Painkiller Lyrics

[Drum Intro]

[Verse 1]
Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He's half man and half machine
Rides the Metal Monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high

[Refrain]
He
Is
The Painkiller
This
Is
The Painkiller

[Verse 2]
Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas
Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts of steel
Evils going under deadly wheels

[Refrain]
He
Is
The Painkiller
This
Is
The Painkiller

[Bridge]
Faster than a laser bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium-plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns

[Lead: Tipton]

[Verse 3]
Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They've been brought back from the grave
With mankind resurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies

[Refrain + Chorus]
He
Is
The Painkiller
This
Is
The Painkiller

Wings
Of
Steel
Painkiller
Deadly
Wheels
Painkiller

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Refrain]
He
Is
The Painkiller
This
Is
The Painkiller

He
Is
The Painkiller
This
Is
The Painkiller

[Post-Chorus]
Pain
Pain
Killer
Killer
Pain
Pain
Killer
Killer

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Can't
Stop
The Painkiller
Pain

What did Judas Priest say about "Painkiller"?

I think it’s a wonderful statement. It embodies what metal is – it’s everything a full-on screamy metal track should have. Everybody is going a million miles an hour on it, and yet the melody still comes across. That statement that ‘He is the Painkiller’ – you get 30,000 metalheads chanting it at a...
