[Halford/Lachman/Baxter/Roy Z]
I'm digging deep inside my soul
To bring myself out of this God-damned hole
I rid the demons from my heart
And found the truth was with me from the start
Holy angel lift me from this burning hell
Resurrection make me whole
Son of Judas bring the saints to my revenge
Resurrection bring me home
I walked alone into a Fight
No longer standing in satanic light
I tried to look too far ahead
And saw the road go to my past instead
Holy angel lift me from this burning hell
Resurrection make me whole
Son of Judas bring the saints to my revenge
Resurrection bring me home
I've faced the things I've said and done
There is no bastard left to overcome
The peace of mind I thought was lost
Was right in front of me on paths I've crossed
. . .

[Halford/Roy Z/Baxter]
From memories of 68 when the wizard shook the world
Metal came from foundries where the midlands sound unfurled
The bullring was a lonely place of concrete towers and steel
The coal mines and the industries were all I had to fell.
Something inside took hold of me, I really didn't know
But overtime it came to be, I knew which way to go
I drove around in search of what would make this all come true
From jazz and elecricity and good old southern blues
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
In Henry's and in mother's where I'd go to bang my head
The feeling took a hold of me with every word I said
The voice was born and came alive from all I saw and heard
And now I knew my destiny, I had to spread the word.
I took the scream around the world
From London to L.A.
Unleashed in downtown Tokyo
Blew Godzilla away
Then on the sound and fury went from Sydney to Brazil
It sent the Russians crazy cause they never get their fill.
Of Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
The stage and the lights and the amps are ablaze watch them burn
From all this insanity the Metal God's will return.
Shock waves attack relentlessly, intimidating force
So many bands surrounding you with evil from our source
It screams across the universe and slams you to the floor
This blitzkrieg psycho mania is coming on full roar
The world's a stage that's waiting for its bad ass to get kicked
And we're all on the road to hell and that's route 666
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell

Bear witness to treason
Abeyance they cower
Compulsion of liars
Addicted to power
Into the pit
Into the pit
Conspiring for sation
Malfeasance on high
Obstruction of duty
Disorder will rise
Into the pit
Into the pit
Possession by force
Reprisal to task
Defenseless no longer
Expulsion by mass
Into the pit
Into the pit

[Halford]
Sig sauer. Victim of a system's non-control
Devour, striking terror into every soul
Communication breakdown onto self destruction
Schizophrenic people breeding hate
Pessimistic thinking from a failed connection
Survival comes when we annihilate
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Paranoia, termination sickness zero's good
Blind power, executing humans in cold blood
Degenerating children with an opiated bullet
Poison flows from words out on the street
Trapped inside the home that has become the prison
Dissin' everybody that we meet
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Locked and loaded, governmental lost to anarchy
Weapon goaded, magnum is gagging liberty
Cultural collision in an endless frenzy
Numbing minds with threats of violence
Hopeless to the dream of any decent future
Running on sheer fear and ignorance
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
. . .

Innocence is calling
Raptures in the past
Craving for salvation of the mind
Serenity is calling
Seeking only truth
Vision block forever left behind
Light comes out of black
Stand and face the fear
Give him eye too eye
Walk the walk right here
Images unraveling
Saw through the disguise
Crystal clear and shining through and through
Liberation traveling
Bringing down the wall
Universe waking coming too
Light comes out of black
Stand and face the fear
Give him eye too eye
Walk the walk right here
Let the fight begin
Watch the power soar
Work the magic now
Free forever more
Now feel the light
Lifting up and rising all alive
Now feel the light
Keep the faith inside and i'll survive...
Innocence is calling
Raptures in the past
Craving for salvation of the mind
Serenity is calling
Seeking only truth
Visual blocked forever
Left behind
Light comes out of black
Stand and face the fear
Give him eye too eye
Walk the walk right here
Let the fight begin
Watch the power soar
Work the magic now
Free forever more
Light comes out of black

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 un-touched 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 deceit
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed
Each un-touched 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 un-touched thing
So now he's just
A stained class king
Stained class king
. . .

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]
Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like a 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
. . .

I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a mad man
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'cos 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
'cos 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'll taste the life that pleases me
Or 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 night life
And they just step aside
'cos when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get gutta my way
I'm running wild
. . .

[Halford/Marlette/Roy Z]
Let it be
Still my anger
Bring me peace
From my temper
I'm trying every way I can
I'm doing wrong I understand
Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall
Bring me peace - slow down - I can't have it, I can't have it all.
Break the strain
Feed my hunger
Tell my mind
To be stonger
I've got to move and make it real
I've got to make myself a deal
Break this strain - slow down - give up what I crave
Tell my mind - slow down - watch what I can, watch what I can save.
Will I rise
Out of shadow
Staying calm
Felling hollow
I'm here to give me one more chance
That choice is resting in my hands, yeah...
Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall
Bring me peace - slow down - I can't have it, I can't have it all.
Break this strain - slow down - give up what I crave
Tell my mind - slow down - watch what I can, watch what I can save.

