Stained Class

Stained Class - Halford

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

The core

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
