Let Us Prey/Call for the Priest Lyrics
Call for the priest, I'm dying
Well the pressure's too much
You know I peaked last night
I gotta get some a quick release
City is standing
On my shoulders
My body's going piece by piece
Yeah!
Yes I know what I want
And I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest
That I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
No!
When your back's to the wall
Come along one and all
We shall fight for the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose
Let the bigoted loose
For our triumph's the means to their end
With you by my side
I shall ride every storm
Let the cynics drop dead
In their critical head
They're wrist merchants as you all can see
Bunch of deaf ears
With their columnized fears
What a shame, what a shame, oh dear me
Yeah!
When your back's to the wall
Come along one and all
We shall fight all the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose
Let the bigoted loose
For our triumph's the means to their end
Yes I know what I want
And I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest
That I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
Yeah!
You know I peaked last night
I gotta get some a quick release
City is standing
On my shoulders
My body's going piece by piece
Yeah!
And I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest
That I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray
No!
Come along one and all
We shall fight for the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose
Let the bigoted loose
For our triumph's the means to their end
I shall ride every storm
In their critical head
They're wrist merchants as you all can see
Bunch of deaf ears
With their columnized fears
What a shame, what a shame, oh dear me
Yeah!
Come along one and all
We shall fight all the slander that's penned
It's us we shall choose
Let the bigoted loose
For our triumph's the means to their end
And I know where to get it
And I'm going there right away
This is one priest
That I don't have to fall on
Down to my knees and pray

As good as some of these lyrics are, I really struggle with the meaning of the song. My best guess is that it's about music itself and our freedom to choose what music we listen to, regardless of what others think ("Let the critics drop dead...")
That said, this may very well be the first Speed Metal song ever recorded. Exciter gets a lot of credit for that, but it all started here with this song.
