Freewheel Burning Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fast and furious we ride the universe
To carve a road for us that slices every curve in sight
We accelerate, no time to hesitate
This load will detonate whoever would contend its right
[Pre-Chorus]
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
[Chorus]
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
[Verse 2]
On we catapult, we're thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault, go headlong into any dare
We don't accept defeat, we never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat, obliteration's everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
[Chorus]
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
[Bridge]
Look before you leap has never been the way we keep, our road is free
Charging to the top and never give in, never stop, the way to be
Hold onto the lead with all your will and you'll concede, you'll find there's life
With victory on high
[Guitar Solo: Glenn Tipton]
[Bridge]
Look before you leap has never been the way we keep, our road is free
Charging to the top and never give in, never stop, the way to be
Hold on to the lead with all your will and you'll concede, you'll find there's life
With victory
With victory on high
[Chorus/Outro]
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning
Freewheel burning

[Lead: K.K. & Glenn]
[Verse 1: Halford]
Get a grip on the action
Movin' heaven and earth
You gotta get a reaction
Push for all that you're worth
[Pre-Chorus: Halford]
No denying we're going against the grain
So defiant that they'll never put us down
[Refrain: Halford]
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free
All your life
[Verse 2: Halford]
Tough as steel, stop at nothing
Look at fate in the face
Don't take no for an answer
Grab the lead in the race
[Pre-Chorus: Halford]
No denying we're going against the grain
So defiant that they'll never put us down
Spit it out...

Rock hard with a purpose
Got a mind that won't bend
Die hard resolution
That is true to the end
[Pre-Chorus 2: Halford]
No denying we're going against the grain
That's 'cos we're so defiant everybody scream it again...
[Refrain: Halford]
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night

All your life
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free
All your life
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free
All your life
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
The Sentinel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watching for a sign
His life is on the line
[Chorus]
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel
[Verse 2]
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins ringing out its toll
A storm begins to grow
[Chorus]
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel
[Verse 3]
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest in scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives
[Lead: Glenn]
[Lead: K.K.]
[Lead: Glenn]
[Lead: K.K.]
[Lead: Glenn]
[Lead: K.K.]
[Lead: K.K. & Glenn]
[Bridge]
Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown
[Chorus/Outro]
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the sentinel
Some Heads Are Gonna Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can look to the left and look to the right
But you will live in danger tonight
When the enemy comes, he will never be heard
He'll blow your mind and not say a word
[Pre-Chorus]
Blinding lights
Flashing colours
Sleepless nights
If the man with the power can't keep it under control
[Chorus]
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
[Verse 2]
The power-mad freaks who are ruling the earth
Will show how little they think you're worth
With animal lust they'll devour your life
And slice your world to bits like a knife
[Pre-Chorus]
One last day
Burning hell fire
You're blown away
If the man with the power can't keep it under control
[Chorus]
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
[Bridge]
Know what it's like
When you're taken for granted
There goes your life
It's so underhanded
[Leagd: Glenn]
[Lead: K.K.]
[Pre-Chorus]
If the man with the power can't keep it under control
[Chorus]
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
[Outro]
No, no
No, no
No, no
No
Some heads are gonna roll (No, no)
No, no
Some heads are gonna roll (No, no)
No
Some heads are gonna roll (No, no)
No, no
Night Comes Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the last rays of the setting sun
And the past days, that's where our memories run
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all of those times
Still race through my mind
I'm shattered inside to find
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's nowhere to go
[Verse 2]
Call me and I'll wait till the summer
You never understood
That I'll wait forever
For a love that's only good
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As the light starts to dim
The fear closes in
And the nightmares begin
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's no place to go
[Bridge]
Oh no, you won't be there tomorrow
Oh no, say it isn't true
I can't take this pain and sorrow
Oh, can't you see my heart is broken in two
[Lead: K.K. & Glenn]
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm shattered inside to find
[Chorus]
When the night comes down
And I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's no place to go
When the night comes down
And I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's no place to go
Heavy Duty Lyrics
[Verse]
I know you like it hot, I love to writhe and sweat
If you think that this feels good, you ain't felt nothing yet
Red-hot licks in the palm of my hand
Feel your body quake as we hit the promised land
I'm heavy duty
I'm heavy duty
We'll rise inside ya, till the power splits your head
We're going to rock ya till your metal hunger's fed
Let's all join forces, rule with the iron hand
And prove to all the world metal rules the land
We're heavy duty
We're heavy duty
We're heavy duty
So come on let's tell the world...
