JUDAS PRIEST LYRICS

1. Dragonaut

Welcome to my world of steel
Master of my domain
Cower as the pain´s unsealed
Disasters where I´ll reign

Father of sin I´ll drag you all in
Bow down as I petrify

Fire in the sky paralyzed with fear
You know you´re gonna die
Dragonaut is near

Icon to the fall of man
Worshipped like a king
Fearless as I now condemn
Every living thing

Father of sin I´ll drag you all in
Bow down as I petrify

Fire in the sky paralyzed with fear
You know you´re gonna die
Dragonaut is near

Father of sin I´ll drag you all in
Bow down as I petrify
Relish the blaze left all in a daze
He came and consumed and let fly

Fire in the sky paralyzed with fear
You know you´re gonna die
Dragonaut is near
Fire in the sky paralyzed with fear
You know you´re gonna die
Dragonaut is near

2. Redeemer Of Souls

Time to settle the score
He's loaded to feel their remorse
Steadfast strong that's for sure
The deal of his life takes its course
No giving in
They don't understand
They get to give up and to meet his demands

Count down coming your way
He's the last to obey
Watch him seizing the day
Redeemer - redeemer of souls

There's no holding him back
The ransom announces his deeds
He's not cutting you slack
Just taking what ever he needs
Diamonds for eyes
As he begins
On that two wheeler from hell on the wind

Now he's setting the tune
They know the stare down is soon
Vengeance comes at high noon
Redeemer of souls
On the skyline
The stranger draws near
Feel the heat and he's shaking with fear

Countdown coming your way
He's the last to obey
Watch him seizing the day
Redeemer of souls

3. Halls Of Valhalla

Valhalla...

Fierce is the gale from the north sea
We drink and rejoice from the chalice
Holding the course through long nights and days
The ice and the hail bear no malice

[Pre-chorus:]
Tow the line, keep it fine
Every man seeks this end

[Chorus:]
Valhalla, you are calling
Valhalla, you are calling me home
Valhalla, new day dawning
Valhalla, this is where I belong, i belong...

We crash o’er the waves
Bite deep on the oars
Scouring the spray on the storm’s maul
Then lightning reveals for what we all pray
By Odin in Asgard its land fall

Life from death, combat rests
Heralds peace for the slain

[Chorus]

The storm in the night
Takes us there
On an unrelenting tide
As the wind drives us ashore

Halls of Valhalla, halls of Valhalla
Halls of Valhalla, halls of Valhalla...

[Pre-chorus]

The halls of Valhalla, are calling me home
The halls of Valhalla, that's where we belong

[Chorus]

4. Sword Of Damocles

Will you take the dare if it was ever placed
There´s danger to challenge the throne
Deceivers will rise
And weave their web of stealth
Can you face them standing alone

When men lead by words
That are false as they preach
Fatality waits in the wings
Surrounded by fools
Behind walls that are breached
Beware of the jester that sings

Stand tall rise up
Stay strong fighting your enemies
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword

The whispers can´t hide
When the tongues are let loose
Then hiding the truth is absurd
A stab in the back or taste of the noose
Is when action speaks louder than words

Stand tall rise up
Stay strong fighting your enemies
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword

Wield the spear of light guard it with your life
Wield the spear of light guard it with your life
Sword of Damocles Damocles
Sword of Damocles Damocles

Stand tall rise up
Stay strong fighting your enemies
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword
Truth will find its reward
If you live and die by the sword

5. March Of The Damned

We're walking the streets
We know where we'll meet
Can't stop us
They don't know why they try
Can't hurt us
We'll never die

We are on the march of the damned
Of the damned
March of the damned

We know what's at stake
Won't take your mistakes
Can't break us
We'll never fall, black souls
It's over
Just watch us crawl

We are on the march of the damned
Of the damned
March of the damned

We're walking the streets
We know where we'll meet
Can't stop us
They don't know why they try
Can't hurt us
We'll never die

We are on the march of the damned
Of the damned
March of the damned

6. Down In Flames

My last days we shall see
They are coming now they´re after me
They want blood yes it´s true
Going quietly I just don´t do

Going down in flames
Going down in a blaze of glory
Going down in flames
Going down in a blaze of glory

In my heart in my heart
I can say I can say
I´ll be ready for what comes my way
Don´t be fooled don´t be fooled
I can tell I can tell
Where I´m going to will serve me well

Going down in flames
Going down in a blaze of glory
Going down in flames
Going down in a blaze of glory

Leaving my mark
On the world when I´ve gone
Spreading the word
By the deeds that I´ve done

Going down in flames
Going down in flames
Going down in a blazing glory
Going down in flames
Going down in flames
Going down in a blazing glory
Going down in flames
Going down in flames
Going down in a blazing glory
Going down in flames
Going down in flames
Going down in a blazing glory

7. Hell & Back

I have roamed so far away
I have found there´s no turning back
I have seen so many things
I have been to hell and back

Still in the land of the living
Rocking the home of the brave
Staying alive and still kicking
Ain´t got no need to be saved

