[Halford/Tipton]



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.



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



Stained class king
