Judas Priest
Album • 1980
Pounding the world Like a battering ram Forging the furnace For the final grand slam Chopping away at the source Soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction That's second to none Hammering anvils Screaming muscle and might Shattering blows Crashing brow beating fright Fast devastating and Desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of Truth through each man Of this earth Wielding the axe Comes the one culmination That's always seemed Certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad It's the age for the rage of the Dogs which must fall to the just And be freed No grief for the vandals Who trampled and sampled Till this base condition Brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding Corrosive subsiding That withered and waned Till the world seemed all drained Feels the blade Pounding the world Like a battering ram Forging the furnace For the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction That's second to none Second to none

We've taken too much for granted And all the time it had grown From 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 what had seemed my perfection Where we could do as we please In secrecy this infection Was spreading like a disease Hiding underground Knowing we'd be found Fearing for our lives Reaped by robot scythes Metal Gods, Metal Gods Metal Gods, Metal Gods Machines are taking all over With mankind in their command In time they'd learnt to discover How they could make their demand Better be the slaves To their wicked ways But meeting with our death Engulfed in molten breath

Never straight and narrow I won't keep in time Tend to bend the arrow out of line Been inclined to wander Off the beaten track That's where there's thunder and the wind shouts back Grinder - looking for the meat Grinder - wants you to eat Got no use for routine I shiver at the thought Open skies on my scene this boy won't get caught Refuse to bait the man trap Be left to set the snare I love to have my sight capped everywhere Grinder - looking for meat Grinder - wants you to eat I have my license It came with birth For self reliance of this earth You take the bullet On which my name Was etched to file me in your game Day of independence Stamped us like a brand On 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 Grinder - looking for meat Grinder - wants you to eat

Living after midnight Rockin' to the dawn Lovin' till the morning Then I'm gone, I'm gone I took the city 'bout 1 a.m. Loaded, loaded I'm all geared up to score again Loaded, loaded I come alive in a neon light That's when I make my moves right Living after midnight Rockin' till the dawn Lovin' till the mornin' Then I'm gone, I'm gone Got gleaming chrome reflectin' steel Loaded, loaded Ready to take on every deal Loaded, loaded My pulse is racin', I'm hot to take This motor's revved up fit to break Living after midnight Rockin' to the dawn Lovin' till the morning Then I'm gone, I'm gone I'm aiming for you I'm gonna floor you My body's coming all night long! The air's electric, sparking power Loaded, loaded I'm getting harder by the hour Loaded, loaded I set my sights and then home in The joint starts flyin' when I begin Living after midnight Rockin' to the dawn Lovin' till the morning Then I'm gone, I'm gone

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 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 the chance I'm gonna take Gonna kick off trouble and strife I've grown 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 Now I don't care if 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 a show in Don't seem a lot of time Not to me So it's off with the ties No compromise Want to taste What it's like to be free I've grown 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 All right I'm grabbin' the reins Holding the rope Live and let live from now on At last a free hand No longer pre-planned I got a will of my own I'll go as I please Fend for myself Pull out all 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

From a fireball we came Cross sea and mountain We were drinking beauty with our eyes We were given all To make our own Let us be left alone Laid the tasks and paid the price Everything suffice Crashed and bolted all we craved After every whim What a state we're in Is pain better than the grave? Well we talk with other men We see red and then Deep inside our blood begins to boil Like a tiger in the cage We begin to shake with rage

Catch the flame 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 sheep's clothing So deft in consoling Lurking in shadows They pounce least expected When you come too They'll have gone right through you Tricksters guilters Play their game Slight of handers All the same Masquerader in his lair Wants to tangle in your hair
