Judas Priest lyrics
Album: Ram It Down [1988]
| Ram It Down | |
|
Raise the sights, the city lights are calling
We³re hot tonight, the time is right, there's nitro in the air
In the street is where we'll meet, we're warning
On the beat, we won't retreat, beware
Thousands of cars and a million guitars
Screaming with power in the air
We've found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down
Straight through the heart of this town
Ram it down, ram it down
Razing the place to the ground
Ram it down
Bodies revvin³ in leather heaven in wonder
Lights are dimmin³ and heads are swimmin³ as thunder
hits the stage
Hell breaks loose, turn on the juice get stronger
We metal maniacs begin to rave
Thousands of cars and a million guitars
Screaming with power in the air
We³ve found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down
Straight through the heart of this town
Ram it down, ram it down
Razing the place to the ground
Ram it down
Shout it out, we³re all together now
Shout it out, we join as one, one
Thousands of cars and a million guitars
Screaming with power in the air
We³ve found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down
Straight through the heart of this town
Ram it down, ram it down
Razing the place to the ground
Ram it down

| Heavy Metal | |
|
When the power chords come crashing down
go tearing through my sense
It³s for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimension
It stimulates, regenerates
It³s therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
and blasts us through the ceiling
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Ten thousands lights come
blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision
An armour plated raging beast
That³s born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want

| Love Zone | |
|
Been awake all night, can³t get no sleep
I need a steel blue heart walkin³ down the street
With your razor nails, and your painted smile
You³re gonna get richer, I gotta get wild
Any time you want to
Any way you need
Get your love for money there, satisfaction guaranteed
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
I³m behind the wheel, throttle open wide
The gas tanks full do you want to ride
Drivin³ in the fast lane at night
I can³t keep my eyes off your red tail light
You know where we³re goin³
I know where where are
Set the rear view mirror for
the backseat or the car
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
In your leather and chrome you³re all the rage
All you want to do is get backstage
You heard all the stories, are they true
The rock ³n³ roll circus is calling you
When you get there baby
You³ll be hypnotised
Never seen nothin³ like it no,
You won³t believe your eyes
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
Everybody get in
Everybody get in that love zone

| Come And Get It | |
|
Do you like it heavy
Do you love it mean
Do you want it dirty
We don³t play it clean
Standing in the spotlight
Ceiling the the floor
I can see you rockin³
Let me hear you roar
Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound
Any day. Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it
Can you feel the power
Blinded by the light
Keep on goin³ crazy
Burnin³ up the night
Shouting out together
Boiling like the sun
Metal lives forever
Blazing on and on
Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound
Any day. Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it
Do you like it heavy
Do you love it loud
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it

| Hard As Iron | |
|
Whipcrack, stings the sky
Don³t mess with me I³m danger
The meanest one alive
Earthquake, breaks the Richter scale
The more that you resist
The more the pain you³ll feel
I³m blazing on to glory
There³s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I³ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
Untouched, cold as ice
I³ll turn your blood to water
Strangle in my vice
Shock waves, bones to dust
You³re messin³ with a mine field,
so expect the worst
I³m blazing on to glory
There³s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I³ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
As I destroy, last thing you³ll hear me cry, is victory, is
victory
I³m blazing on to glory
There³s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I³ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel

| Blood Red Skies | |
|
As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I³ve heard it said, that I³ll not see tomorrow
If that³s my destiny, it³ll have to be
So I³ll face the future
Running out of time
I³m on the line
But I³ll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic hearbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I³m telling you
You won³t break me
You won³t make me
You won³t take me,
Under blood red skies
You won³t break me
You won³t take me
I³ll fight you under
blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They³re closing in
They³ll never win
You won³t break me
You won³t make me
You won³t take me,
Under blood red skies
You won³t break me
You won³t take me
I³ll fight you under
blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won³t give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand. I will fight
You³ll never take me alive
I³ll stand my ground
I won³t go down
You won³t break me
You won³t make me
You won³t take me,
Under blood red skies
You won³t break me
You won³t take me
I³ll fight you under
blood red skies
You³ll never take me alive
I³m telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
As the sun goes down
I won³t give in to fear

| I³M A Rocker | |
|
The greatest times, I³ve ever known
They³re locked inside o³ me
and carved out of stone
I³ve broken hearts
Made people sing
I³ve drove a million miles
I³ve done everything
I³m a rocker. Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I³m a rocker. Oh oh
And no one can take that way
Bring on the night
That³s when I live
I come alive inside
Give all I can give
I live each day
Like it³s my last
I love for rock and roll
I never look back
I³m a rocker. Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I³m a rocker. Oh oh
And no one can take that away
I³m a rocker
And I³m always revvin³ up
I³m a rocker
I can never get enough
I³m a rocker
It³s something in my blood
I³m a rocker
Wouldn³t change it even if I could
I³m a rocker. Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I³m a rocker. Oh oh
And no one can take that away

| Johhny B. Goode | |
|
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods amongst the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
That never ever learned to read and write so well
But he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell
Go go. Go Johhny go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old engineer sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by would stop an say
³Oh my but how that little country boy could pay-
Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Maybe some day your name will be in lights, saying
Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go go. Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode

| Love You To Death | |
|
You get me up, then we both get down
We roll all night makin³ heavy sounds
I³m all tied up on your bed
I³d rather be inside your head
Don³t do this, do it like that oh yeah
You³ve hit the spot, give it all you got
I don³t care
I³ll teach you a lesson
That you won³t forget
Why don³t you save your breath
'Cause I³m gonna love ya³ to death
I³m comin³ to the point, I can³t hold back
Then you ease off with your attack
You³re the best I³ve had if you please
You never stop, you great big tease
Don³t do this, do it like that oh yeah
You³ve hit the spot, give it all you got
I don³t care
I'll teach you a lesson
That you won³t forget
Why don³t you save your breath
'Cause I³m gonna love ya³ to death
You can take me places, I thought I'd never go
And when you turn your love on me
Baby you³re the star of the show
You can take me places, I thought I'd never go
And when you turn your love on me
Baby you³re the star of the show
I'll teach you a lesson
That you won't forget
Why don't you save your breath
'Cause I'm gonna love ya' to death

| Monsters Of Rock | |
|
It started many years ago, out of the black country
The seed became the embryo, for all on earth to see
Like stealth the word spread mouth to mouth, all corners
of the land
And soon the thing began to grow, and get right out of hand
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
It grew and grew in time, into a
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
Took the sound across the seas, the people stood in awe
At last the sound had come to them
That they³d been waiting for
And millions roared, and millions cheered,
This spectacle on stage
And everyone went crazy as it bellowed out in rage
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
I grew and grew in time, into a
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
It grew and grew in time, into a
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster. Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
