Judas Priest - Beyond The Realms Of Death Lyrics






He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win.

How many like him,
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in

Beyond the realms of death

Judas Priest Beyond The Realms Of Death Comments
  1. A.... B....

    Soulful,melodic, thought provoking, yet still kick ass metal.proper band Judas priest, omg,they are so so good

  2. b.... ....

    The band was prosecuted in the 90's for this song, because you know people: it's a song that kills a person, not the person itself. And we call ourselves "an advanced civilization". :/

  3. I.... l....

    If you reverse the song in the part "The realms of death" than on Steve t part is "I........ Took my life."

  4. J.... B....

    Is Knowledge worth this bitter cost?

  5. L.... c....

    Vim pelo Régis Tadeu hahahaha

    L.... c....

    Vim pelo steve t.

  6. U.... S....

    STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIN BLANK INTO SPAAACEE

  7. J.... F....

    A very sobering song about life and death... Guess that's why it's not so popular.

  8. J.... L....

    That guitar solo took me into another dimension...

  9. M.... C....

    judas priest nr1

  10. h.... ....

    awesome priest..genocide has better guitar playin though

  11. J.... M....

    🤘😆🤘

  12. J.... O....

    amazing song! one of the best written rock songs not just by Priest..ever imo!

  13. T.... I....

    The greatest song ever written.

  14. G.... Y....

    I remember watching them in 1981 in Madison square garden and Iron Maiden opening for them

  15. S.... ....

    if you play beyond the realms of death in reverse it actually says i took my life

    S.... ....

    That's not true

    S.... ....

    @Dragon Slayer you are saying this only because of steve t.

  16. P.... C....

    I like believer deceiver better because halfords vocals are better in that. The guitar solos in his are awe inspiring.

  17. P.... ....

    Loved the part when he sas beyond the realms of death (6:37)

  18. M.... P....

    hard to find any flaws in the band and robs voice and front man skill is unmatched amazing band and if it was not for you tube I would not even know this song this the way guitar solos are supposed to sound Eddie Van Halen is the man but he did the music world a great injustice when every band abandoned this type soloing to mindless 200 per hour note shredding

  19. j.... s....

    I just can't understend whi this song isn't among the top 10 of best heavy metal songs, and best guitar solo of all times. Very underrated. I love It.
    I love Judas priest anyway

    j.... s....

    I agree

  20. R.... ....

    The ultimate of mordekaiser makes reference at this song.
    I'm brasilian

  22. �.... �....

    Como que, podrías defender el planeta con solo pararte ahí con tu magnetismo corporal después de haber escuchado ésta canción

  23. E.... ....

    I'm 48 and always been headbanger,I'm mezromized with robs vocals,guitars go together,totally funk legendary,live on ,

  24. m.... n....

    Congratulations to ENGLAND. There are Judas Priest, deep purple, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and many other bands. Here in Brazil we have Anita and Pablo Vitar. If you dont know, please dont look for It, that would erode your brain.

  25. E.... ....

    Influência pra Fade to Black descarada!

  26. D.... m....

    1979 Park Center Charlotte NC Judas Priest, UFO & Molly Hatchet...Man i miss the 70s!!!

  27. W.... E....

    Keep the world with all it's sin. Wow! Masterpiece!!

    W.... E....

    It's not fit for living in!

  28. T.... L....

    I hear a lot of Suite Madam Blue by Styx here. Great songs, both of them.

  29. J.... C....

    i live in west bromwich were the band formed and been a fan since the al atkins years saw them many times even in youth clubs imo dave holland is there best drummer maybe simon phillips is better but live dave was awesome

  30. �.... �....

    англичашки вы чо там все родственники) эксцесс это у вас норма?

  31. �.... �....

    одинаковы слица

  32. F.... G....

    MEO TEMON CTM

  33. T.... T....

    My personal theme song. It describes me to a T.

  34. P.... P....

    Play this song in my funeral

  35. B.... K....

    Got an anti depressant med advertisement before this

  36. M.... L....

    You are greatest

  37. t.... u....

    It's amazing how old metal bands can sound better than new metal bands

    t.... u....

    You have no idea.

  38. G.... I....

    I once did a few hits of a certain substance, lets say Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds....and man did this tune take me on a journey- like a Heavy Metal magazine Mobeus story!!

  39. P.... P....

    👍🏼🍺🎼🎸😱🇫🇷🇨🇭🌺

  40. M.... H....

    Masterpiece 💎

  41. S.... S....

    the solo is beyond the realm of death!!

    S.... S....

    That tone 🤯😍

    S.... S....

    @Arian Serrano absolutely !!

  42. K.... ....

    "Beyond the Realms of the 90's" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Modem talking, modern walking in the streets
    New desire!
    Take me higher, lift me higher with your speed
    I need fire!

    and etc XD

  43. h.... s....

    Damn man that solo.....Buckethead level stuff.

  44. S.... Y....

    They all looked like a bunch of camp hairdressers to me. Totally cartoon risible. The riff here is a rip off of Dave Gilmour's Comfortably Numb which he nicked fro Mick Ronson's Moonage Daydream.

    S.... Y....

