Judas Priest - Firepower Lyrics






Firepower

With weapons drawn we claim the future
And then seep out through every storm
Bring in the foe to be defeated
To pulverize from dusk to dawn

Firepower
Petrifies
Firepower

The die is cast, make no exceptions
We're forged by evil to compel
Come rally 'round this flag of freedom
Our unions rise so go to hell

Firepower
Taking lives
Firepower
Neutralize

Empty the chamber
Lock and reload
This world thrives on danger
It's bound to explode

Aim for the target
With laser and lights
Releasing the trigger
Puts victory in sight
No time to pray or ask forgiveness
Those blessed souls are now deceased
There is no sense in this contrition
With open arms we fight for peace

We fight this firepower
Petrifies
Firepower
Between the eyes
Firepower
Mortifies
Firepower
Man's demise

Lightning Strike

I'll bring you the head of the demon
I'm peeling the skin from his face
The life that you lead is inhuman
Its cause and effects a disgrace

You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from hell
Your prayers and your demons are tolling the bell

Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
Waiting for lightning to strike
Man on a wire, bearing the brand
Waiting for lightning to strike
Lightning to strike

Twisted dreams that are formed from illusion
The collusion of fear and torment
Decimating to stem this contusion
With a power-mad freaking intent

You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from hell
Your prayers and your demons lie dead where they fell

Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
Waiting for lightning to strike
Man on a wire, bearing the brand
Waiting for lightning to strike
Lightning to strike

I'll spin the world around reeling
I have to when mankind's at stake
I might be left broken and bleeding
For it's all in the fight that we make

You're sowing the seeds of a nightmare from hell
Your prayers and your demons are tolling the bell

Walking through fire, fate's in my hands
Waiting for lightning to strike
Man on a wire, bearing the brand
Waiting for lightning to strike
Lightning to strike

Lightning will strike

Evil Never Dies

The devil's moved from Georgia
His mission's still the same
The world's become his oyster once again
If you don't think you're worthy
And you don't meet the cause
He knows what's going on behind closed doors

Beware there's voodoo in the nights
Evil never dies
Evil never dies

A master of deception
Who takes you by the hand
Then leads you to the palace of the damned
He pulls the strings inside you
And plays upon your fears
Your final scream is music to his ears

Beware there's voodoo in the nights
Evil never dies
Evil never dies

I'm caught up in this voodoo
Trying to break free
I feel I'm being smothered
Trapped by this entity
Blackened clouds surround me
Filling me with dread
I can't escape the horror
With the devil in my head

He relishes the suffering
Can't stand this heart attack
My life's been taken hostage
And it's never coming back

Beware there's voodoo in the nights
The devil's got you in his sight
Evil never dies
Evil never dies
Evil never dies
Evil never dies

Never The Heroes

Like a cobra they will strike
And like lions caged we'll fight
We were taken not by choice
They put anger in our voice

We were fearless but so afraid
Though in our hearts we still felt pain
We're on fire but on a leash
We only ever wanted peace

Never the heroes, we were made to fight
Never the heroes, we were just sacrificed at war

Like a demon leads the youth
We are terrible in truth
No time to falter, no turning back
When we come under attack

There is no question as with a friend
We have our honor to defend
We're on fire but on a leash
We only ever wanted peace

Never the heroes, we were made to fight
Never the heroes, we were just sacrificed at war
At war

We are together till the end
We have our honour to defend

Never the heroes, we were made to fight
Never the heroes, we were just sacrificed
Never the heroes (We were never the heroes)
We were made to fight (We were made to fight)
Never the heroes, we were sacrificed at war

Necromancer

Born out of hell from the depths of Gomorrah
Purging new graves and defiling the souls
He satiates with such vile and dark horror
Omens of dread on this night of the ghouls

Raising the dead up from the ground
Needs must be fed, sorcerers abound

Necromancer
Death's his guiding lights
Necromancer
Stealing afterlife

Feeding on flesh from the soil that was hallowed
Splintered the bones and regaled in his feast
Danced on the grave of the pure and the righteous
As the moonlight's expelled from the eyes of the beast

