''Nostradamus; vindication
Nostradamus; is avenged
Nostradamus; our salvation
Nostradamus; he's avenged''
Epic Metal (heavy metal and rock opera)
This song, this rhytm, acoustic. it's hard to repeat (only PRIEST)
This is one of the greatest that I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!

The lyrics exude philosophy:
Epitaph ~ JudasPriest
The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
Every now and then he'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again
With trembling hands, he wipes a tear
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly now lets go
But spare a thought as you pass him by
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday
A lonely grave, and soon forgot
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
For anyone who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
And you...and you...and you...

good call on " heroes end " a very under appreciated Priest classic !!
along with " white heat , red hot ", "invader", "saints in hell", "savage" and " better by you better than me"
aw hell, the whole stained class album never got the respect it deserves |

the one i like the most is the one of course you got another thing coming
pure & strong & heavymetal music back in 1982 you did not want to mess
with the kind of metalmusic , back then especially when it was judas priest
singing it . and when they did it in my hometown it was electiametal that memphis,
would never be the same again. the british invashion of heavymetal style is going
stronger then today judaspriest is the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raw Deal- This song is about gay rights. "The true free expression I demand is human rights- right!" Also the story seems to be about a gay man being beat up in a bar for being gay.
Exciter- This seems to be sort of like a "salvation through sin" kindof thing. Exciter is the savior, and he is coming to deliver us to evil.
Stained Class- A song about the corruption of power, plainly, and some of the most beautiful lyrics ever by The Priest.
Jugulator- In my humble theory, Jugulator is the monstrous beast that The Painkiller was saving people from.
Demonizer- A fight between the Hellion and the Painkiller.
Also, it seems that the image of a savior is used alot, and I think the characters are continuous. Starbreaker is Exciter is the Sentinel is the Painkiller, just at different stages of their herodom. They are all the "Angel of Retribution," the fallen being on the "Sad Wings" cover. Judas Priest's albums have been telling the story of this savior since 1976. This, to me, is one of the main symbolic and continuous elements of Judas Priest's music. The image of a savior that you get from these songs. And they are the Priest that preaches salvation to the heavy metal masses. This is just my take on things. |

Judas Priest lyrics are like Calgon--Take me away !!!---no other band I listen to can make me forget all my troubles like The Priest can--they are Defenders Of The Faith but they are also Healers Of My Soul-- |

I love these lyrics. They relate to most everyone everyday
how we take for granted things until they are gone:
I heard a human voice who sang like no one else
I heard a proud lady singing loud
Lived her life as she liked, didn't give a damn
But soon she found she was underground and wasted
I watched her hitting notes as she strutted stage
Her body shook oh, she did her stuff
She screamed and quake, give and take, maybe took too much
If you take the smooth you gotta take the rough
Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid
I heard a man's guitar electrify a crowd
I felt the sound shower 'round
And he would take you with him where no music's been before
As you merged the power surge together
His music knew no limits if you were in it's wake
You had no choice, no, but hear its voice
And you would listen hypnotised, and in a dream
But once so strong survive or become weak
Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid
If you gaze across timeless years you'll find them always there
And many gods will join the list compiled with dying care
Hungry mouths are waiting to bite the hand that feeds
And so the living dead carry on immortal deeds
I saw on silver screen an actor's rise to fame
But fast car user lose
That legend's born from death and that is such a shame
'cos every year new ones appear
Why do you have to die to be a hero
It's a shame a legend begins at its end
Why do you have to die if you're a hero
When there's still so many things to say unsaid. |
