mon! You evil. Yeah! Gimme, gimme, gimme fantasies
I want it, you got it, those evil fantasies
Oh, you need it! I'm gonna give it!
Give it, give it, give it fantasy-ohhh!
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring Diamonds and Rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring Diamonds and Rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Your head
You will lose it
Severed
When executed
You always thought
You'd never get caught
Decapitate
Sealing your fate
Rebels
Futile efforts
Are quelled
With effective measures
The sentence is read
Word that you dread
Decapitate
Walk through hell's gate
You've lost your head sir
Well you will tomorrow - sleep well
This court's
Best deterrent
To set
New precendents
The verdict of course
Couldn't be worse
Decapitate
Example be made
Decapitate
FORGED IN THE BLACK COUNTRY
UNDER BLOOD RED SKIES
WE ALL HAD OUR DREAM TO REALISE
DRIVING IN THAT TRANSIT
DOWN TO HOLY JOE'S
USED TO LOSE OUR HEAD
WHILE METAL FLOWED
NOTHING HELD US BACK OR DARED TO TRY
SOMETHING IN OUR BLOOD
WON'T LET US DIE
WE BUILT OUR WORLD OF METAL
WATCHED IT GROW
FUELLED THE FURY SOLID TO THE BONE
GOTTA DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
â'CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S REAL
DONE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
FROM A HEART MADE OF STEEL
ROLLIN' DOWN THE M-WAY
TOOK IT TO THE SMOKE
BANGIN' HEADS THERE
â'TIL WE ALL WENT BROKE
WHEN WE DON THE LEATHER, AND THE WHIPS AND CHAINS
NOTHING MATTERS MORE
WE CAN'T BE TAMED
FIGHTING THROUGH THE DIN AND ACCOLADES
TURN THE PHASE AROUND WITH RAZOR BLADES
WATCHED THE MOVEMENT GROW
INTO ONE VOICE
TOOK ON ALL THE WORLD
IT HAD NO CHOICE
GOTTA DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
â'CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S REAL
DONE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
FROM A HEART MADE OF STEEL
WE HIT AT NIGHT
YOU'RE IN OUR SIGHT
THEN WE CAN FEEL
WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR
UPON THIS STAGE
WE LET IT RAGE
AND FOR A TIME WE LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND
TO BE WITH OUR OWN KIND
GOTTA DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
â'CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S REAL
DONE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
FROM A HEART MADE OF STEEL

We are defenders of the faith
Written by GLENN TIPTON & SCOTT TRAVIS
He lies in wait
For one mistake
Morphing on your screen
Those who dare
Or the unaware
Download him for a scream
Don't access the site
Or beware his megabyte
No virus scan
Detects the man
Or the deadly tasks he plans
Drooling lips
His circuits lit
He crouches for attack
Spider like on the web
Alive and well
But you are dead
Iniquitous in every way
Now he's come out to play
Cyberface
Iron will
Programmed to corrupt and kill
Cyberface
No escape
He is interfaced to Hell
chorus
Once he's summoned and installed cyberface
He'll infest your motherboard cyberface
Now he's got a grip
He will strip away your flesh
Alive yet dead
A fiend obsessed
He'll crash your system down
Once in place
Hell simulate
Your life - it's worthless now
God forsaken
Grotesque mind
An entity
That's come alive
Boot your screen
And suddenly
Approaching fast and mean
repeat chorus
Written by GLENN TIPTON & K.K. DOWNING
So many years that we were one
So many things we've done
The memories alive
But most of me has died
As I struggle with events
I'm offered words of strength
They do not comprehend
The passion we possessed
People tell me what to do
Tell me how I should get through
But they haven't got a clue
No-one else comes close to you
I see your eyes before they closed
They looked right inside my soul
And they asked me not to grieve
I tried but still I bleed
I wake up, I break up
I try hard to shake off
The desolation as it grows
As nothing else comes close
And as I stand here by the grave
And the wind calls out your name
I know that time could never heal
The emptiness I feel
People try to give me hope
Tell me how I should let go
But they'll never really know
'Cause there's nothing else comes close
People tell me what to do
Yell me how I should get through
But they haven't got a clue
No-one else comes close to you
I got home late this evening, stumbled up the stair
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the bedroom there
My woman with a man was lyin' fast asleep
I felt a rage inside me, control I couldn't keep
She was a cheater
I reached the dressing table, kicked away the door
I gripped the cold black metal, a loaded .44
By this time they're awake and they don't know what to do
I scream you cheatin' bitch here's what I think of you
You are a cheater
They both pleaded for mercy, I said no way
When you do this upon me, you have no say
I treated you so real good, and this is what you do
Oh no I've finished with you, your time is through
You are a cheater
If you need a cheater there's nobody sweeter than this one
There's no neater, come on here and meet her
Cheater, cheater, cheater, come on and meet her...
