White bolts of lightning
Came out of nowhere
Blinded the darkness
Creating the storm

War in the heavens
Vengeance ignited
torment and tempest
attacks like a swarm
Forged out of flame from chaos to destiny
Bringer of pain forever undying

Judas is Rising

Eternal betrayer
ice cold and evil
Taking no prisoners
dark prince of the world (?)

Humanity trembles
enslaving you sinners (?)
You can't beg for mercy
For none will be saved

The burden of shame (?)
Echos the prophecy
Ascending from Hell
Forever despising

Judas is Rising

Apprentice revealed (?)
Deceivers are crying (?)
My crucified steel
Evangelizing

Judas is Rising
Judas is Rising

. . .


Forged in the black country
Under blood red skies
We all had our dream to realise

Driving in that transit
Down to Holy Joe's
Used to lose our head
While metal flowed

Nothing held us back or dared to try
Something in our blood
Won't let us die

We built our world of metal
Watched it grow
Fuelled the fury solid to the bone

Gotta deal with the devil
'Cause you know that it's real
Done a deal with the devil
From a heart made of steel

Rollin' down the m-way
Took it to the smoke
Bangin' heads there
'Til we all went broke

When we don the leather
And the whips and chains
Nothing matters more
We can't be tamed

Fighting through the din and accolades
Turn the phase around with razor blades

Watched the movement grow
Into one voice
Took on all the world
It had no choice

. . .


If you think it's over, better think again
There'll be no compromise
Time to hit the power, feel adrenaline
Move into overdrive

Here comes the revolution
Time for retribution

If you think I'll back down or accept defeat
Brace for the aftershock
Take it to the limits, take it to the streets
Give it everything you've got

Time to come together
Revolution
Living on forever
Revolution

Get ready for the revolution

It's a revolution
It's a retribution

Something's in the air
Time to change, it's time to change

You better watch out tonight
You better watch out for the revolution

Bring it down, bring it down

. . .


You said i could never find a way to ease your mind
but where i go, you wind up in the dust
i tried so hard to have you reach another side of me
instead you went to nowhere and forgot

so i wander on asking where you might have gone
from what i knew before, some things are worth fighting for

desert heat can wear you down
but still i'm rolling through
did i see your figure in the haze?
i am driven by a thirst to quench myself of love
the sun beats on me for the price i pay

so i wander on asking where you might have gone
from what i knew before, some things are worth fighting for

Night road leads me to a town because
i'm beckoned by the glow of kerosine and tumbleweed
They're calling out, forevermore worth fighting for

i'm leaning in the wind
head bowed down from what i saw
my shadow for a friend
so somethings are worth fighting for
so i'm moving on, asking where you might have gone
from what i knew before, some things are worth fighting for - yeah

. . .


Born of the sun
Crashed to the earth
Tormented reviled
Engorged hate from birth

Hellions the steed
Blood's on the wing
Claws set to slice
Vengeance he'll bring

Cremating the land
In seek and destroy
Apocalypse slays
Napalm he'll deploy

The beast of a god
Regaled of his race
Prepared to onslaught
And bare face to face

Across the divide
The thresholds in flame
The Painkiller rises again

The scream of the demon
There's evil about
They've come to possess us
Out demons out!

Blade of the wheel
Cuts deep in the bone
It's gideon's quest
To take Satan's throne

The critical mass
And power that they wield
Exterminate all when vermin rebel

A maelstrom begins to disintegrate
And pulverise all in its wake

. . .


Born on the other side
of the track
Gotta get outta here
I won't look back

Born on the other side
Wild as a hurricane
Living in overdrive

Wheels of fire
In my soul
Wheels of fire
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels of fire
Let 'em roll

Too fast to give a damn
Stand my ground
No one or anything
can tie me down

Born on the other side
Wild as a hurricane
Living in overdrive

Wheels of fire
In my soul
Wheels of fire
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels of fire
Let 'em roll

Ride to live
Live to ride
Wheels of fire
Forever

Born on the other side
Wild as a hurricane
Living in overdrive
Wheels of fire
In my soul
Wheels of fire
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels of fire
Let 'em roll

Wheels of fire
Wheels of fire
Wheels of fire
Wheels of fire

. . .


Angel - put sad wings around me now
Protect me from this world of sin
So that we can rise again

Oh angel - we can find our way somehow
Escaping from the world we're in
To a place where we began

And I know we'll find
A better place and peace of mind
Just tell me that it's all you want - for you and me
Angel won't you set me free

Angel remember how we'd chase the sun
Then reaching for the stars at night
As our lives had just begun

When I close my eyes I hear your velvet wings and cry
I'm waiting here with open arms - oh can't you see
Angel shine your light on me

Oh angel will we meet once more - I'll pay
When all my sins are washed away
Hold me inside your wings and stay
Oh! Angel take me away

Put sad wings around me now
Angel take me far away
Put sad wings around me now
So that we can rise again

. . .


Here they come
These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed

Speed of death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vaporizing glares

Raised to man oppressed
Sign of persecution

Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

All incensed to overthrow
Strong defence
With armaments they grow
By this quest
Their fates renowned
Put to rest
Abominations crown

Time to ram it down
Judgement for the tyrant

Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

Fight undying and eternal
Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honour bound in strenght repleted
To no end they're undefeated

Hellrider, hellrider
You fought their battle for them

Hellrider, hellrider
You brought them through their despair

Hellrider, hellrider
Your tempered steel relinquished

Hellrider, hellrider
You slaught them all extinguished

Wrath of doom
In killing fields
They consume
For valiants never yield

Triumph to the gods
Vanquished of enslavers

Hellrider
Breaking their will
Hellrider
In for the kill

Hellrider, hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider, hellrider
You brought them through it all
Hellrider

. . .


And so now it comes to pass
by the even tide of mass
see them gather yet alas
they remain still as stained class

for they know only too well
that the story they will tell
conjures up an ageless spell
guarded by the sentinel

so it goes forever more
ever steady to the core
that the sign they came for
waves majestic from the floor

. . .


Grey mist drifts upon the water
The mirrored surface moves
Awakened of this presence
Dispelling legends proof

A beastly head of onyx
With eyes set coals of fire
It's leathered hide
Glides glistening
Ascends the heathered briar

This legend lives through centuries
Evoking history's memories
Prevailing in eternities on and on and on

Lochness confess your terror of the deep
Lochness distress malingers what you keep
Lochness protects monstrosity
Lochness confess to me

Somehow it heeds the piper
From battlements that call
From side to side it ponders
Impassioned in the skirl

This highland lair of mystery
Retains a lost world's empathy
Resiliant to discovery on and on and on

This legend lives through centuries
Evoking history's memories
Prevailing in eternity
Your secret lies safe with me

This creature's peril from decease
Implores to mankind for release
A legacy to rest in peace and on and on and on