You may not like the future
And we're not here to preach to you
We'll take you to the killing floor.
You think you want to know me
You think you want to own me
But I have nothing you can buy.
I can break you
I can raise you
Bring you to your knees
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
You can't fool me
You can't rule me
You only wanna hang around
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
So come on get a load of this
Something you can't afford to miss
You're just a vulture in my veins.
Your nails won't crucify me
Got money, but you can't see
Your only future is your past.
I can break you
I can raise you
Bring you to your knees
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
You can't fool me
You can't rule me
You only wanna hang around
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
I can break you
I can raise you
Bring you to your knees
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
You can't fool me
You can't rule me
You only wanna hang around
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.

Life in black
You never were there for me
No never at all
You never took care of me
You just watched me fall
Life in black
Life in black
I placed all my faith in you
I needed you here
Christ knows what i've got to do
To rid me of fear
Life in black
Life in black
You took me for everything
As long as I live
While there's still one breath in you
I'll never forgive

I cry from the madness
Then reach for a hand
Stay on the lifeline
Till I understand
I watched my world's collide
And drive me underground
I've been to hell and back
And beat the devil down
I'm all I have
I'm all I need
The Last Survivor
I fought and won
And now I'm free
The last Survivor
I prayed for deliverance
Grown from the guilt
Lived from the bottom
Destroyed what I built
I watched my world's collide
It drove me underground
I've been to hell and back
And beat the devil down
I'm all I have
I'm all I need
The Last Survivor
I fought and won
And now I'm free
The last Survivor
I will Survive
I will Survive
I'm all I have
I'm all I need
The Last Survivor
I fought and won
And now I'm free
The last Survivor

Who can say they've never made mistakes.
Only fools will suffer what they make
Owning up rids poison when you can
Admitting you were wrong makes you a man
It's very where
But do you care?
Sad wings of destiny
Where have they gone?
I know eternally
I'll carry on
Did you think that I would disappear?
Were you so dried up from all your fear?
Thought you've make me feel impossible
You were wrong now who looks like the fool?
It's up to you
What did I do?
Sad wings of destiny
I used to burn
I know that faithfully
I'll see you turn
It's very where
But do you care?
Sad wings of destiny
Where have they gone?
I know eternally
I'll carry on
Sad wings of destiny
I used to burn
I know that faithfully
I'll see you turn

I have been crucified
With words personified
Here I am now, I'm your

[Halford/Marlette]
Look at me I'm chasing
After dreams left in the storm
What I am is all
That really matters now
That lies are gone -
That lies are gone,
All the lies are gone,
The lies are gone.
Tempting fate and losing
Friends along the way I loved
No regrets
I'm standing
With a needle in my heart -
Needle in my heart,
Needle in my heart,
Needle in my heart.
You'll never know
My life means everything
Still I scream because
There's nothing left to do until the end.
The world goes on
With all that I've become
And still I scream inside
For all the pain I've taken hasn't changed.
Nothing's changed at all
The truth is like a chain
Heaven's calling me
The place that I belong
Killing pain -
Killing pain.
Close my eyes a million faces
Get inside my mind.
Take a breath and fill my troubled
Soul with all mankind.
Killing pain -
Killing pain,
I'm killing pain,
Killing pain.
The world goes on
With all that I've become.
And still I scream inside
For all the pain I've taken hasn't changed...
The man in black
I'm coming back to spew my evil hate.
My crown of horns and bloody thorns
I'll dig up what you fear.
I am the shape that's in your room that watches over you.
I am the needle in your heart - your disillusioned God.
I am God, I am fate, I am all the sins you make, yeah - hate.
I am black, I am white, I am the blood upon the knife, yeah - hate.
Since time began I made a vow to drag you underground;
To steal your soul of purity and watch you waste away.
I am pure, I am right, I'm the God that makes you fight, yeah - hate.
I am life, I am death, I will steal your final breath, yeah - hate.
I prey upon your brocken dreams your weakness gives me strength.
I'm laughing at your silent screams I'll crush you with my hate.
You take it all
And face the fear that's here
Until the Silence Screams
it leaves you with no choice to carry on.
You'll never fall
When all is said and done
The only Scream is here
The journey never ends - it's just begun...
The lies that never learned
The needles in my heart
And things will never change
So everytime I scream I'm killing pain.

You're trapped inside my Cyber World
Consumed up as my web unfurls
No secrets left for your mankind.
My virus lurks throughtout your veins
I'm spreading there inside your brain
A Trojan Horse that eats your mind.

I've got your power.

I will devour, yeah...
At speed of lies I will connect
I search and surf as I infect
Computerized catastrophe.
Your information's what I steal
I scan you till you are unreal
Transmit your power into me.

I've steal your mind.