Well, the pressure's too much, you know I peaked last night
I gotta get some a quick release
City is standing on my shoulders
My body's going piece by piece
Yeah!
Yes I know what I want and I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest that I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
No!
When your back's to the wall come along one and all
We shall fight all the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose let the bigoted lose
For our triumph's the means to their end
With you by my side I shall ride every storm
Let the cynics drop dead in their critical head
They're wrist merchants as we all can see
Bunch of deaf ears with their columnized fears
What a shame, what a shame, oh dear me!
When your back's to the wall, come along one and all
We shall fight all the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose let the bigoted lose
For our triumph's the means to their end
Yes I know what I want and I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest that I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
Speak to me
Of those days I won't forget
Your worst dreams
Has just returned - to pay you back
I'm still laughing
There's not much else I can do
But one's thing's certain
I'm coming back for you
Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who you used it on
It's time to burn in hell
Say my name
I can hear you whisper
Not to blame?
You are going to blister
Scream in the night
I've been counting the days
It's so amusing
To see you again
Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who d'ya use it on
You're going to burn in hell
Why?
Time to pay the price
Kill
I will
Have my sacrifice
Plead
With fear
I am getting near
Friend
Liar
Time to eat some fire
Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who d'ya use it on
You're going to burn in hell
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
Have you got a gun
Do you remember well
Who d'ya use it on
You're going to burn in hell
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
Snarl like a dog
You'll scream like a banshee
Stuck like a hog
You're gonna love me
Burn in hell
I can hear you whisper
Burn in hell
You are going to blister
Burn in hell
Screaming like a banshee
Burn in hell
Sunrise showing every flaw
Paying for the night before
Dark eyes, scanning every vein
Exploding - cannot stand the strain
With each new mile
Standing on trial
They death defy me
Scrutinize me
And questionize my
Strong denial
Bullet bullet train
Piercing through my brain
Windows illuminating stains
Breakdown closing in again
Freefall as I close my eyes
Voices talking many lies
Changing my course
Breathing exhaust
Blurred and scorched
As we distort
By gravity
Of such G-force
Bullet bullet train
Piercing through my brain
Breakdown close my eyes
Voices talking many lies
Stained glass bursting in
Shattering my world again
Freefall but never can
Ever reach the ground again
Dark eyes scanning in
Feel my mind explode within
Wanting much more
Near to death's door
I implore you
To ignore
The screams of all
Who fall before
Bullet bullet train
Piercing through my brain
There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law
Written by GLENN TIPTON & K.K. DOWNING
Don't speak to me of morality
Justice wrong or right
You dig the dirt ignore the hurt
And spit out all your lies
Conscience free as we bleed
Hypocrisy born from greed
Don't preach to me of integrity
Or your legal highs
The judge's thrilled
He's dressed to kill
On TV every night
Subliminal - so absurd
It's criminal - yet can't be heard
Chorus
Bloodsuckers - how can they sleep at nights
Bloodsuckers - nothing but parasites
You will be on the stand today
They cannot harm you - it's okay
But they will destroy your family
And drag you through Hell and tragedy
A circus heading into town
Complete with cameras and the clowns
The first amendment shot to bits
The world is watching just for kicks
As the day drew close to hand
For all to view the faceless man
He put out the lights - it's sad
Now who's to blame for that ?!
