Exciter
(Tipton / Halford)
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and smoulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
the very soul of your being will cringe
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
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterizing masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done
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
Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
White Heat, Red Hot
(Tipton)
The father's son
Thy kingdom come
Electric ecstasy
Deliver us
From all the fuss
And give us sanctuary
Lead us all into arena
Magnificent in death
Well let us serenade the sinner
We'll follow in his step
White
Heat
Red
Hot
Burns
Deep
White heat's hot
The fury songs
Venomous wrongs
So rich in tragedy
An overture
Forever more
To senseless victories
Give to us this day of glory
The power and the kill
So we avoid the wrath and all the
Almighty fire of
White
Heat
Red
Hot
Burns
Deep
White heat's hot
Burns a lot
Who are not
Cut out
To fight
This day
Will surely fall
The few
Who stand
To take
Command
Forever and ever are men
Prepare to fight
Unsheathe your scythe
A ghastly beam of ill
To slice the life
With blinding light
And seventh dimensional skill
The centuries of dedication
Inherited till at last
From years of solar gladiation
Can only end in
White
Heat
Red
Hot
Burns
Deep
White heat's hot
Burns a lot
Who are not
Cut out
To fight
This day
Will surely fall
The few
Who stand
To take
Command
Forever and ever are men
White heat
Red hot
White heat
Red hot
Better by You, Better Than Me
(Gary Wright)
You could find a way to ease my passion
You listen to the blood flow in my veins
You hear the teaching of the wind
Tell her why I'm alive within
I can't find the words, my mind is dead
It's better by you better than me
Guess you'll have to tell her how I tried
To speak up thoughts I've held so inside
Tell her now I got to go
Out in the streets and down the shore
Tell her the world's not much for living for
It's better by you better than me
Everybody
Everybody knows
Everybody
Everybody knows
Better by you better than me
You can tell what I want it to be
You can say what I only can see
It's better by you better than me
Guess I'll have to change my way of living
Don't wanna really know the way I feel
Guess I'll learn to fight and kill
Tell her not to wait until
They'll find my blood upon her windowsill
It's better by you better than me
Everybody
Everybody knows
Everybody
Everybody knows
Better by you better than me
You can say what I only can see
You can tell what I want it to be
It's better by you better than me
Better by you better than me
You can tell what I want it to be
You can say way all they can see
Better by you better than me
Better by you better than me
You can say way all they can see
You can tell what I want it what I want it what I want it to be
Better by you better than me
Stained Class
(Tipton / Halford)
Wild-eyed and tight fisted
Long ago
Transfixed at deliverance
Long ago
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
Impaled with betrayal
Long ago
Stained class king
I came across a smoking field, pulsating afterglow
Invader
This is the first of more to come in carefully planned attacks
Invader
When they come to take control
We warn you now you things out there, whatever you may send
Invader
They laughed at their gods
Wake the dead
Cover your fists
Wake the dead
We are saints (saints saints saints saints...)
The streets run with blood from the mass mutilation
Saints in Hell
The battle is over
Saints in Hell
Who gives you the right
Born with the stars we are happy and peaceful
Savage, who is savage
You poisoned my tribe
What have we done to deserve such injustice
Savage, who is savage
You poisoned my tribe
What have we done to deserve such injustice
Savage, savage
He had enough
Yeah!
Withdrawn he'd sit there
Yeah!
Keep the world
How many like him
Yeah!
Keep the world
Beyond the realms of death
I heard a human voice who sang like no one else
I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage
Why do you have to die to be a hero
I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd
His music knew no limits if you were in it's wake
Why do you have to die to be a hero
If you gaze across timeless years
And many gods will join the list
Hungry mouths are waiting
And so the living dead
I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame
Why do you have to die to be a hero
Reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole-axed out and burnt
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
Is this all there is
Faithless continuum
Into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction
Absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy
And seducer deceit
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
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
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole-axed out and burnt
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
Invader
(Tipton / Halford / Hill)
I saw a seering flash of light erupt and skyward go
I staggered back in dazed surprise, What was it I had seen?
And as I stood there mesmerized I heard my spirit scream
Invader nearby
Invader
Invader is nigh
If it is so we must prepare defenses 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 nearby
Invader
Invader is nigh
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 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 nearby
Invader
Invader is nigh
Invader
Invader nearby
Invader
Invader is nigh
Invader
Invader nearby
Invader
Invader is nigh
Invader
Invader nearby
Invader
Invader is nigh
Invader
Invader nearby
Invader...
Saints in Hell
(Tipton / Halford / Downing)
And fought them in vain
So he turned his back on them
And left them in pain
Now here come the saints
With their banners held high
Each one of them martyrs
Quite willing to die
The saints are in Hell
Wake the dead
They've come for the bell
Razor your spears
It's been our possession
For 8,000 years
Fetch the scream eagles
Unleash the wild cats
Set loose the king cobras
And blood sucking bats
The saints are in hell
Wake the dead
They've come for the bell
In hell (hell hell hell hell hell...)
We are saints (saints saints saints saints...)
In hell (hell hell hell hell hell...)
We're going down (down down down down down...)
Into the fire (fire fire fire fire fire...)
We're going down
Into the fire (fire fire fire fire fire...)
As carnage took toll for the bell
Abattoir, abattoir, mon Dieu quelle horreur
For a time is was like second hell
Saints in Hell
The saints are alive
How can we all thank you
We felt so despised
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Savage
(Downing / Halford)
To come here and tell me
I have to leave this place my home
To you it's a jungle
To me it's a kingdom
Where my people are free there to roam
'Til now we were left undisturbed
But you rupture the forests
Our gardens and fill them
With filth from your cities unheard
Leave your morals, stake your claim
Savage, you are savage
Modern man can take the blame
With civilized progress
Baptizing our blood with disease
You christened our bodies
With sadness and suffering
Saying then that your god is well-pleased
Explain to us please if you can
But you can't, no you can't, we can see it in your eyes
Of us both who's the primitive man
Leave your morals, stake your claim
Savage, you are savage
Modern man can take the blame
With civilized progress
Baptizing our blood with disease
You christened our bodies
With sadness and suffering
Saying then that your god is well-pleased
Explain to us please if you can
But you can't, no you can't, we can see it in your eyes
Of us both who's the primitive man
Savage, savage
Who's the savage
Modern man
Who's the savage
Modern man
Beyond the Realms of Death
(Binks / Halford)
He couldn't take anymore
He'd 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
I've left the world behind
I'm safe here
In my mind
I'm free to speak
With my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
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
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
With all its sin
It's not fit
For livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever and ever, but I'll still win
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
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
With all its sin
It's not fit
For livin' in
Heroes End
(Tipton)
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
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
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 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
You had no choice, no, but hear its voice
And you would listen hypnotized, and in a dream
But once so strong survive or become weak
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
You'll find them always there
Compiled with dying care
To bite the hand that feeds
Carry on immortal deeds
But fast car user lose
That legend's born from death and that is such a shame
'Cos ev'ry year new ones appear
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
