HALFORD LYRICS

1. Resurrection

[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

2. Made In Hell

[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

3. Locked and Loaded

[Halford/Lachman/Roy Z]

I've got no sympathy
For all you've done to me
I'll bring you to your knees
And give you what you please

I'm gonna get to you
Just like you got to me
And then I'll do to you
Just what you did to me

I'm gonna shoot it,
I'm gonna shoot it,
Cause I'm locked and loaded

I'm gonna shoot it,
I'm gonna shoot it,
Cause I'm locked and loaded

I aim to make you high
Won't stop until you cry
Just when you think I'm done
I've only just begun

I'm gonna get to you
Just like you got to me
And then I'll do to you
Just what you did to me

I'm gonna shoot it,
I'm gonna shoot it,
Cause I'm locked and loaded

I'm gonna shoot it,
I'm gonna shoot it,
Cause I'm locked and loaded

I'm gonna get to you
Just like you got to me
And then I'll do to you
Just what you did to me

I'm gonna shoot it,
I'm gonna shoot it,
Cause I'm locked and loaded

I'm gonna shoot it,
I'm gonna shoot it,
Cause I'm locked and loaded

4. Night Fall

[Halford/Lachman/Chlasciak]

Your love is killing me, it draws me to the dark
Your veil of ecstacy, that leaves the telling mark
The spell you cast inside, is stabbing through my heart
It reaches deep within, it's pulling me apart

Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you're in control

Your love's still haunting me, it draws me into black
Your veil of fantasy, won't let my soul come back
The spell has taken all, I can't release my mind
I've lost my heart to you, you're too cruel to be kind.

Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you're in control
Night Fall, I called you and you came
Night Fall, I'll never be the same

5. 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
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.

6. The One You Love To Hate

[Halford/Dickinson/Roy 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 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.

7. Cyberworld

[Halford/Chlasciak/Roy Z]

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.

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've steal your mind.

Cyber World
Cyber World
For all mankind, yeah...

You're dying in my Cyber World
You're dying in my Cyber World

8. Slow Down

[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.

9. Twist

[Bob Halligan Jr.]

Got a grip like steel on wood
This is all for your own good
And If you wanna get away - wanna be free
Wanna get anywhere but right here beside me - you'll have to

Twist, twist, twist away from me
Twist, twist, twist - away

Twist, twist, twist away from me
Twist, twist, twist - away

Wonder why you try to run
Ought to quit admit I've won
No one is gonna hear your cry
Gonna hear you scream
Better get used to knowing it's just in your dreams - that you can

Twist, twist, twist away from me
Twist, twist, twist - away

Twist, twist, twist away from me
Twist, twist, twist - away

Never get away
Never twist away
Never get away

Wanna get anywhere but right here beside me - you'll have to

Twist, twist, twist away from me
Twist, twist, twist - away

Twist, twist, twist away from me
Twist, twist, twist - away

Never get away
Never twist away
Never get away

10. Temptation

[Halford/Lachman/Chlasciak/Roy Z]

I know what's going on inside your crooked mind
I've been around too long to know about your kind
I made you feel I was a victim of your prey
I let you tie me down though I can get away

Don't you lead me into temptation
Don't deceive me into temptation

You gave so much to me you left me feeling numb
So full of emptiness from stealing what you've done
How can you bear to stand the life you try to live
A sad and broken heart is all you've left to give

Don't you lead me into temptation
Don't deceive me into temptation

A slave to your touch
I can't run cause I'm blind

11. Drive

[Halford/Roy Z/Marlette]

I've got you under my wheels now baby
That's where you belong
I've got you under my wheels now baby
I'll drive you all night long

I've got you under my wheels now baby
There's nothing you can do
I've got you under my wheels now baby
My heart is coming through

You'll never go too far or go too fast
Let's rev it up and feel the engine blast

Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free

I've got you under my wheels now baby
You're moving way too fast
I've got you under my wheels now baby
We've got to make it last

You'll love it when you feel my engine roar
You'll love it when you feel the power soar

Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free

Let's crank it up and drive this heavy load
It's time to rock - Come on let's hit the road

Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free

(Keep driving all night long)

12. Savior

[Halford/Lachman/Roy 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

13. Sad Wings

[Halford/Chlasciak/Lachman]

[Bonus - Japan only]

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

14. Hell's Last Survivor

[Halford/Chlasciak]

[Bonus - Japan only]

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