Out of the fire and into the black
We´ve been through it all
We´ve been to hell and back

When I was young life was savage
The leather gets scruffed as it´s worn
Rolling alone you get damaged
So you grab the bull by the horns

Out of the fire and into the black
We´ve been through it all
We´ve been through hell and back
Take it up higher when you´re under attack
We´ve been through it all
We´ve been through hell and back

We have roamed so far away
We have found there´s no turning back
We have seen so many things
We have been to hell and back

Out of the fire and into the black
We´ve been through it all
We´ve been through hell and back
Take it up higher when you´re under attack
We´ve been through it all
We´ve been to hell and back

We´ve all been under attack
We´ve all been to hell and back
We´ve all been under attack
We´ve all been to hell and back
We´ve all been under attack
We´ve all been to hell and back
We´ve all been under attack
We´ve all been to hell and back

8. Cold Blooded

I have no face
I have no mind
I have no senses left
You see I'm blind

I feel no faith
I hear no truth
The reason is I have
Have all gone loose

[Chorus]
There is no way
I have no voice
I have no say
I have no choice
I feel no pain or sympathy
It's just cold blood that runs through me

I lie here numb
My conscience clear
And all the decency
Transfuse to fear

I feel no faith
I hear no truth
The reasonings I have
Have all come loose

[Chorus]
There is no way
I have no voice
I have no say
I have no choice
I feel no pain or sympathy
It's just cold
Blood that runs through me

[Bridge]
You took my life
And all I live for
I left for dead
Cold blooded and in hell
Aaaaaahhhhh......

[Harmonies / solos]

[Chorus]
There is no way
I have no voice
I have no say
I have no choice
I feel no pain or sympathy
It's just cold blood that runs through me

9. Metalizer

Yeah thrusting from a grave of unholy earth
Giving all his worth let the damned be saved
All that evil sin buried underground
Feeling safe and sound in his deadly skin

Heard the cry of pain so he´s wide awake
Now for heaven´s sake he´s become insane
How we feared the worst of a world gone mad
Never been so bad with a curse of

His immortal soul at stake
Hear the storm clouds break
He will find you goes for your throat
Mesmerize you he is the metalizer

With a clash of steel as the war begins
All he does is grin at the pain he feels
Fixing for a war of a hundred years
With no sense of fear tooth and nail will

Claw at flesh and bone to prevail
His honor will not fail
He will find you goes for your throat
Mesmerize you he is the metalizer

In this war that you can´t win
You will die or live
He has ruled for a thousand years
He can´t ever forgive

Fire and brimstone fill the earth and sky
Still he will defy
He will find you goes for your throat
Memorize you he is the metalizer
He will find you goes for your throat
Memorize you he is the metalizer

Metalizer metalizer metalizer metalizer

10. Crossfire

Watch your own reflection read between the lines
Lost in this confusion it´s a sign of the times

Caught in a crossfire you gotta let go
Caught in a crossfire you gotta let go

Opium for the masses world´s gone deaf and dumb
Victims of insanity ruled by the gun

Caught in a crossfire you gotta let go
Caught in a crossfire you gotta let go

Too much information messes with your mind
Pushing back the enemy blind leads the blind
World of smoking mirrors leaves you in a daze
Find your own solution out of the maze

Swearing on the bible hypocrites and fools
Losing your religion breaking all the rules

Caught in a crossfire you gotta let go
Caught in a crossfire you gotta let go

Caught in a crossfire caught in a crossfire
Caught in a crossfire caught in a crossfire

11. Secrets Of The Dead

The shifting sands conceal the truth
Revealing only lies
A crescent moon casts ghostly shapes
As somewhere some thing flies

We let ourselves be bled
Secrets of the dead

Deserted by the ghosts that knew
Man´s triumphs had no bounds
Left starving by our own mistakes
The sands reclaimed their ground

We let ourselves be bled
Secrets of the dead

Times takes us down so deep
Is this the place we seek

Secrets of the dead secrets of the dead

We never learn from our mistakes
Imperfect til the end
You can´t pick up the pieces
And the hearts we break can´t mend
As if they knew the gift they brought
Was wasted on this earth
They searched out for a better race
On whom to bring rebirth

We let ourselves be bled
Secrets of the dead
We let ourselves be bled
Secrets of the dead

Where angels fear to tread
The secrets of the dead
Where angels fear to tread
The secrets of the dead

12. Battle Cry

Hail the hero coming home
Honour bound from whence he roamed
Fortitude and skill call of duty all alone
Lead the nation for the crown
Serve the orders coming down
Charge ahead with pride
Guard the chivalry you´ve shown

Those forsaken reawakened
With my battle cry

Indestructible by choice
Valour rings out with the voice
Rail the consequence
Destiny´s the flag you hoist

Your endeavor lives forever
With my battle cry

Battle cry death defy
Battle cry never die

Cast this sorrow to the wind
Cast this sorrow to the wind
Let tomorrow be the light
You´re made to herald in

Like a master of the seven seas
Your reputations grow
This eternal flame´s been sown

