"Jawbreaker (Live)"

"Jawbreaker (Live)"


[Bonus Track - Live at The Sports Arena, Long Beach CA 1984]

Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil

Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
on the verge of snapping if it's caught

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering

Muscles are all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fiber on alert

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode -- Jawbreaker

"Jekyll And Hyde"

"Jekyll And Hyde"


[G. Tipton]

Your innocence all but fades
When we peel the veneer away
It's all an act which you stage
With your two-faced barricades

Rage consumes
You every night
Caged inside you
Trying to get out

Schizophrenic basic needs
Fools me into complacency
But now I see through your facade
Behind the mask a monster snarls

Hatred burning
In your chest
Dazed but learning
In your quest

Oh it's killing me your unpredictability
Oh all the time
You hide behind
Your Jekyll and Hyde

Now I realize
There's a dark side
Disguised

Always changing
Then love hating
Baiting me

Your innocence all but fades
When we peel the veneer away
It's all an act which you stage
With your two-faced barricades

Rage consumes you every night
Caged inside you trying to get out

Oh it's killing me your unpredictability
Oh all the time
You hide behind
Your Jekyll and Hyde

"Johnny B. Goode"
(originally by Chuck Berry)

"Johnny B. Goode"
(originally by Chuck Berry)



Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods amongst the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
That never ever learned to read and write so well
But he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell

Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old engineer sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by would stop and say
"Oh my but how that little country boy could play"

Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him some day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights, saying
Johnny B. Goode tonight

Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode

"Judas Rising"

"Judas Rising"



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

"Jugulator"

"Jugulator"


[Tipton/Downing]

Now let's see what you're made of
He is coming, you can't run
Violators that get caught
Will wish that they'd never been born

Exterminator
You are dead
Mutilate

Sharpened razor
Takes your head
Jugulator

Predit hater
You are trapped
Decimate

Desecrator
Your neck snapped
Jugulator

Jugulator he is near
Attracted by the stench of fear
Part demonic part machine
Hungry and it's time to feed

Iron claws and fangs of steel
Dripping from his tasty meal
Now it's time to jugulate
Feel your skull disintegrate

Jugulator killing time now
Reaches in and rips your spine out

Violator
Big mistake
Mutilate

Vindicator
Rib cage break

Flesh and bones
Are massacred

Jugulator
Desecrator
Jugulator

"Killing Machine"

"Killing Machine"


[Tipton]

I never give true answers, I never tell no lies
I never walk a straight line, so never get surprised
I don't ask no favors, so don't get abused
I learned to win when I was young
So I'm never ever gonna lose

They pay me the money and I do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract, on you

I never ask no questions, I never speak my mind
I always found that silence helps to keep me and my kind alive
I take care of business, It takes care of me
I look after myself and do it well
'cause somebody's always looking for me

They pay me the money and I do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

What manner of man am I?
A gun, lump sum and then I move on
What manner of man are you?
Stab a friend's back to jump a queue

I do what I do 'cos I can't do nothing better
You do what you do, just defendin' yourself

'cos you got nothin' better to do

I got no face, no name, I'm just a killing machine
I cut the population down, if you know what I mean
I never stop in one place, I move about the cities
Got expensive tastes, but I hasten to add that
I'm the best that there is

They pay me-uh the money and I do the job
I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

I got a contract on you
I got a contract on you

"Last Rose Of Summer"

"Last Rose Of Summer"


[Halford / Tipton]

Throughout the soft and timeless days of August
'Til now the shadows begin to grow much longer
The sunset's fire has deepened blood red
I give you this, the last rose of summer

A token of my unyielding love
So when the winter's mantle stills the earth
And all around the scene is dead and cold
This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living

Do not despair, mother nature simply rests
In sleep she has well earned
'Til one day not so very far from now
With the opening of the first rose buds I shall return

A token of my unyielding love
So that when winter's mettle steals the earth
And all around the scene is dead and cold
This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living

The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
In your long shadows
The last rose of summer
In the sunset
The last rose of summer
Take this rose that I give you
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
Don't worry about the winter
The last rose of summer
I shall return
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer

"Leather Rebel"

"Leather Rebel"


[Glenn Tipton, Rob Halford & K.K. Downing]

Hero of the night
Blood and thunder
Rushing through me
Till the dawn of light
The sky is turning red

Like a renegade
All alone I walk through fire
Till I crash and blaze
I'm living on the edge

Start a chain reaction
Sears the neon light
Stealing all the action
Always takes the fight

Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart

Master of the streets
Bullet proof and bound for glory
Cities at my feet
I'm turning on the power

Running wild and free
No-one dares to stand before me
That's my destiny
To rule the darkest hours

I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Stories will recall

"Living After Midnight"

"Living After Midnight"


[Halford/Tipton/Downing]

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded
I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded
I come alive in the neon light
That's when I make my moves right

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded
Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded
My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take
This motor's revved up, fit to break

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm aiming for ya
I'm gonna floor ya
My body's coming
All night long

The air's electric, sparkin' power, loaded, loaded
I'm getting hotter by the hour, loaded, loaded
I set my sights and then home in
The joint starts flying when I begin

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
