Painkiller Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh-oh, yeah!
[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
[Chorus]
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
Evil's going under deadly wheels
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[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
[Chorus]
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly wheels Painkiller
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly wheels Painkiller
[Post-Chorus]
Pain! Pain! Killer! Killer!
Pain! Pain! Killer! Killer!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Can't stop the painkiller!
Pain!