Raising the dead, blasphemy reigns
Portents of dread thrives on remains

Necromancer
Feeding from the host
Necromancer
Black unholy ghost
Necromancer
Death's his guiding lights
Necromancer
Stealing afterlife

Raising the dead, cadaver consumed
Sacraments said, bodies exhumed

Necromancer
Feeding from the host
Necromancer
Black unholy ghost
Necromancer
Death's his guiding lights
Necromancer
Stealing afterlife

Stealing afterlife
Death's his guiding lights

Children of the Sun

Sunsets on the nations
Worlds in her disguise
Pray for all that matters
Saviour in my eyes

Children of the sun
Dying one by one

Eden has been wasted
Deadly poison fills the air
Kneel down in forgiveness
While there's still time if you care

Children of the sun
Dying one by one
Children of the sun
Dying one by one

I couldn't dream
To be without her kind
They wouldn't let her be
Or heal what she defiled

You are the hate that beats mankind
Torturous lies that lead the blind
Squandered the truth from all we said
You are the reason I feel dead

Mountains start to crumble
Tumble in the sea

Children of the sun
Dying one by one
Children of the sun
Dying one by one

Children of the sun
Dying one by one
Children of the sun
Dying one by one

[Instrumental]

Copyright: Lyrics © Original Writer and Publisher




Rising From Ruins

Drawn from years of self denying
Lost in chaos before the storm
Our strength goes on prepared for mortal battle
We can saddle our old scores

Look to the skies and challenge all of heaven
Resist the devil, dare to dream
By grace of god within our hearts eternal
For our salvation is for everyone

We're standing as one
We're carrying on
Rising from ruins
We're bringing the lights
Out from the nights
Rising from ruins

We'll face our foes so they can hear our voices
The land rejoices in empathy
This trial by fire will build from their attrition
It's ammunition for our enemies

We're standing as one
We're carrying on
Rising from ruins
We're bringing the lights
Out from the nights
Rising from ruins

Send in the valiant, fight for what you believe
Then we shall overcome, lay victory at our feet

We're standing as one
We're carrying on
Rising from ruins
We bring the lights
Out from the nights
Rising from ruins

We're standing as one
We're carrying on
Rising from ruins
We're bringing the lights
Out from the nights
Rising from ruins

Flame Thrower

Look to the sky and face the sun
You better try to race against the gun
There's nothing left for you to prove
You get a chance then now's the time to move

Nothing to rival
This heavy load
Pray for survival
End of the road

You're on the run from the stun of the flame thrower
Sealing your fate, incinerate by the flame thrower

No remedy so be afraid
It's cutting deep just like the razor blade
No escape, you're in a spell
Don't you believe you stand a chance in hell

Rays of redemption
Fall from the sky
Into the maelstrom
Blink of an eye

You're on the run from the stun of the flame thrower
Sealing your fate, annihilate by the flame thrower

Immolate the bodies
No one will be saved
Consecrate with fire
Ashes fill the grave

Look to the sky and face the sun
You better try to race against the gun
There's no escape, you're in a spell
Don't you believe you stand a chance in hell

Nothing to rival
This heavy load
Pray for survival
End of the road

You're on the run from the stun of the flame thrower
Sealing your fate, terminate by the flame thrower

Flame thrower
Flame thrower
Flame thrower

Spectre

In a league of his own
A villain with no morals
Above the law and reckless
Mutating day by day
Invisible in silence
Conspiring to get power
This man will stop at nothing
To always get his way

Like a thief in the night
With the blade held tight
Trapped inside the mind
Of the spectre

When you're mind in a vice
He twists and turns with terror
Keeps building up the pressure
Until you're feeling numb

Like a thief in the night
With the blade held tight
Trapped inside the mind
Of the spectre

Trapped inside the mind
Of the spectre

The spectre creeps behind you
Shrouded by his stealth
Ignore him at your peril
He kills to heal himself

In the blink of an eye
He marks you with precision
Corrupting all he touches
Salvation in your soul
Scourging you in silence
As he makes his incision
The venom's taking over
This tyrant takes his toll

