Hell Bent For Leather Lyrics

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, of 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

There isn't much deep meaning behind this. It's basically just about a badass biker who many have challenged but no one can beat in races. But this is an awesome heavy metal song and the guitar solo is great. FACT: Judas Priest ROCKS!

There is no deep meaning at all. Glenn Tipton said that he wrote it when he saw Rob riding to the studio on a motorcycle.

Hell yes!! Priest and Rob all the way!!

Hell yeah bro, this song rocks my socks, i'm just learning it on my guitar cuz its that awsome, if i had to venture a meaning to it? This dude is a badass and has the fasted most epic Motorcycle ever and no one is faster than him and he is an allaround badass no one can measure up to, he probably curb stomps people for fun and then runs there ass over with his razor bladed Bike of awsome, not to forget he wears studs and leather. wait this all sound like Rob Halford..... lol.

This song is B-E-A-UTIFUL. I also have only recently turned on the Judas but wow, this song's great. Makes the radio look soooooo poor.

Before anyone states the so INCORRECT statement...this song isn't about Rob being gay this song isn't about gay rights, or anything GAY! Rob didn't even write the song, G. Tippton wrote it after seeing Rob wearing a leather outfit while coming to the studio on a motorcycle . . . and obviously it became Priest's look which became the look of metal.

Who's Rob Halford again? Is he the guy from Jurassic Park?
