Racin' past the heavens Sailin' to the dawn Lookin'like a comet Slicin' to the morn Scorchin' the horizon Razin' thro' the land
Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation makes the man
Everything he touches Fries into a crisp Let him get close to you So you're in his grip Starts to smoke and smoulder Whisper up in sin Recognition hits you There in only an evil grin
Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to your knees And repent if you please
SOLO (Glenn)
Where is this man Where is he gone? Exciter falls For where he goes I've never seen him But you will tase the fire upon your turf
He's gonna make you step out Of the state that you are in Looks around and make you See the light again So let self-indulgence Result nine-shattered eyes Dominant complacency Leads to the guiding light
When he leaps amidst us With combusted dance Also getting ready From his perma-lance But to rising masses Melting need to work Only when it's all done Will his tale be done.
I move as fast as I can I like to get around I'm crazy like a madman My feet don't touch the ground I move amongst the night life And they just step aside Cause when they see me coming They know I'm running wild
Dead or alive there's nothing That bothers me at all I take on all comers They back off or they fall They raise their hands to stop me I laugh and I defy Cause what's the point in living Unless you're living wild
No chains can hold me down I always break away I never hear society Tell me what to do or say I taste the life that pleases me And raise a storm for all the world to see I never stumble, never fall Never stop for rest I rebell but I walk tall And I demand respect
I move amongst the nightlife And they just step aside Cause when they see me coming They know I'm running wild
I'm running wild I'm running wild Get outta my way I'm running wild I'm running wild You better believe it Wild...
Sinner rider, rides in with the storm The devil rides beside him The devil is his god, God help you mourn Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder Deafen every living thing about Can you, can you see it, can you See the mountains darken yonder Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
His steed of fury, Eyes of fire and mane ablaze Demonic vultures stalking Drawn by the smell of war and pain He roams the starways Searching for the carcasses of war But if it's hungry then its very presence Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils Won't you help them pray God of the Devils, God of the Devils Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
SOLO (Glenn/K.K.)
Thirty years now sleeping, so sound War raises its head, and looks slowly around The Sinner is near, sensing the fear And the beast will start movin' around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight
You're in for surprise You're in for a shock In London town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back I'll attack
I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "The Ripper" Or if you like "Jack The Knife"
SOLO (Glenn)
Any back alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down Just taking my love, and slip away Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me

Changes, changes, changes, changes Victim of changes
Mercenary batalions Are poised to strike us down Terminations conquest Upon us now full grown
Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide
Devastation hungers She waits to leap to earth Imminent liquidation Before the grand rebirth
Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide
Sin after sin I have endured Yet the wounds I bear are the wounds of love
Frantic mindless zombies Grab at fleeting time Lost in cold perplexion Waiting for the sign
Generations tremble Clinging face to face Helpless situation To end the perfect race
Flashing senseless sabers Cut us to the ground Eager for the life blood Of all who can be found
Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide
Slice to the left, slice to the right None to retaliate, none will fight Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives This race departs, no one will survive Heads to the feet, feet to the air Souls in the soil, heavy in despair End of all ends, body into dust To greet death friends, extinction is a must
Behold -- 'tis I, the commander Whose grip controls you all! Resist me not, surrender! I'll no compassion call.
Tyrant -- Capture of humanity Tyrant -- Conqueror of all Tyrant -- Hideous destructor Tyrant -- Every man shall fall
Your very lives are held within my fingers I snap them, and you cower down in fear You spineless things who belly down to slither To the end of the world you follow to be near.

SOLO (KK)
Mourn for us oppressed in fear. Chained and shackled, we are bound Freedom choked; in dread we live Since Tyrant was enthroned.
I listen not to sympathy Whilst ruler of this land. Withdraw your feeble aches and moans, Or suffer smite from this my hand!

Mourn for us oppressed in fear Chained and shackled we are bound Freedom choked in dread we live Since Tyrant was enthroned
My legions faithful unto death I'll summon to my court And, as you perish, each of you Shall scream as you are sought!

When the day is over, I like to ease my mind By jucin' up my system, With the beat of a heavy kind I smack a bottle open, I crank the hi-fi high I'm in-a seventh heaven Ooh I can touch the sky
I'm in love, so in love And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
It's got the movin' to me, just that I can't explain, It's like a brilliant sunshine, After standing in the pouring rain My skin begins to tingle, Ooh right on down my back. It's really got me fevered, Pounding my senses flat.
I'm in love, so in love And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
Rock - rock - rock forever (I love my) Rock - rock - rock forever (my fever) Rock - rock - rock forever (always gonna) Rock - rock - rock forever I can't stop talkin' about...rock... Now get it right, boys...
GUITAR SOLO (both)
So when you get those blue days, Here's just what to do Switch into this lifeline And feel it rushing through Before you know it, blue days Are better left behind By juicin' up your system With this beat of a heavy kind
I'm in love, so in love And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever Rock forever I'm gonna rock forever.

You better watch out and hold on tight We're heading your way like dynamite Delivering the goods Delivering the goods
