1. Hell Bent For Leather
Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadowCrimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
2. Ripper (live)
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock, ahh
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack
I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like "Jack the knife"
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper
3. Exciter (live)
Racing 'cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing through the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and smolder
Blister up in singe
When ignition hits you
The very soul of your being will cringe
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man
Where is he from
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him but you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Look around and make you
See the light again
So much self indulgance
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man
Where is he from
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him but you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing through the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
4. Hot Rockin'
I've done my share of workin' out.
I wanna go some place, where I can scream and shout.
Show me the lights, where I can find
The only thing I need to give me peace of mind!
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'
Where is the spark that kicks the air?
Where is the energy that charges everywhere?
I see the crowd, I hear the roar!
I feel my body to leave the ground and soar!
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'!
I'm goin' out in search of the bright lights.
Somehow I feel that tonight is the right night!
I'm almost there, I've got the vibration.
It's coming strong from this generation.
My blood is hot, from now on I'm set free!
My pulse is hot, so don't try to stop me!
Cuz this is it, and I'm Hot Rockin'!
Don't let it stop, don't let it end,
Please let it carry on and on and on again.
I get so high. Knocked off my feet, yeah!
This is the only way I want, I want, I want
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'!
It's all I want, it's all I crave
I just do want to go Hot Rockin'!
5. Sinner
Sinner rider, rides on with the storm
The Devil rides beside him
The Devil is his God, God help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it do you
Hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
His steed of fury, eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the starways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then it's very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping
So sound
War raises it's head
And looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will stop moving
Around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner!