    Spentmore Yearly bruh this song was released before Comfortably Numb. This came out in 1978 and Comfortably Numb was released in 1979

  45. M.... L....

    Love it

  46. M.... C....

    Long live Les Binks

  47. J.... G....

    I love it at 60 yrs old

  48. R.... K....

    Beats the shit out of so called music 2019.🤘🤘

  49. C.... C....

    Whoever says this is better than Comfortably Numb or Stairway to Heaven is underexposed to music in general. This is an absolutely fantastic song but I can’t agree that these guys are even close to the same league as someone like David Gilmour. Once again this is a great song but it’s just not on the same level. If you enjoy this song or this band I recommend you listen to Steve Vai. Probably my favorite guitarist after David Gilmour.

    C.... C....

    Glen and kk are better than gilmore..

  50. M.... C....

    This is fckin' beautiful!!!

  51. A.... m....

    Beatifull. Just beautifull.

  52. k.... ....

    KK's closing solo is short but BRUTAL..... just the way you want it!

  53. J.... L....

    One of the best Judas Priest songs of all time

  54. R.... K....

    HellYeah!!!The metal Gods!!!

  55. P.... T....

    I like that little noise on 1:41

  56. r.... ....

    Love this song, but it does remind me of Suite Madame Blue by Styx.

    r.... ....

    How so?

    r.... ....

    Thomas Stickney similar arpeggio intro. They are completely different I know, it just reminds me of SMB.

  57. D.... J....

    My first time hearing this, but songs like this is why we love rocknroll. And yeah, that is a great guitar solo

  58. G.... ....

    4:28 The best feedback in rock music!

  59. A.... M....

    3:09 is a good example... GT is a metal god!!!

  60. E.... S....

    No Doubt a song among the best of the best Ever...period! 3 weeks from right about now I'll be getting home from Portland, Oregon concert...Yeeeeeeeahhhhhhh.

    Yeah I will start again
    It can...

    ONE OF PRIEST'S GREATEST SONGS***( BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH)

    A.... -....

    Heavy song. Heavy lyrics.

  71. R.... B....

    best heavy metal song ever?

    R.... B....

    Es hermosa, probablemente la mejor balada de la historia del Metal

  72. A.... L....

    Mexicoooooooo preeeeeeseeeenteee!!!!!

  73. S.... j....

    Roll and joint .. put this on... and drift away.

    S.... j....

    Yeah baby🤗

    S.... j....

    Do come back .. it's easy to get lost along the way.

    S.... j....

    Have many, many times 🙂

  74. R.... S....

    Nothing like it, sorry, it's epic

  75. G.... S....

    It's so sad my brother and I aren't as close anymore but I thank him for introducing me to great music from bygone eras.

    G.... S....

    Gisselle S me and my brother drifted as well but. Metal always did and will keep us close. Much love

    G.... S....

    As long as you're both breathing it's never too late to reach out and get in touch again my friend

  76. B.... T....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 try this great video I found to this song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUIsL2QHDXs 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

  77. E.... F....

    Maconha + essa musica = viagem ao centro da mente

    E.... F....

    Sai doido, fiz proerd

  78. C.... M....

    Always was and still a beautiful song since the first time I listened to it during my teenage years and during my 20's.

  79. L.... P....

    I was a teen in the 80's & this was part of our dirt bike's & stranger things......

  80. B.... S....

    Oh man that guitar solo is unknown. But it’s my heart until the day I die.

  81. S.... M....

    get it all out

  82. D.... &....

    Beggining of the song it’s like "Suite Madame Blue" of Styx

  83. T.... W....

    I see 63 thumbs down people that have absolutely no idea

  84. I.... F....

    Just relistened to this album for the first time in well over 30 years. It got me quite emotional, especially the guitar solo which I would class as the best ever.

  85. C.... B....

    In this song you see the inspiration for songs like In My Darkest Hour, Fade To Black, and Spill The Blood.

    C.... B....

    I'd say more "Welcome Home... Sanitarium" instead of "Fade to Black"... For the structure of the song and even for the lyrics, I find those two songs very comparable.

    C.... B....

    Unforgiven

    C.... B....

    Return to Serenity by Testament

  86. B.... R....

    See the beauty of looking death in the eyes and here you are.

  87. P.... A....

    Fantastic song. Really grows on you. The hair stands at the back of my neck at 2.14. Amazing!

  88. T.... �....

    Ben yıllarca Iron Maiden dinledim ama Iron Maiden'ın tüm şarkılarını bile bu kadar aşkla dinlememişimdir, lise yıllarımda...

  89. K.... K....

    My Ears couldn't hold back any longer and ejaculated all over everything!!

  90. T.... P....

    Brilliant solo and song, love from India 🇮🇳

    T.... P....

    @Akshat Khare 🤘*

    T.... P....

    @Akshat Khare Hoping for the same bro. It sucks to not have any friends that are metalheads. Like, oof.

    T.... P....

    🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

    T.... P....

    I'm 15, an Indian, and a big metalhead. Surely, they are the Gods!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

    T.... P....

    Y'all guys should make some online community so you can get together in person too \m/

  91. K.... C....

    53 dislikes by fucking popheads

    now it’s 120 wtf

  92. j.... ....

    Have you ever heard this song on the radio?

    j.... ....

    @hereticpariah 6/66 me neither.

    And then they say that bohemian rhapsody was too long for the radio. It turns out that it was somewhat true.

  93. S.... L....

    Best metal guitar solo, classic, meaningful, melodic. Never gets old.
    My opinion.!

  94. N.... K....

    I strongly agree with Mr Metalhorse, best Judas Priest solo. Best band ever.