Like a thief in the night
With the blade held tight
Trapped inside the mind
Of the spectre

You'll be frozen in fright
Like the glint of his knife
Trapped inside the mind
Of the spectre

Traitors Gate

The river shows no mercy,
The tower looms into my view,
I sense my execution's closing
With darkness all around me
The axe is ground to end my days
The raven's cry proclaims repentance

(chorus)

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitor's gate
Into the storm
I'm gonna win
Killer of sin
Saved by the traitor's gate

A man betrayed for treason
I only wanted what was right
To bring a purpose by rebellion
The storm is soon arriving
And rain will wash away my blood
This walk of death will bring survival

(Chorus)

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitors gate
Ready to die
Carry the day
Buried alive
Tear down the traitor's gate

Forgive me for my sins
I meant no harm to you
So let the axe man fall
To justify what I began

Where will you be tomorrow
Now they've removed this mortal coil
I hope and pray I bring you freedom
For our God and country
This world could be a better place
As I ascend from my confession

(Chorus)

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitor's gate
River of blood
Turning the tide
Cause of the flood
Destroying the traitor's gate

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving my mark
Free from the traitor's gate
Losing my head
Blood on the axe
Alive when I'm dead
Escape from the traitor's gate

No Surrender

You know that life isn't set
I lead the pack I ain't no pretender
You give as good as you get
We live and die 'cause there's no surrender

Chasing a dream as I go higher
Playing it mean, my heart's on fire
Living my life, ain't no pretender
Ready to fight with no surrender

You know the way that I feel
If you're with me you better hold on tighter
I'm only keeping it real
That's who I am, I'm just a non-stop fighter

Chasing a dream as I go higher
Playing it mean, my heart's on fire
Living my life, ain't no pretender
Ready to fight with no surrender

Run out of road
The end of the days
Not for the weak
Only the brave

Chasing a dream as I go higher
Playing it mean, my heart's on fire
Living my life, ain't no pretender
Ready to fight with no surrender

I'm chasing a dream as I go higher
I'm playing it mean, my heart's on fire
I'm living my life, ain't no pretender
Ready to fight with no surrender

Lone Wolf

Hey, I am the voice of your anger
Hey, I am the voice of your pain
Hey, I crave the feeling of danger
Hey, I am the one with no name

Out in the wilderness
Out in the cold
Out in the wilderness
Lone wolf's calling

Out in the wild, all on my own
Leading me out of the cold
Out in the wild, all on my own
But leading me out of the cold

They don't know the way that I'm feeling
They don't know the depth of the rage
I'm like the wolf that is prowling
Hey, I won't be found in a cage

Out in the wilderness
Out in the cold
Out in the wilderness
Lone wolf's calling

Out in the wild, all on my own
Leading me out of the cold
Out in the wild, all on my own
But leading me out of the cold

Lone wolf walks beside me
He feels no fear or pain

Out in the wild, all on my own
Leading me out of the cold
Out in the wild, all on my own
But leading me out of the cold

Lone wolf walks beside me
He feels no fear or pain
Lone wolf is there to guide me
From death to life again

Sea of Red

Now look and listen as you walk around
And you'll hear voices on the wind
Those lonely whispers from this hallowed ground
Just take your time as they begin

As the sun goes down
The silence is profound
For they gave so much
So we might go on and live
Laying peaceful they forgive

In the sea of red
There are stories to be told
As the years go by
All the memories unfold
Bow your head

In fields of wonder where those swallows soar
Our hearts are weary as we pray
The grass is greener from the tears that fall
For you on this remembrance day

Your message has been heard
Words of wisdom have been shared
Their despair won't matter as they rise above
There is no end to love

In the sea of red
There are stories to be told
As the years go by
All the memories unfold
Bow your head
Sea of red

From this earth take wing (from this earth take wing)
Shine down from the sky (shine down from the sky)
We see you as you fly (we see you as you fly)

In the sea of red
There are stories to be told
As the years go by
All the memories unfold
Bow your head
Sea of red

On the sea of red
Where the glory has no end
There's a place for us
As our lives begin again
Bow your head
Sea of red