Intimidate twist what you say
With their fine points of law
They lose the case but proficate
And then appeal some more
Subliminal - it's so absurd
It's criminal - but can't be heard
Chorus x 2
I promise to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me God!
You will be on the stand today
They cannot harm you - it's okay
They will destroy your family
And drag you through Hell and tragedy
Bloodsuckers parasites
Turn me off
Pull the plug
Leave me with some dignity
I am not
What I was
And I don't need the sympathy
Alive inside me
No one can hear me
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot
Paralysed
In my shell
Enduring every
Endless day
Immobilized
On my back
Aware of everything
They say
Extricate me
Eliminate me
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot
I can't blink my eye or cry
Or even speak
They crowd around my bed
Condescending words are said
Thinking I don't hear or know
What is going on - Hello!
Can't you suckers hear my cries
From inside I'm still alive
It's my decision to abort
Turn off the goddamn life support
Let me pass
From this world
So I fade away in peace
Comprehending
Unrelenting
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Storm warning
But there's no fear
Lies forming
The sacrament lays bare
The sinner
Will testify
They'll suffer
When sacrificed on high
The burning sermons purge their evil words
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Force rises
False rituals
Baptises
The body and the soul
Our union
Their fall from grace
Confession (confess your sins)
Will seal them to their fate
The burning sermons will survive their curse
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Transgression
They prey on grief
Our mission
To purify belief
This altar
Gives power and light
They'll falter
While we are shining bright
The burning sermons consecrate their sin
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Storm warning
But there's no fear
(Instrumental)
Angel,
Put sad wings around me now
Protect me from this world of sin
So that we can rise again
Oh angel,
We can find our way somehow
Escaping from the world we're in
To a place where we began
And I know we'll find
A better place and peace of mind
Just tell me that it's all you want
For you and me
Angel won't you set me free
Angel,
Remember how we chased the sun
Then reaching for the stars at night
As our lives had just begun
When I close my eyes
I hear your velvet wings and cry
I'm waiting here with open arms
Oh can't you see
Angel shine your light on me
Angel we'll meet once more I'll pray
When all my sins are washed away
Hold me inside your wings and stay
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
So that we can rise again
Put sad wings around me now
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep ";Don't let the morning take him";
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving
It's been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long, and now you're leaving
Oh please don't take it all away
It's been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I've waited too long, and now you're leaving
Oh please don't take it all away
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep ";Don't let the morning take him";
I move away it don't do me no good
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would.
Help me, I'm beggin' you please.
You've got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life.
Leave me be.
Take these chains off
Take 'em off of my heart
Reach out to me, as if from the grave
I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave.
It's my fault for loving you so
You were so precious, how could I know.
You turned mean overnight
Poor poor me.
I don't owe you anything
Why don't you get out of my life.
Through it all the memories cling
And I can't sleep at night.
Help me, I'm beggin' you please.
You've got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life.
No one can stop me now
I'm like a human dynamo
Live wired and chargin' out with power
This time I won't hold back, I'm rarin' to get up and go
Fuelled up and growin' by the hour
Look out, I'm blastin' through the lines alive and kickin'
Watch out, I'm young and lethal
I'm goin' from here until eternity
I'm feelin' reckless
Way outa hand, a real survivor
Reckless, comin' at gale force ten
Around me I feel the shock waves, building from the energy
A force field that no one can break through
Solid as rock no wonder I am indestructible
First placed in everything I do
Radio active I'm shootin' through the atmosphere
Takin' off, I'm headin' like a rocket through the stratosphere.
