I arose from a nightmare
Or was it a dream?
About a world filled with chaos
And a killing machine
~
The world was a swirl of emotion
Passion blurred with rageFreedom's light was found inside a cold iron-barred cage
~
Destiny was playing cards
The dealers name was fate
I asked if I could play a hand
...They said I was too late
~
The sun was just setting upon the horizon
Orange light danced about the full moon
I breathed a heavy sigh of burden for I knew
...All to come was doom
~
So I walked on down by the water
And waved back to a drowning man
And thought about whom I had become
And how I became who I am
~
I had given my life meaning
Though the path had become hard to follow
I was alone with desperation
And wondered if it would be any different tomarrow
~
Then from the corner of my eye
There emerged a shimmery gleam
And like a freedom fighterThere was the Killing Machine!
~
Fear mated with anticipation
I was glued in my tracks with awe
I looked to it's face for an expression
And here is what I saw...
~
One eye sprakled with Love
The other...glared with Hate
Determination upon it's brow
Power..eveident all over it's face
~
It beckoned me to come
And as fools we often walk to our own death
So who was I to break the the rule
I stepped towards it holding my breath
~
It's hand around my throat gripped comfortingly tight
My heartbeat quickened and shallowed, I did not long to fight
~
I swear then that it kissed me
As I fell lifeless to the ground
Lifeless as stone and now...
Just as sound
A PICTURE OF A KILLING MACHINE I FOUND ON-LINE
I never even knew someone else had a song called "Killing Machine" let alone Judas Priest
