Deal With The Devil Lyrics

Forged in the Black Country
Under blood red skies
we all had our dream to realise

driving in that transit
down to Holy Joe's
used to lose our head while metal flowed
nothing held us back or dared to try
something in our blood won't let us die

We built our world of metal watched it grow

fuelled the fury solid to the bone

gotta deal with the devil
cause you know that's it's real
done a deal with the devil
from a heart made of steel

Rollin' down the M-Way
took it to the smoke

Banging heads there 'til we all went broke

when we don the leather
and the whips and chains
nothing matters more we can't be tamed

fighting through the din and accolades
turn the phase around with razor blades
watched the movement grow into one voice
took on the whole world it had no choice

gotta deal with the devil
cause you know that's it's real
donedeal with the devil
from a heart made of steel


and late at night
there ain't a sight
that we can feel what we've been waiting for
Let me hear you roar

Upon this stage
let it rage
This time we leave the world behind
to be with our own kind

gotta deal with the devil
cause you know that's it's real
gotta deal with the devil
from a heart made of steel

gotta deal with the devil
cause you know that's it's real
gotta deal with the devil
from a heart made of steel

Deal
Gotta deal with the devil

Cover art for Deal With The Devil lyrics by Judas Priest

I'm very disappointed in the low turn-out on the Judas Priest pages. Especially right when the new album comes out and it's rumored that it sold 70,000 copies in it first week in America alone.

I think this about the band's rise in popularity, the rise of heavy metal in the 70s and 80s, and how people thought they had made a deal with satan or something, as there are many people stupid enough to think that if your lyrics are dark, you are evil or something. Rob Halford has been quoted [joking], to have said "Yeah, we made a deal with the devil. That was a kinda Spinal Tap moment".

This is the story of how Judas Priest came to power. A very annoying song if you ask me. Too repetitive. 3/5

Incredible song, imo the best in Angel of Retribution.

Cover art for Deal With The Devil lyrics by Judas Priest

This song is about their music career. "Driving in that transit / Down to Holy Joe's / Used to bang our heads while metal flowed". Holy Joe's is a nickname they gave to their first studio which was in the basement of a church. "We hit at night / Arena sight / And we can feel what we've been waiting for / Let me hear you roar / Upon the stage / We let it rage / And for a time we leave our world behind / To be with our own kind" describes a concert.
