Judas Priest - Stained Class lyrics
[Judas Priest - Stained Class lyrics]
Wild-eyed and tight-fisted
I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating, reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class king
Transfixed at deliverance
Is this all there is
Faithless continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class king
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
He slaughtered and faltered and
Altered the world
But by doing so smashed all
His hopes and Utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off
Relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose
Fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class king
Stained class king
I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating, reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class king
Transfixed at deliverance
Is this all there is
Faithless continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class king
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
He slaughtered and faltered and
Altered the world
But by doing so smashed all
His hopes and Utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off
Relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose
Fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing
So now he's just a stained class king
Stained class king
