Lyrics:

Hellrider is the track #8 on Judas Priest’s album Angel of Retribution.
Similar to their “hit” Painkiller, the song describes some fantastic (and “hell-ish”) monster who comes to help and free humanity.

Here they come
These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed
Speed of death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vaporising glares

Raised to man oppressed
Sign of persecution

Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

All incensed
To overthrow
Strong defense
With armaments they grow

By this quest
Their fate's renowned
Put to rest
Abominations grow

Time to ram it down
Judgement for the tyrant

Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

Fight undying and eternal
Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honor bound your strength repleted
To no end, they're undefeated


Hellrider, hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider, hellrider
You brought them through their despair
Hellrider, hellrider
Your tempered steel relinquished
Hellrider, hellrider
You slaught them all extinguished

Wrath of doom
In killing fields
They consume
For valiants never yield

Triumph to the gods
Vanquished of enslavers

Hellrider
Breaking their will
Hellrider
In for the kill

Hellrider, hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider, hellrider
You brought them through it all
Hellrider
