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

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


2. Made In Hell

[Halford/Baxter/Z]

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 feel.

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 electricity 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 sidney 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


3. Into The Pit

[Halford]

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


4. Nailed To The Gun

[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


5. Light Comes Out Of Black

[Halford]

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


6. Stained Class

[Halford/Tipton]

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


7. Jawbreaker

[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
Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering

Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fibre on alert

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
Jawbreaker


8. Running Wild

[Tipton]

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


9. Slow Down

[Halford/Marlette/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 stronger

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
Feeling 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 - watch the pressure fall
Tell my mind - slow down - I can't have it
I can't have it all


10. The One You Love To Hate

[Feat. Bruce Dickinson - Guest Vocals]
[Halford/Dickinson/Z]

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 vultcher on 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 want to 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


11. Life In Black

[Halford]

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


12. Hell's Last Survivor

[Halford/Chlasciak]

I cry from the madness
Then reach for a hand
Stay on the lifeline
'till I understand

I watched my worlds 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 pray for deliverance
Grown from the guilt
Live from the bottom
Destroy what I built

I watched my worlds 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 will survive


13. Sad Wings

[Halford/Lachman/Chlasciak]

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 every 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'd make me feel impossible
You were wrong now who looks like the fool?

It's up to you,
What did you do?

Sad wings of destiny
It used to burn.
I know that faithfully
I'll see you turn.

It's everywhere
But do you care

Sad wings of destiny,
Where have they gone?
I know eternally
I'll carry on.

Sad wings of destiny
It used to burn.
I know that faithfully
I'll see you turn.
Sad wings of destiny


14. Savior

[Halford/Lachman/Z]

I'm set to paralyze
I'm older so I'm wise
I have been crucified
With words personified

Here I am now, I'm your savior
There can be only one
I'm the master, past and future
Now the end has begun

I've always stood alone
Your time got overgrown
Those words shot way too wide
No hate can take my pride

Here I am now, I'm your savior
You can see I'm the one
There's no reason for such treason
Now your end has begun


15. Silent Screams

[Halford/Marlette]

Look at me I'm chasing
After dreams left in the storm.

What I am is all that
Really matters now
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.

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
Though 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 where I belong.

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

The man in black
I'm coming back
To spew my evil hate.

My crown of horns
And bloody thorns
I 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,
You're disillusioned god.

I am god
I am fate
I am all the things you make.

Yeah.

Hate.

I am black
I am white
I'm 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 broken dreams
Your weakness gives me strength.

I'm laughing at your silent screams
I'll crush you with my hate.

Yeah.

You face it all
And face the fear that's here.

Until the silent screams
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 learn.
The needle's in my heart.

And things will never change.

So every time I scream I'm killing pain


16. Intro

[Halford]


17. Cyberworld

[Halford/Chlasciak/Z]

You're trapped inside my cyber world
Consumed up as my web unfurls
No secrets left for your mankind.

My virus lurks throughout your veins
I'm spreading there inside your brain
A trojan horse that eats your mind.

Cyber world
Cyber world
I've got your power.

Cyber world
Cyber world
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.

Cyber world
Cyber world
I'll steal your mind.

Cyber world
Cyber world
For all mankind, yeah...

You're dying in my cyber world
You're lying in my cyber world


18. The Hellion

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]
[Instrumental]


19. Electric Eye

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]

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


20. Riding On The Wind

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]

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


21. Genocide

[Tipton/KK/Halford]

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


22. Beyond The Realms Of Death

[Halford/Binks]

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


23. Metal Gods

[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


24. Breaking The Law

[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


25. Blackout

[Meine/Schenker/Rarebell/Kittelsen]
[Originally performed by Scorpions]
[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


26. Tyrant

[Halford/Tipton]

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


27. Screaming In The Dark

[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


28. Heart Of A Lion

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]

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


29. Prisoner Of Your Eyes

[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
