Get a grip on the action
Movin' heaven and earth
You gotta get a reaction
Push for all that you're worth
No denying, we're going against the grain
So defiant, but they'll never put us down
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free
All your life
Tough as steel, stop at nothing
Look at fate in the face
Don't take no for an answer, yeah
Grab the lead in the race
No denying, we're going against the grain
So defiant, but they'll never put us down
Spit it out
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free
All your life
Rock hard with a purpose
Got a mind that won't bend
Die hard resolution
That is true to the end
No denying, we're going against the grain
Because it's so defiant
Everybody scream it again
Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free

0General CommentNot the greatest song lyrics wise, even as a Judas Priest effort (not exactly well known for their thoughtful lyrics :P), but the riff and solo are hard to beat. ULlilLady is right though methinks. Something about living life to the fullest and not taking 'no' for an answer._00_deathscaron February 04, 2007 Link

0General CommentThis song was originally called "Fight for your Life", and was released on Hell Bent for Leather. Later, the lyrics changed and they added the intro solo, then released the song again 5 years later on Defenders of the Faith under the name "Rock Hard Ride Free".ThunderAlexon October 02, 2011 Link

Another Love

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart

In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
