Judas Priest - Stained Class Lyrics
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
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched 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
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 untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Stained class king

I like this goddamn song!!!
I was thinking of Margot Kidder during the intro, that's what she reminded me of at the time. That was in 2000.
If u dont like this, call me and I'll meet u anywhere, and beat ur ass to a pulp...✊👊✊😟
One of my favorites from JP next to Sad Wings
imagine if this had painkillers production
Stained Class is THE greatest heavy metal album I have ever listened to PERIOD!!! Beyond the Realms of Death, Saints in Hell, Heroes End, Exciter, and the title track. This album is a masterpiece and will stand the test of time.
I believe so. I feel like I get kicked in the behind every time I listen to the album. It can't get any better.
So, now we know where Iron Maiden nicked the galloping groove.
Just here to let you know that if you were a victim of catholic church priests, our law offices are here to help you.
Priest rules !
Such a Phucing great album......
No one like them
Best lyrics of judas priest, hands down.
I haven’t listened to this for decades. Hearing it again, I get echoes of Queen that I never noticed before. Great song
I can hear Queen throughout the whole record. Great stuff!
First band I ever saw live! Second was Black Sabbath with Van Halen as supporting group - damn those were the days!
ahead of its time.....
3:17 heavy metal as we know it
один из их лучших альбомов
Impaled with betrayal (Crashing on Hyksos) The tourniquet turns (Mount passing God fear) Society's creation (Tip of his finger) Pole-axed out and burnt (They're spying his throne)
Thank you for the correct lyrics. Much much appreciated
@jason Frost , you are so...very...much...and...definitely...welcome!!!
!!! SOLO !!! - 3:29 - 3.55 !!! SOLO !!! ... and INTRO 0:00 - 0.20, FILL 1:26 - 1.42, FILL 2:34 - 2.48...
I was 10 years old listening to Priest my mom hated it...my favorite album here.🙌
Les Binks ! Drums sound good cranked up with a couple of hundred watts through the ol' Acoustic Monitors !
Judas Priest Academia do Heavy Metal !!
Tipton at his best.....you know they probably had to punch him in for this lightning fast intro. If KK whines anymore, they should let him back in the band and let him start this song off live. Yeah right .
(BeeTee Halford-part (ii))… (1978) ROB HALFORD escaping as ‘STAINED CLASS’ from the ‘Saints in Hell’ while singing it would be ‘Better by You, Better than Me’ ‘Beyond the Realms of Death’, as a ‘Savage’ who was a ‘White Heat, Red Hot’ ‘Exciter’ after ‘Burnin' Up’ ‘Running Wild’ ‘Delivering the Goods’ ‘Before the Dawn’, as a ‘HELL BENT FOR LEATHER’ ‘KILLING MACHINE’ ready to ‘Rock Forever’ and ‘Take on the World’ when seeing the ‘Evening Star’, and being ‘UNLEASHED IN THE EAST’ after the ‘Starbreaker’ offered Peter Green’s ‘Green Manalishi with the Two Pronged Crown’ and Joan Baez’s ‘Diamonds and Rust’ to catch ‘The Ripper’ who was a ‘Sinner’, a ‘Tyrant’ and a ‘Victim of Changes’, following a mass ‘Genocide’ witnessed by ROB HALFORD... (1979)...
OOOOH FRIIIIIIIICK IM ORGASMING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOyour gay ;)
Awesome title track and LP...loved the Les Binks records. (This one, Hell Bent For Leather, [KILLING MACHINE] and the Live record...fantastic stuff
👍👍
Rob halford is National Meral hero in this gloomy world..He is real action hero.
40 years later....still great.
bad ass ....been a fan for 30 years now.
Will you marry me? Hehe
Appears to be about the human condition - about the fall of man! The sceptical view of civilisation being corrupting because it results from the darker impulses of mankind are quite Augustinian. This theme is there throughout Stained Class - and the concluding verse of Beyond the Realms of Death confirm it - "They lie in thousands, lank and lost. Is knowledge worth this bitter cost?"
Definitely a politically involved album. Truly an album that's fantastic front to back. I only wish that they had kept Binks and continued down the path of his era. Btw he still plays. Vids are on YouTube
so incredible.
JUDAS PRIEST ....RULES
I stil get goosebumps jammin to this! A must crank it up loud
LEEEEEETS GOOOOOOO YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAyour are is gey
HELLLL YEEAAAAAAHHHHH
this song has negative and harmful subliminal messages
i hope it convinces you to many evil deeds
So does Nicki Minaj I'm sure
Makson Fuck outta here, poser.
STFU you fucking poser
Awesome
lol ..funny enough it's called Stained Class
steve harris gets an idea ?
What a beast of a chorus
I'll never forget the first time I heard this track. I bought the album back in late 1980 as I recall. Practically popped a vein in my forehead while air-guitaring to it furiously in my college apartment. The Priest at their pinnacle of invention and intensity!
Guitars are astonishing here
Lol now I know where blind guardian got their sound from with majesty
Not a million miles away from how Queen sounded at the time.
Priest > Queen
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!!!
killer lyrics..all the way through.
Brilliant
This song is Fucking majestic!
Great lyricist
I SPIT AT YOU, APATHY, AND SEDUCER DECEIT
Do it do it do it
the whole thrash scene and other bands like Mercyful Fate wouldn't have existed without Judas Priest, it's clear when we hear songs like this!
@Lt. Drebin rock and rolla 1974 sad wings of destiny 1976 I think it was those two
@Lt. Drebin you know the song victim of change the Judas that was on sad wings of destiny that's awesome song
@King Diamond God I agree and they have so many. Judas Priest was just on another level during their time.
You got that right cheers
@King Diamond God judas was first
Can't think of many riffs better than that intro.
A Touch of Evil has the two best riffs in all of Metal IMHO. \m/ \m/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW-6FKFnHx8 The riff at 2 : 40 is amazing, and mixes perfectly with the opening.
The Helion/Electric Eye
David Richfield Ew the official video
two teens committed suicide and the mom tryed to sue. where do they say do it in this great metal classic
Kaitlyn Rude That was better by you better than me
mommy just don't like metal, so mommy play the blame game.
Kaitlyn Rude wrong song
Kaitlyn Rude , it was better by you better than me. They didn't even write it lal
Wrong Class. It's Better By You, Better Than Me.
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 untouched 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 untouched 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 untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Stained class king
What the fuck happened to Rob's ability write lyrics? He used to write some killer songs, but since Point of Entry he's been just going back to the same old book of comic-book cliches and ham-fisted rhymes.
That’s rock poetry man 👍 and ....the music ; well that’s beyond definition !
One of my all time albums ever - it don’t get any better than this 😜
Satyros Phil Brucato this is why I prefer their 70s songs. Tbf there are some decent 80s lyrics too - mostly the ballads
Thank you for the lyrics!!
Fav priest song!
Mine too
I hear rhyme of the ancient mariner, funny
Stained Class came out in 78, Powerslave came out in 84.
Now that you mention it...
Herman Helmich how
Galloping guitars- Maiden seem to have took this template and not really diverged
@imperatorvult Oh snap! Happy learned how to putt.
I owned all there casettes at least twice. Then cds, the riffs man I could never get enough.