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you're 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'm 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
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
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
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light
Glowing god of mars
Body burning bright
We'll I'm riding, riding on the wind
Yes I'm riding, riding on the wind
Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power
We'll I'm riding, riding on the wind
Yes I'm riding, riding on the wind
Thunder bolt from hell
Shattering aloud
Screaming demons yell
Bursting through the clouds
We'll I'm riding, riding on the wind
Yes I'm riding, riding on the wind

Mercenary battalions
Are poised to strike us down
Terminations conquest
Upon us now full grown
Save me my hearts open wide
Help me no question of pride
Save me my people have died
Total genocide
Devastation hungers she waits to leap to earth
Imminent liquidation
Before the grand rebirth
Sin after sin I have endured
But the wounds I bare
Are the wounds of love
Frantic mindless zombies
Grab at fleeing time
Lost in cold perplection
Waiting for the sign
Generations tremble
Clinging face to face
Helpless situation
To end the perfect race
Slashing senseless sabres
Cut us to the ground
Eager for the life blood
Of all who can be found
Slice to the left slice to the right
None to retaliate none will fight
Chopping at the hearts snuffing out the lives
This race departs and no one will survive
Heads to the feet - feet to the air
Souls in the soil heavy in despair
End of all ends bodies into dust
To greet deaths friend extinction is a must
On the rocks

He'd 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
Yeah i've left the world behind
I am safe here in my mind
Im 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 staring 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
Keep the world with all its sin it's not fit for living in
Yeah I will start again it can take forever and ever and ever
But I shall win
How many like him are there still
Who to us all seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands blank and lost
Is knowledge worth this bitter cost
Beyond the realms of death
. . .

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]
We'd taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we'd first planted
Evolved a mind of its own
Walking in the street dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
From what had been our 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
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd learn to discover
How they could make their demands
Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
Than meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath
. . .

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]
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
So much for that 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 things too
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
You don't know what's like
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law

[Bonus Track]
I realize I missed the day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see the face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make a run
On my way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout

Behold 'tis I the commander whose grip controls you all
Resist me not surrender i'll no compassion call
Tyrant captor of humanity
Tyrant conqueror of all
Tyrant hideous destructor
Tyrant everyman shall fall
Your very lives are held between my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things that belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since tyrant was enthroned
I listen not to sympathy whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand
My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you shall scream as you are sought
. . .

[Halford]
Inner world trance of the lifeless souls
Search and destroy of the damned
Turning the grave of the bleached out bones
Rise of the ghosts of bedlam
Lay on the blade of the cold guillotine
Feeling the steel on my spine
Taste of the blood as it falls from my mouth
I'm evil suspended in time
Scream
In the dark
Of my world
Inner dark
Why?
Does the torture remain and persist?
Die?
Can I never submit and resistance?
Down on my side
The nightmares colliding
I'm writhing and raging in flames
Bite on the bitch on the back of the beast
Burning desert plains
Scream
In the dark
Of my world
Inner dark
Violence rides as the human race dies
Death bringer stabs away life
Scream
In the dark
Of my world
Inner dark
Screaming
In the
Screaming
In the
Screaming
Inner darkness of my world

Crashing through the city streets
Caught in the glare of the midnight sun
I've got wings upon my feet
But locked as I run
Now you're just a breath away
From knocking me senseless to the ground
No escape I hear you say
You're never safe - from a
Heart
Heart of a lion
From a heart
Heart of a lion
I close my eyes and see your face
Seems like I'm trapped within your spell
Will I ever win this race?
You're moving in
Hear my name cried from the sky
There is a thrill that cuts the air
In your hold - I know that i
Will never find the love - from a
Heart
Heart of a lion
Heart
Heart of a lion
All around I hear the sound
Of your mighty roar
As I hear the thunder
You are calling out for more
All around I hear the sound
Of your mighty roar
As I hear the thunder
You are crying
My heart
Of a lion
My heart
Of a lion
Cold heart
Heart of a lion
Your heart

[Halford/Downing/Tipton/Lachman]
When I saw your face
I Became a prisoner of your eyes
And I would do most anything
To stay and be with you.
How did we go wrong?
I can't believe it's over
Tell me why it's happening?
Who threw it all away?
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Bring back what I'm living for
You're all I'm thinking of
Take me home to paradise
Give me back your love
No one takes the blame
You and I have wondered
We gave all we could to this
It's time to face the truth
Now we realize
All we had is over
Comes an end to everything
There's nothing left to give
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Bring back what I'm living for
You're all I'm thinking of
Take me home to paradise
Give me back your love
Bring back what I'm living for
You're all I'm thinking of
Take me home to paradise
Give me back your love
Stop the heartache
We can try and start again
End the heart break
A little time - will help to ease the pain
I still see your face
When I close my eyes
If I opened up again
Would you still be here?
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Bring back what I'm living for
You're all I'm thinking of
Take me home to paradise
Give me back your love
Bring back what I'm living for
You're all I'm thinking of
Take me home to paradise
Give me back your love
