Judas Rising (4:12)

(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

White bolt 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 sin
Echoes the prophecy
Ascending from hell
Forever despising

Judas is Rising

(Solo)

Their faith is revealed

Deceivers are crying
 By crucified steel
Evangelising

Judas is Rising x2

Deal with the devil (3:54)

(Tipton/Halford/Downing/Ramirez)

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's 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
Banging 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 the whole world it had no choice

Gotta deal with the devil

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

(Unofficial lyrics since not in the booklet)

 And Late at night
You're in our site
Where we can feel what we've been waiting for
Let me hear you roar

On this stage, let it rage

For a time we leave the world behind
To be with our own kind

Gotta deal with the devil

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

Gotta deal with the devil

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

Deal
Done a deal with the devil

Revolution (4:42)
(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

If you think it's over better think again

There'll be no compromise
Turning up the power feel adrenaline
Move into overdrive

Here comes the revolution

Time for retribution

If you think I'd back down or accept defeat

Brace for the aftershock
Driven to the limit take it to the streets
Give it everything you've got

Here comes the revolution

Time for retribution

Time to come together

Revolution
Living on forever
Revolution
 Get ready for the evolution

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

Worth Fighting For (4:18)

(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

You said I could never find

A way to ease your mind
That where I'd go you'd 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 rollin' 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've paid

So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for Yeah !

Night road leads me to a town of ghosts

Beckoned by the glow of kerosene and tumbleweed
They're calling out (They're calling out)
Forevermore (Forevermore)
Worth fighting for

I'm leaning in the wind

Head bowed down from what I saw
My shadow for a friend
still some things are worth fighting for

So I moving on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for Yeah !

Worth Fighting For!

Demonizer (4:37)
(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

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
Prepare to onslaught
And bare face to face

Across the divide

The thresholds in flames
The painkiller rises again

The scream of the demon

There's evil about
They've come to posses us
Out demons out
 Blade of the wheel
Cuts deep in the bone
It's Gideons quest
To take Satan's throne
The critical mass
And power that they wield
Exterminates all
When vermin rebel

A Maelstrom begins
To disintegrate
And pulverise all in it's wake
The scream of the demon
There's evil about
They come to posses us
Out demons out

The scream of the demon

There's evil about
They've come to posess us
Out demons out

Demonizer
Out out out demons out
Demonizer
Out out out demons out
Demonizer
Out out out demons out
Demonizer
Out out out demons out

Demons out !

Wheels of Fire (3:46)

(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

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
Wheels of fire
Let 'em roll

Too fast to give a damn

Stand my ground
No one or anything
To tie me down

Born on the other side

Wild as a hurricane
Living in overdrive

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

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

Angel (4:24)
(Tipton/Halford/Downing)
 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 chased 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

Angel we'll meet once more, I'll pray

When all my sins are washed away
Hold me inside your wings and stay
Angel take me far away

Put sad wings around me now

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

Hellrider (6:23)
(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

Here they come

These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed
 Speed of Death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vapourizing 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 grow

Time to ram it down

Judgement for the tyrant

Hellrider
Roars throug the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

Fight undying and eternal

Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honour bound your strength 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
Their 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

Eulogy (2:52)
(Tipton/Halford/Downing)

And so now it comes to pass

By the eventide on 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

Lochness (13:29)
(Tipton/Halford/Downing)
 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
In passion in the skirl

This highlands lair of mystery

Retains a lost world empathy
Resiliant to discovery
On and on and on

Lochness confess
Your terror of the deep
Lochness distress
Malingers what you keep
Loch Ness protects monstrosity
Loch Ness confess to me

This legend lives through centuries 2x

Evoking history's memories 2x
Prevailing in eternity 2x
Your secret lies safe with me2 x

This creature's peril from decease

Implores to mankind for release
 A legacy to rest in peace
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
