Halford – Stained Class lyrics

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 glass Time has slashed Each untouched thing So now he's just A stained glass 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 glass Time has slashed Each untouched thing So now he's just A stained glass 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 glass Time has slashed Each untouched thing So now he's just A stained glass king Stained glass king Explain Request ×