I can't stand the way you move it
You drive me crazy with that walk
You get me so excited
I tremble and I shake
When you make the moves you make
You've got the key
The key to my heart
Go ahead and use it
Drag me in, slam the door
Then I'll be yours, for evermore
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
I can't take it when you touch me
Feels so good I could explode
You've got me in a frenzy
I tremble and I quake
When you shake the things you shake
You've got the key
The key to my heart
Go ahead and use it
Drag me in, slam the door
Then I'll be yours, for evermore
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
Locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got the key
The key to my heart
Go ahead and use it
Drag me in, slam the door
Then I'll be yours, for evermore
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in, baby
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in, baby
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
You've got me locked in
Locked inside your love
Twenty-four hours of the day, you're on my trail and I can't get away
I can't shake you off. You're a wolf on the prowl
You got my scent and I can hear you howl
No where to run. No where to hide. No where to go
No where to run to. No where to hide this hurt insight
Hot for love
When the sun goes down, I can feel you heart
Till the sun comes up, when you've got me worn deadbeat
I said I'm all burned out, I'm a physical wreck
But there you go again with your hot breath on my neck.
Golden halos radiating higher
Diamond visions softly breathing fire
Sky processions we are watching you arrive
Silver crystals arching beams below
What light spirals lifting up to go
Glass formations solar angels spread their wings
Spectral gliders drifting in the air
Wheels of wonder floating everywhere
I made a spy about night at Hongkong Saturday
Oh lies the spring bird as I walk to the Universe
And see the day we guide who fool to meet the dim in dune
Up up the cause railroad to New York fire island
I can't stay joy stay in ecstasy
I'm hold up to the colour at end it come pretty
I'm said the colour spaces now give me you burden
The mirror of a woman collected now till I hold everybody
stop the feeling your boss action
I see through the earth I saw a contract
Laid set so En Judas
I had to write only God knows
Straight to the light set is alright
Sex like a Gurglar wrapped in shadow
???????????????????
Now early only priest not the caller
Through the bridge was be not a man was human right right
I came a night I am a hit matter
Oh well oh Lord
One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight said I'll never get enough.
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud.
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die.
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
If you think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another think comin'.
That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent.
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks.
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again.
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
If you think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another think comin'.
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow.
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best.
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah.
[Instrumental]
He had enough, he couldn't take anymore
He found a place in his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried, they couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him, fed him by hand
Yea, I've left the world behind, I'm safe here in my mind
I am free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit there, stare blank into space
No sign of life would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled, it seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him, goodbye and then he died
Yea, I've left the world behind, I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin, it's not fit for livin' in
Yea, I will start again it can take forever, forever, forever and ever
And ever, but I'll win
How many like him are there still
But to us, all seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands, plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost?
Yea, I've left the world behind, I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin, it's not fit for livin' in
EXCITER
(T-H)
1 Racin' past the heavens
Sailin' to the dawn
Lookin'like a comet
Slicin' to the morn
Scorchin' the horizon
Razin' thro' the land
CH.1: Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation makes the man
2 Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his grip
Starts to smoke and smoulder
Whisper up in sin
Recognition hits you
There in only an evil grin
CH.2: Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees
And repent if you please
SOLO (Glenn)
* Where is this man
Where is he gone?
Exciter falls
For where he goes
I've never seen him
But you will tase the fire
upon your turf
3 He's gonna make you step out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So let self-indulgence
Result nine-shattered eyes
Dominant complacency
Leads to the guiding light
CH.1 REPEAT
4 When he leaps amidst us
With combusted dance
Also getting ready
From his perma-lance
But to rising masses
Melting need to work
Only when it's all done
Will his tale be done.
CH.2 REPEAT, SOLO (both)
I'd spend my days alone
I used to stay at home
Lost in seclusion there.
Like I was in a cell
A captured heart as well
Surrounded by despair.
Darkness filled my soul
Losing all control.
Down on the streets below
Bright city lights would glow.
The energy would rise
And through the heat I'd gaze
Still counting empty days.
With fire in my eyes
Living through this hell
Can I break this spell.
Fever. You set my soul on fire.
Fever. You fill me with desire.
Fever. You always get it right.
Fever. All day and all night.
