He is very talented with words, he has this amazing ability to convey feeling and emotion through the lyrics. I always have felt that the earlier JP stuff was lyrically superior to the later 80's works.. Turbo and RID did not do Halford, nor the band any justice.. I have realised through Halford's solo stuff he has got alot of talent. I love the opening lines to Betrayal.... That whole album is smokin'!! I really feel that he should do more stuff with the Halford band. "Will you go to heaven, Will you land in hell
Are the things you're praying for - the things that serve you well?"[Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by scorpion01 from Friday, December 12, 2008 10:58:55 AM)

I STILL GET CHILLS WHEN I LISTEN TO THE SONG WRATH OF GOD. I REMEMBER WALING OVER THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE ON 9/11, DUST IN MY FACE FROM THE COLLAPSED TOWERS NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE.
HALFORDS IMAGERY IN HIS LYRICS IS EXCELLENT.

OH HELL YEAH!!! I listened to Crucible for the first time last week..... man, this is certainly something else. I hope Halford releases more stuff.... Incredible . No-one else makes music the way he and that band does. Trail Of Tears - Halford.
Such desperation
Left you in shame
This bitter harvest
Bearing all the blame
Man will never end your suffering
Stealing all your years
God is with you but won't save you
From your Trail of Tears
From this oblivion
Seek dignity
Just human cargo
Crying to be free
Man will never end your suffering
Stealing all your years
God is with you but won't save you
Change it
Gonna change it - change it
Greed of man has pushed you over
Feeding on the fears
Poverty will always prosper
On your Trail of Tears
Man will never end your suffering
Stealing all your years
God is with you but won't save you
From your Trail of Tears

The cause of my affliction
Can never be resolved
A case for self infliction
Whose sin can't be dissolved
Lost in a room of mirrors
There's only one way out
But suicide is easy
When all you have is doubt
Idolize the demigods
The weapon of stigmata
Drowning in the grail of blood
The weapon of stigmata
Each day becomes fragmented
It's harder to connect
My world seems so demented
I see nothing to respect
But strength is born from weakness
And this is where I fall
I step up to the enemy
Then rise from where I crawl
Idolize the demigods
The weapon of stigmata
Drowning in the grail of blood
The weapon of stigmata
The weapon of stigmata
Behind my back
In my face
Walking stalking
In my space
Think I'm closed up
But I know, I mark all
Watch where you go
Bide my time
Make you stop
Watch your mouth
Until you drop
Make me sick
I can wait
When you stumble
Seal your fate
Empty threats
Fucked up lies
Take you down
With alibis
Useless strength
Wastes on me
Crush you down
Dead enemy
Idolize the demigods
The weapon of stigmata
Drowning in the grail of blood
The weapon of stigmata
Penance from the rancid icon
Virgin weeping plasma
Idolize the demigods
The weapon of stigmata
Weapon of stigmata
Idolize the demigods
The weapon of stigmata
Weapon of stigmata
The weapon of stigmata
