Judas Priest - Hell Bent For Leather Lyrics






[Tipton]

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 shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, 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

    Oooh it's a killing machine

    As someone who doesn't speak english as a first language help me out with the meaning of the song:
    Is it: "Hell-bent for leather" as in "crazy about that leather"

    Or "Hell *bent* for leather" as in "hell has now submitedd to leather"

    J.... N....

    The first one

  8. M.... ....

    Have to admit, I love priest, but I've never heard this album, this song only once in my life.. 2020, gonna do more JP!!!

  9. O.... S....

    When this man Rob Halford came out publicly that he was gay so many people got the Judas Priest tattoo removed from their skin. That makes me disgusting yet left just because the men chooses to have sex with men instead of women that changes the whole landscape of rock and roll that was Judas Priest? Ridiculous the man still has a rock icon in this band has been rocking for over what 40 years. And they have changed rock and roll in many ways came out publicly that he was gay so many people got the Judas Priest had to remove from their skin. That makes me disgusting yet laugh just because the man chooses to have sex with men instead of women that changes the whole landscape of rock and roll that was Judas Priest? Ridiculous the men still was a rock icon and this band has been rocking for over what 40 years. And they have changed rock and roll in many different ways yet the man wants to stick his penis into another man's body that makes him an outcast? And it makes him less rock and roll? I don't understand? Liv and fucking let live life is way too short for hate and anger greetings from the best city in the world Buffalo New York by the way of Krabi Town Thailand

    O.... S....

    First of all the Sabres suck! LOL 2nd Rob Halford gay or not will always be THEE best metal front man period!

  10. M.... D....

    Rob Halford is the METAL GOD . That is all he should be known for.

  11. H.... S....

    I was looking to buy a new leather jacket and this song kept playing in my head

  12. D.... ....

  14. J.... B....

    It is 1985, you never had a motorcycle before. You strap on a 700cc V twin and take it to the highway. Seek him and he will appear. It was hell bent for leather.

  15. J.... V....

    What's with some of the videos? Some have lots of little kids in them

  16. A.... S....

    Why is it so short?!

  17. R.... B....

    The hell bent record was ahead of its time I think.

  18. H.... B....

    Ive got my candles. My bubbles...and my nice relaxing Judas priest music.

  19. C.... M....

    people who gets bothered by someone who is gay is probably closet gay themselves and they dont even know it.

  20. J.... B....

    Hell Bent!

  21. D.... J....

    Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong door. Leather club's two blocks down.

  38. J.... M....

    Listen to the greatest biker song ever. It's "The BPM's Jeff Morris Official Video." You'll love it.

  39. V.... D....

    The best heavy metal band all time

  40. M.... G....

    The local morning newscaster wears a leather dress sometimes. I think she is just being sexy, but my wife says it is an example of the walk of shame in which a woman puts out late at night while partying and can't get properly dressed in time. Which 1 is it? I will ask and provide an answer. Maybe she is just a Judas Priest fan.

  41. A.... m....

    That 70s show

  42. R.... P....

    This song is so awesome! Judas Priest ROCKS!

  43. D.... ....

    A.... B....

    We live it too, buddy. That solo is soooo leathal

  52. T.... W....

    I cant help but think that somehow.....someway....im getting into BDSM tonight....and the rest will be a blur

  53. J.... S....

    This song is too short. How dare Priest do that to me. I want refunds!

  54. J.... B....

    People who claimed to be fans then turned heel on Rob Halford for being honest about himself are pieces of shit who have things to hide far worse than being gay. Its nobodys business anyway, really but he shared that part of himself with bravery those cowards will never have knowing that there would be jokes and shit talk from people who would have defended him to the death for anything BUT his orientation and for that he has my respect as one of the greats just as much as he does for making this music. Im not gay but I am sure as hell not a homophobe or a bigot enough to trash a hero of mine because he doesnt share my interest in women. Homophobes are just pissed because they cant get laid.

  55. T.... R....

    Love judas priest there an awesome band I still respect them even tho rob halford is gay so many dont understand that the reason he didn't admit till later on was bc when he was in the band at the start it would of been frowned upon

  56. C.... D....

    Priest is so fucking cool...something alot are missing today....style

  57. U.... P....

    For the longest time I thought he said “ Hell bent forever “.

  58. S.... W....

    Judas Priest beste Heavy Metal Band aller Zeiten👍👍👍👍👍

  59. J.... G....

    Ill never forget the first time I heard this song in Jr High. It was all priest all the time for a while, it is again now too. Ha!

  60. S.... A....

    Is Rob halford would say: hell-bent hell-bent for penis

  61. b.... ....

    Brad from the delray misfits sent me

  62. M.... W....

    All those n the music industry thank god for tha Rob😈🤘🖕and for those who don't like it well you know I got to say it anyway go fuck yourself

  63. #.... G....

    Rob Halford THE king of metal..

  64. M.... G....

    The local morning newscaster wore a leather dress today. Reminded me of this song. She looked hot too.

  65. T.... W....

    If JP just did Hell bent for leather and Point of entry,  they would of been considered one of the best bands,  but add the other albums??  holy shit they are over the top!!  Love em

  66. f.... ....

    FANTASTIC BAND & FANTASTIC SONG, could listen to judas priest till my ears melted, at FULL BLAST................................!!!!!!!!

  67. p.... ....

    Halford IS the Metal God. Period.

  68. D.... S....

    🤘Metal for ever

  69. d.... ....

    This is metal. I don’t hear blues, jazz, rock or anything but metal in its purest form

  70. E.... S....

    im happy that he's gay because all the homophobe pieces of shit can't enjoy his music, rob halford is the fucking king

  71. J.... L....

    Ball and chain, similitud razor

  72. N.... ....

    Sorry for the question caused by my imperfect knowledge of english language, does "hell bent for leather" mean "he likes leather very much"?

    N.... ....

    It’s an idiom/expression, basically means to really want something (leather in this case)

  73. R.... Q....

    This is now my theme song with my leather jacket.

  74. D.... S....

    Guitar Hero Metallica

  75. P.... ....

    An incredible testament to the power of dynamics in electric guitar. Tipton was a master of it, before metal became 110% dynamics 100% of the time. Listen to how the guitar pulses in the main riff esp. during the verses but also in the prechorus. Do check this song out from live in new york in 91 where they opened the gig with it with Travis playing the drum parts, including the double kick, hehe. Perfect song for his style, a powerhouse.

  76. C.... ....

    Thanks for putting the greatest rock groups album out for us to hear. Awesome!

  77. T.... ....

    Rob Halford is and will always be the metal god

  78. T.... P....

    This song is gay plus he is gay so it makes it worst

  79. T.... H....

    Judas priest hell bent for leather is a very good song

  80. C.... L....

    96 people are tone deaf and are probably not metal heads or rockers but watched some video game to come here... lol

  81. D.... S....