Praise for sacrifice that´s done
Well deserved you carried on
Let your hearts be full
For those heroes every one

Restitution absolution
With my battle cry
Exoneration condemnation
With my battle cry

Battle cry death defy
Battle cry battle cry

13. Beginning Of The End

The time has come and as I reach up to the sky
The love will never die at last it´s here
The darkest sky begins to clear
The final hour draws near
But the voices are calling me
Erasing the pain and the fear

So lay me down lay me to rest it´s over now
´Cause I know it´s the beginning of the end

And so we´ll rise by the grace of God alone
His words carved in stone I´m never gone
I´ll always be within your heart
Waiting´s the worst part
Now the voices are calling me
Soothing me and easing the pain and the fear

So lay me down lay me to rest it´s over now
´Cause I know it´s the beginning of the end

And I see my life pass quickly by I am watching
All these years we thought we were so wise
They mean nothing
Walk alone into the dying mist come alive forever
See the things we´ve never seen before
Hand in hand together

The falling rays are lightning up the open door
We´ve all been waiting for
Where the voices are calling me
Showing the path that is clear

So lay me down lay me to rest it´s over now
´Cause I know it´s the beginning
So lay me down so lay me down
Lay me to rest lay me to rest it´s over now
´Cause I know it´s the beginning of the end

14. Snakebite

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

Two bit sniper
Kiss the viper
Lie in wait as you take the bait
Feel you getting nearer
And I'm coiled up aiming to bite

The clock starts ticking
When you start gunning

You won't see me coming

Get ready - ready for a snake bite
Get ready - ready for a snake bite

There's no escape when you taste my venom
I'll track you down till there's no place left to hide

Undertaker meet you maker
I'm cutting loose and let fly
Double dealer moving in nearer
It's time to say goodbye

Flowing through you paralyzing
Every vein in your body
Till your brain's ready to explode

15. Tears Of Blood

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

Shattered in the name of God
Shattered - batter never spare the rod
Eradicate till nothing's left
As they run you through
Shattered - battered slay the chosen fey

Tears of blood
Always falling
Tears of blood
On holy ground

Savaged for this desperate cause
Savaged - ravaged left with no remorse
Eternal life's divisive lie
Evades each mortal man
Savaged - ravaged destroying what you can

Tears of blood
Always falling
Tears of blood
On holy ground
Tears of blood
Always falling
We are weakened by your tears of blood

Hate lies till the very end
Faith dies by the hands of friends

Stay alive and live
Like you did before
Give your life to live forever
Forever more

Tears of blood
Always falling
Tears of blood
On holy ground
Tears of blood
Always falling

We are weakened by your tears of blood

Crying tears of blood
Crying tears of blood

16. Creatures

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

The night wind blows
Your heart rate grows
Your pulse is racing faster

They're on your trail
They know you'll fail
You're flirting with disaster

Creatures

The frost lies thick
Your breath comes quick
No chance for your survival

Life takes it's toll
And burns your soul
They've never had a rival

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

Their sense of smell
Was honed in hell
Their eyes sharp as needles

You're bathed in sweat
You've lost your bet
Caught in this upheaval

Creatures

You're on your own
So scream and moan
It's pointless now for praying

They'll run you through
You'll get what's due
Then they'll call it a day

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

Creatures

The night wind blows
Your heart rate grows

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night

Creatures of the night

Creatures

17. Bring It On

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

Lay it on the line
Give it some stick
No nickle no dime
Gonna pile it on thick

Rattle your cage
Moving in fast
Don't take no lip
He ain't gonna pass

Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows
Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows

Don't cry me a river
Sink or swim
We're in this together
So get stuck in

Pedal to the metal
Rise or fall
Way to go now
Winner takes all

Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows
Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows

Take your shot
You think you're big enough
You're gonna bite the dust
Give it all you got
You think you're tough enough

Come on bring it on

Bring it on
Step out of the shadows
Bring it on
Step out of the shadows

Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows

Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows

Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows
Out of the shadows

Bring it on - bring it on
Step out of the shadows
Out of the shadows

18. Never Forget

[Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]

As the sun sets on another day
All the memories will never fade away
Looking back to all those moments that we shared
Where it all began with all those dreams we dared
We leave with no regrets - we will never forget

We'll play on till the end
It's not over not over my friends
We are together tonight
Reunited for all of our lives
And we thank you for it all
We will never forget

When the dark skies came along to test our steel
We came together and showed the world just how we feel
So remember this
We can never fall
In our hearts we're all for one and one for all
So now we will rejoice
Tonight with one voice

We'll play on till the end
It's not over my friends
We are together tonight
Reunited for all of our lives
And we thank you for it all
We will never forget

In our hearts and in our minds
We know we can't leave this behind
In our hearts and in our soul
You know we'll never be alone

As we relive the best times of our lives
You were there for us and stood right by our sides
Yes we know that all good things come to an end
This is just farewell and not goodbye my friends
And we thank you for it all
We will never forget

We'll play on till the end
It's not over my friends
We are together tonight
Reunited for all of our lives
And we thank you for it all
We will never forget
