Rob Halford Stained Class
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 un-touched 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 un-touched 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 un-touched thing
So now he's just
A stained class king
Stained class king
