02. Electric Eye Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you. My lasers trace Everything you do. You think you've 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 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. Electric eye, in the sky Feel my stare, always there 's nothing you can do about it. Develop and expose I feed upon your every thought And so my power grows. Protected. Detective. Electric eye. 03. Riding On The Wind Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light. Glowin' god of Mars Body burning bright. Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind. Tearing up through life Million miles an hour Blinding all in sight Surging rush of power. Thunderbolt from hell Shattering aloud. Screamin' demons yell Bursting through the clouds. 04. Bloodstone Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
I've been trying
There's no denying. It's sending me Out of my mind. I've seen reason Change to treason. It's losing its sense Of all kind. How much longer will it take For the world to see. We should learn to live And simply let it be. Bloodstone, bloodstone. In the night time Wake in fright. I'm so scared of the game That's being played. Start to wonder What's going under And how many deals Have been made Bloodstone. I can't take it. You got me living On a bloodstone I don't want that bloodstone. 05. (Take These) Chains Music & lyrics by Bob Halligan, Jr.
I move away it don't do me no good
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would. Help me, I'm beggin' you please. You've got the power down on my knees Give me some kind of life. Leave me be. Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Reach out to me, as if from the grave I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave. It's my fault for loving you so You were so precious, how could I know. You turned mean overnight Poor poor me. I don't owe you anything Why don't you get out of my life. Through it all the memories cling And I can't sleep at night. 06. Pain And Pleasure Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
I wanna tell ya, hey I think you oughta know
The way you're treating me, I feel I'll have to go. I've heard the rumours and it seems they're comin' true do what suits ya, but then that's nothin' new. Do what you wanna do Oh what you put me through. How I suffer for your love. Say what you wanna say You know that you're gonna pay For all the times that I've cried. You give me pain, but you bring me pleasure Get out of my life. You bring me pain, but you give me pleasure You don't know what I like. You've got me tied up, dog upon a leash Instead of messin' 'round, practice what you preach. Your days are numbered, my day's arrived The way I see it, we're dead or we're alive 07. Screaming For Vengeance Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Hey listen don't you let them get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right. They're playing at a game that draws you closer Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear. Always takin' baby out that's o.k. What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me. Told you one you're never gonna win the race Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face. We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place. Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace. Tie a blindfold all around your head Spin you 'round in the torture before the dread. And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner Then they lead you out into the final slaughter. As the sweat is runnin' down your neck All your praying for's to stop your body breakin' up. Oh your heart is pumpin' gonna soon explode Got to fight the horror of this mental load. So you wait it out and bide your time Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line. Everyone who wins in the great escape Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake. I don't talk about it but that's alright Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight. If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate. 08. You've Got Another Thing Comin' Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight said I'll never get enough. Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud I'm on top as long as the music's loud. If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die. Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had If you think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another think comin'. That's right here's where the talkin' ends Well listen this night there'll be some action spent. Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks. If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again. Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had If you think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another think comin'. In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow. Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah Act tough ain't room for second best. Real strong got me some security Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah. 09. Fever Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
I'd spend my days alone
I used to stay at home Lost in seclusion there. Like I was in a cell A captured heart as well Surrounded by despair. Darkness filled my soul Losing all control. Down on the streets below Bright city lights would glow. The energy would rise And through the heat I'd gaze Still counting empty days. With fire in my eyes Living through this hell Can I break the spell. Fever. You set my soul on fire. Fever. You fill me with desire. Fever. You always get it right. Fever. All day and all night. Then one night as I walked I heard your body talk I saw a shooting star In some magnetic trance Our beating hearts would dance And crash down from afar. Oh how strange fate is Never dreamed of this. So destiny has brought us Oh so close together We were like angels in the night Living the dream At last I'll be with you forever. And all at once it feels so right. 10. Devil's Child Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Hypnotize me
Mesmerize me Feel my willpower slip. Light my fire With cold desire Losing all my grip. Eat my diamonds Drinkin' all my gin Feast your eyes on A whole lotta sin. On no you're so damned wicked You got me by the throat Oh no got your claws stuck in my You never let me go I believe you're the devil I believe you're the devil's child. Took my dreams And now it seems you're nothing but a liar Smash and grab at all I had Build my funeral pyre. Stop pretendin' Got me growin' old Your tormentin's Fit to snap my soul. You took my heart And left it blown to smithereens. I gave my body as a slave You cut my flesh And drank my blood that poured in streams I'm left here broken and ashamed. Goin' under Hear the thunder Death defying grace. Your condition breeds ammunition Shoots me in the face. Vivious talkin' Stabs me like a knife Scratched and bruised, so abused I'm a human sacrifice. 11. Prisoner Of Your Eyes
When I saw your face
I became a prisoner of your eyes And I would do just anything To stay and be with you. You know there are times When I let myself wonder As I was going under You Pulled me back to earth Don't you hear me crying Take me in your arms again Tell me that you're trying Or is our love a lie Love is blind And love deceives you You came along and captured me Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes Trapped in time I cannot leave you I'm just a prisoner of your eyes As each day goes by I've given up completely I've locked myself inside your heart And thrown away the key Only time will tell If I can live without you Can you live without you Can you see into the future Will you ever set me free Don't you hear me crying Take me into your arms again Tell me that you're trying Or is our love a lie Love is blind And love deceives you You came along and captured me Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes Trapped in time I cannot leave you I'm just a prisoner of your eyes In this heartache We can try and start again Stop the heartbreak A little time will help to kill the pain. |
