JUDAS PRIEST

PAINKILLER

1. PAINKILLER

Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He's half man and half machine

Rides the metal monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A saviour comes from out of the skies
In answer to their pleas

Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts of steel
Evil's going under deadly wheels

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Faster than a laser bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns

Flying high on rapture
Stronger, free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They've been brought back from to grave

With mankind resurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel, Painkiller
Deadly wheels, Painkiller

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Pain, pain, killer, killer
Pain, pain, killer, killer

This is the Painkiller
Pain.

2. HELL PATROL

Like wild fire
Comes roaring
Mad whirlwind
Burning the road

Black thunder
White lightning
Speed demons cry
The Hell Patrol
The Hell Patrol

Night riders
Death dealers
Storm bringers
Tear up the ground

Fist flying
Eyes blazing
They're glory bound
The Hell Patrol
The Hell Patrol

Brutalise you
Neutralise you
Gonna go for your throat as you choke
Then they'll vaporapise you

Terrorise you
Pulverise you
Gonna cut to the bone as you groan
And they'll paramatise you

Chrome masters
Steel warriors
Soul stealers
Ripping out hearts

The Hell Patrol
The Hell Patrol.

3. ALL GUNS BLAZING

Twisting the strangle grip
Won't give no mercy
Feeling those tendons rip
Torn up and mean

Twisting the strangle grip
Won't give no mercy
Feeling those tendons rip
Torn up and mean

Blastmaster racks the ground
Bent on survival
Full throttle hammers down
A deadly scream

All guns, all guns blazing
All guns, all guns blazing

Forced into overdrive
Drawn out of anger
All talons poison dipped
Impaling spike

Heart pounding fever pitch
Blood pumping fury
Two fisted dynamo
Eager to strike

All guns, all guns blazing
All guns, all guns blazing

Cross cutting thundercharge
Blade of destruction
Flame throwing hurricane
Destroys the cage

Bone crushing alien
God of salvation
Sad wings that heaven sent
Wipes out in rage

All guns, all guns blazing
All guns, all guns blazing
All guns, all guns blazing
All guns, all guns blazing.

4. LEATHER REBEL

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 night
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
Stories will recall

Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart

I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Stories will recall

Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart

Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart

Leather Rebel
Leather Rebel
Leather Rebel

Leather Rebel.

5. METAL MELTDOWN

Got a question: you people like heavy metal?
You don't mind if Judas Priest brings back heavy metal, huh?
And you don't mind if we take you people with us?
Uh-huh. How 'bout this

Something's calling
In the night
Electric madness
Roars in sight

Heat is rising
Blazing fast
Hot and evil
Feel the blast

Out of control
About to explode
It's coming at ya

Here comes the Metal Meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the Metal Meltdown
No one survives

Raging fury
Wired for sound
Nitro bombshell
Shakes the ground

High and mighty
Rips the air
Piercing laser
Burning glare

Out of control
About to explode
It's coming at ya

Here comes the Metal Meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the Metal Meltdown
No one survives

Temperature is boiling
Get with all your might
Feeding up the virus
Flashing light

Imminent collision
Shock waves all around
Generating energy
Scream so loud

It's coming, Metal
Start running, countdown

Here comes the Metal Meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the Metal Meltdown
No one survives

Metal Meltdown (8 x).

6. NIGHT CRAWLER

Howling winds keep screaming round
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Night Crawler
Beware the beast in black
Night Crawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its cry distorts
Terror struck, they know they've caught

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Night Crawler
Beware the beast in black
Night Crawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind

Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me", it calls

Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Night Crawler
Beware the beast in black
Night Crawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
Beware the beast in black
Night Crawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

Beware the beast

Night Crawler

Beware the beast
Beware the beast
Beware the beast

He's gonna get to you
He's gonna get to you

Night Crawler.

7. BETWEEN THE HAMMER & THE ANVIL

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 & the Anvil

Force rises
False ritual
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 & 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 & the Anvil
Between the Hammer & the Anvil
Between the Hammer & the Anvil
Between the Hammer & the Anvil

Storm warning
But there's no fear.

8. A TOUCH OF EVIL

You mesmerise 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
You're possessing me

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

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

Touch of Evil
Touch of Evil
Touch of Evil

Touch.

9. BATTLE HYMN
Instrumental

10. ONE SHOT AT GLORY

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
The battle's always won

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

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

One Shot at Glory

I still hear the battle cry
I still see the banners fly.