Then one night as I walked
I heard your body talk
I saw a shooting sta
In some magnetic trance
Our beating hearts would dance
And crash down from afar.
Oh how strange fate is
Never dreamed of this.
So destiny has brought us
Oh so close together
We were like angels in the night
e dream
At last I'll be with you forever.
And all at once it feels so right.
[Instrumental]
It started many years ago, out of the black country
The seed became the embryo, for all on earth to see
Like stealth the word spread mouth to mouth, all corners
of the land
And soon the thing began to grow, and get right out of hand
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
It grew and grew in time, into a
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
Took the sound across the seas, the people stood in awe
At last the sound had come to them
That they¹d been waiting for
And millions roared, and millions cheered,
This spectacle on stage
And everyone went crazy as it bellowed out in rage
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
I grew and grew in time, into a
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
It grew and grew in time, into a
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
I've been trying
There's no denying.
It's sending me
Out of my mind.
I've seen reason
Change to treason.
It's losing its sense
Of all kind.
How much longer will it take
For the world to see.
We should learn to live
And simply let it be.
Bloodstone, bloodstone.
In the night time
Wake in fright.
I'm so scared of the game
That's being played.
Start to wonder
What's going under.
And how many deals
Have been made.
Bloodstone.
I can't take it.
You got me living
On a bloodstone
Do you like it heavy
Do you love it mean
Do you want it dirty
We don¹t play it clean
Standing in the spotlight
Ceiling the the floor
I can see you rockin¹
Let me hear you roar
Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound
Any day. Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it
Can you feel the power
Blinded by the light
Keep on goin¹ crazy
Burnin¹ up the night
Shouting out together
Boiling like the sun
Metal lives forever
Blazing on and on
Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound
Any day. Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it
Do you like it heavy
Do you love it loud
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
You think you're cool and got it all
You think you run the scene
I don't believe how you'd concieve
That your good enough for me
You think you've got it all sewn up
But I'll cut you right down to size
The way I figure you dont exist
So you'd better realize
Don't you touch
Don't get near
Don't take me for a fool
Make no mistake
No give and take
I'm too good for you
So keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
Keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off me
Hands off
Keep your hands off me
I'm number one when I turn it on
Do you think you can relate
You'd be amazed, left in a daze
To see me operate
Don't you touch
Don't get near
Don't take me for a fool
Make no mistake
No give and take
I'm too good for you
So keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
Keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
You live in a fantasy
I don't even care.
If you're lookin' for sympathy
It ain't there
Hands off
Keep your dirty hands off me.
So keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
Keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
Keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
Keep your hands off
Private property
Hands off
Oh Oh
Hands off

I'm gonna break-out
I'm gonna drive my car
I'm gonna get up and go
I want some action
I've been working so hard

Can you feel the beat
Everybody's rockin' in the summer heat
As the sun goes down
Well deep down inside
You feel your tempature rise
For those wild nights
Hot and crazy days
Wild nights
Hot and crazy days
I'm feeling good tonight
I'm gonna cruise around
Makin' every head turn
Wind up the radio
I'm in the mood for some lovin'
Cause the night time's comin'
Can you feel the beat
Everybody's rockin' in the summer heat
As the sun goes down
Well deep down inside
You feel your tempature rise
For those wild nights
Hot and crazy days
Wild nights

Hot and crazy days
Wild nights

Wild nights
Hot and crazy days
Wild nights
Hot and crazy days

Alright baby. You know how to have a good time don't cha
It's the way you stand
You're always attracting attention
Now with your hands on your hips, and a
Snarl on your lips
Your eyes wore the look of danger
There's a lion in your heart,
That's set to quick start,
To a glance from any stranger
You give as good as you get
No one's beat you yet
You take the lead
You never need
You know all the moves you've got to make
You take it all, you take it all the way
Ya never do things by half
You're a man with a reputation
You never shy when the problems fly
You can cope with any situation
You take the wheel and crack the whip
You never slip
You rule the roost
You always boast
Yeah you're lookin' after number one
