Riot - Messiah Lyrics






Birthed when lightning struck the sky
Offspring of a sacred line
His arrival marks the battle
Soldiers by his side

Earthly kings hide in fear
They know the end is near

Messiah, messiah
Save us from the flames

His coming was long foretold
Inthe ancient texts of old
He will free us from the darkness
Bring us into light

No more sorrow or pain
He's come to break the chains

Messiah, messiah
Save us from the flames

No more sorrow or pain
He's come to break the chains

Messiah, messiah
Save us from the scorching flames

Riot Messiah Comments
  1. Z.... B....

    Is this a Christian metal album?

    Z.... B....

    just a Power Metal song who talks about Christian like theme

  2. W.... E....

    Base riff reminds me a lot about a game called Metal Head. Not a bad thing at all, it has good power metal.

  3. J.... G....

    Thundersteel!!!!!! Sorry I mean Messiah!!!!!!!!

  4. A.... G....

    riot rocks! since the 70s and still going!

  5. D.... M....

    alucinant!! sembla fight and fall... pur i 100% thundersteel

  6. �.... �....

    and if during the 80's they had satanic image or covers with skulls e.t.c., they would have been more successfull.But for those who know of real music they will be always great and one of the tops

    �.... �....

    ΘΟΔΩΡΗΣ ΓΙΑΝΝΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ like having an album cover of a baby seal head on a bulky warrior body wasn’t brutal enough back then

  7. �.... �....

    check out all Riot discography. a great band in metal history

  8. C.... D....

    I thought Nuclear blast isn't a Christian label

  9. d.... i....

    Tior looking buff these days.

  10. R.... r....

    Thundersteel 2.0

  11. S.... ....

    One of the best guitar solos I've ever heard.

    S.... ....

    Haha. Mike Flyntz learned a lot from Mark Reale. Listen to the Thundersteel and Privilege of Power albums and hear Mark Reale play.

  12. V.... L....

    The most trash metal song of this band I guess.

  13. E.... A....

    Love it! \m/

  14. R.... H....

    Glorious!!!!!

  15. C.... F....

    Heavy Metal for the end of days.

  16. M.... S....

    Thundersteel part 2?

  17. E.... T....

    Metal RIOT V HEAD 😎

  18. S.... E....

    You can sing a song about god without being a Christian band. You can also be Christian without being a Christian band...you know....like most bands....considering the majority of earth is christian...

  19. l.... r....

    Increíble álbum para quienes amamos el heavy metal por decadas. Es cómo volver a la vieja escuela. Power al máximo a la vena. Excelente. Ojalá pronto vengan a Chile

  20. R.... K....

    Drummer is machine!

  21. E.... B....

    Riot está com divida com o brasil😡

  22. r.... s....

    I did not know cow barn*

  23. R.... T....

    the album art is my favorite thing

  24. J.... N....

    They created a tribute song for 'Thundersteel'-song

  25. L.... T....

    All JUST will survive .

  26. F.... N....

    Feels like i´ve heard this a lot of times - nothing special...

    F.... N....

    Engraçado é tu falar isso de uma banda que literalmente foi um dos maiores precursores desse tipo de som. O Riot é o original, logo, quando tu diz que ouviu isso um monte de vezes (em outras bandas) significa que vc ouviu as cópias, não o original. Riot é uma banda de 1977...desde o debut a banda faz esse tipo de som, cara. Embora antes tivesse uma pegada mais Hard Rock ...mas, veja bem, essa tua frase é absurda...pq tu dá a entender que o Riot faz som genérico, quando na verdade o Riot é que foi uma das bandas que inventou esse tipo de som.

    F.... N....

    The Loner verdade cara, depois fui saber q essa banda é das antigas, uma banda cult... Foi uma afirmação infeliz. Pela gravação mais atual me pareceu uma banda nova rsrs. Mas o meu intuito foi dizer q hj em dia temos milhares de bandas que soam umas iguais as outras, tudo muito homogêneo! E a nuclear blast, apesar de ser uma gravadora foda, lança monte dessas bandas - xerox do xerox saca??

  27. T.... A....

    Powerful ! \m/

  28. S.... ....

    If 'Thundersteel' and 'Angel Eyes' had a baby....

  29. F.... ....

    Amazing new song! Riot rulez \m/ \m/

  30. M.... F....

    WOW AMAZING SONG!!

  31. P.... T....

    Este disco está brutal, apunta a ser mejor q el anterior (que ya de por si era una moustrosidad excelente). Quizá incluso supere al de Judas Priest!!!

    P.... T....

    Ainda acho o Immortal Soul um pouco melhor. Mas o novo álbum é o melhor do ano, superando o novo do Judas!

  32. H.... ....

    Kick-ass old-school metal!

  33. j.... v....

    INPRESIONANTE EXELENTES RIOT POR SIEMPRE

  34. J.... P....

    Wow wow...This song kicks ass ... Amazing !!!

