Halford - Stained Class lyrics
rate meWild eyed and tight fisted<br />
I'm fused to the bone<br />
I stand contemplating<br />
Reacting alone<br />
<br />
Impaled with betrayal<br />
The tourniquet turns<br />
Society's creation<br />
Pole axed out and burnt<br />
<br />
Long ago when man was king<br />
His heart was clean<br />
Now he's stained glass<br />
<br />
Time has slashed<br />
Each untouched thing<br />
So now he's just<br />
A stained glass king<br />
<br />
Transfixed at deliverance<br />
Is this all there is?<br />
Faithless continuum<br />
Into the Abyss<br />
<br />
Fierce is my conviction<br />
Absolute my belief<br />
I spit at you apathy<br />
And seducer deceit<br />
<br />
Long ago when man was king<br />
His heart was clean<br />
Now he's stained glass<br />
<br />
Time has slashed<br />
Each untouched thing<br />
So now he's just<br />
A stained glass king<br />
<br />
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn<br />
And quartered he slaughtered and faltered<br />
And altered the world<br />
<br />
But by doing so smashed<br />
All his hopes and Utopian dreams<br />
Whipping, stripping peeling the flesh off<br />
Relentless and senseless<br />
<br />
His lust snapped like vipers<br />
Whose fangs sank in deep<br />
To infest and decay from the core<br />
<br />
Impaled with betrayal<br />
The tourniquet turns<br />
Society's creation<br />
Pole axed out and burnt<br />
<br />
Long ago when man was king<br />
His heart was clean<br />
Now he's stained glass<br />
<br />
Time has slashed<br />
Each untouched thing<br />
So now he's just<br />
A stained glass king<br />
<br />
Stained glass king