  44. R.... O....

    Great music to drive to. If I'm running late for work this is the track I will put on.....

  55. R.... M....

  56. 0.... ....

    Holy shit... I was listening to iron maiden and i just remembered this band and by chance they released a song 15 hours agi

  57. I.... S....

    Amazing song

  58. N.... M....

    This reminds me in some parts to Angel Eyes

  59. g.... ....

    it sounds like thundersteel, it's great

    g.... ....

    guilhermekfwst ...and that Sir, is not a problem.

    g.... ....

    ye it sounds a lot like thundersteel, but not a bad imitation, it's just great

    g.... ....

    Going to hear Thundersteel, didn't know 'em. The closest I know were Heaven's Gate with "Livin in hysteria" album.

    g.... ....

    Angel G Thundersteel is a song, dude. One of Riot's best. That whole damn album is solid gold.

    g.... ....

    @Angel G it's the last song on this album as well as it's own Riot album

  60. S.... ....

    Thundersteel 2.0 riot is amazing..

  61. A.... R....

    # Jesus cometh!!!

  62. O.... J....

    chimbonic

  63. K.... ....

    My 5th time listening to this.. I like this song so much. And the fast beat I like too. 🤣

    K.... ....

    Kiki Yupp same here !!

    K.... ....

    I want to listen to the whole album..but i´m hanging here, listening this song over and over again! Pure love for their music!!! This group is beyond awesome!

  64. K.... ....

    This is my personal opinion, so don't get your titties in a twist. I know some of you motherfuckers can't stand opposite opinions and musical taste that differ from your own. That said, the cover art was awesome. This song started out good but It failed to deliver midway. It's good enough to get me to check the rest of their albums out though. Good voice and all that. I just want more, I don't know, music in my music. Some riff repeated oh 30-40 odd times is not enough for me.

  65. M.... ....

    the next masterpiece. I love it roit v comes

  66. N.... M....

    These dudes ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  67. D.... M....

    The best of speed metal lml

    D.... M....

    Der Meister I knew it would be speed metal

  68. G.... K....

    One of the best groups in metals history! Athens wait for you!

  69. A.... R....

    How to make a christian listen to metal music!

    A.... R....

    Been listening to many christian metal bands for years.

    A.... R....

    MrZarewna mind introducing some? \m/

    A.... R....

    Start with Rob Rock - 'Holy Hell' - probably the best Christian metal album of all time!

    A.... R....

    Check out Warlord's "Holy Empire"! Absolutely over the top epic Heavy Metal with lyrics that are mainly based und the Cristian mythology.

    A.... R....

    The best christian-badass concept album for me is Hell Destroyer by Cage

  70. R.... E....

    Awesome!!! Todd Michael is a good as fuck

  71. C.... G....

    Those characteristic Riffs ... Mark can rest in peace, Riot keeps doing things very well !!!

  72. m.... b....

    Van mejorando con los años. Impresionante este tercera entrega de su nuevo álbum. A esperar para comprarlo

  73. R.... S....

    RIP Mark Rheale the original and founding member of Riot.

    R.... S....

    THEY KEEP HIS LEGEND ALIVE , I HAVE SEEN THEM LIVE AND WITH MARK RHEALE AND WITHOUT HIM 5 MONTHS AGO , THEY ARE GREAT , VERY GOOD GUYS AND THEY ALWAYS SPEAK TO THE CROWD FOR MARK RHEALE

  74. Y.... W....

    \m/ As I said all the time: "One of the best Album of the Year!!" \m/

  85. A.... A....

    Buena rola

  86. M.... A....

    That riff guys... \m/

  87. K.... ....

    Is this a Christian band? Either way I love listening to riot v just for the music. But I'm new to them only been listening for a couple weeks now. But this song I like so much, the lyrics and the sound are amazing.

    K.... ....

    it's not their intention, but the members are religious... never mind. they're great

    K.... ....

    Mike Kennedy do you mean Mark Reale was Michael Sweet's brother in law or who do you mean by that?

    K.... ....

    Riot wasn't a Christian band, they were a heavy metal band. By the way, it they happen to be Christian and kick fucking ass, say Barren Cross or best example Believer (Tormented, Extraction From Mortality etc.), what's the fucking problem if it's metal you want pumped into your veins? You know some Christian and death musicians floated back and forth between bands, going with whichever promotion was helping them at the time, even Sabbath did this. Listen to the music, that's what we're about.

    K.... ....

    Cristal clear christian references in lyrics and images! I am glad we are living in a society, where everyone can express his thoughts. Personally i do not care. It f***** rocks. For me it is about the music.

    K.... ....

    Seems like irony to me :) Great stuff anyway

  88. M.... ....

    Good song, lol for that album cover though.. brilliant!

  89. O.... R....

    Is beautiful lml
