Made Of Metal
Halford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam
He descends from the sky
And he's ready to die for the thrill
Your fate will be called by his will
Reeling you into a climax crescendo of sound
[Chorus]
You have no time
He can turn on a dime with his stare
Spins you around and he's taking you down
He don't care
Stay out of his way or you know you're gonna pay eating wall
[Chorus]
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a NASCAR dream
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a nitro scene
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a NASCAR dream
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a hot rod scream
Super sonic silver flying machine

@Huma Khan Hah! That would mean I'm made of Wood and I am Made of METAL \m/
Plus the Moment You tried to TELL ME WHAT TO DO , BRINGS OUT THE METAL AND A BIG F.U. !
Remember NASCAR Began from MOONSHINE Running... Prohibition... an so much more... Yet Now Nascar is CORPORATE OWNED CONTROLLED SAND BAGGING BULLSHIT with Spineless Nascar Family Inherited Drivers Taking a Knee for What ?
Nascar gets to file 100% Depreciation in the FIRST YEAR of Building a Track.. and Tax Payers get to Foot the Bills..
FORD Total Performance had MORE RACE WINS.... Than ALL OTHER FACTORY RACE TEAMS COMBINED, TWO AND A HALF TIMES OVER...
When the FORD THUNDERBIRD WAS CONSISTENTLY LAPPING THE OTHER CARS AND WINNING RACE AFTER RACE.. The Cars were Torn Apart Repeatedly and Tested over and Over... FORD WAS COMPLETELY IN THE GUIDELINES... Yet NASCAR , Chose it would be only Fare... if FORD ALONE was to Choke Out THEIR ENGINES WITH RESTRICTOR PLATES...
Yeah... NASCAR ISN'T POLITICAL.. MY ASS...
Plus Isn't this a JUDAS PRIEST VIDEO ?
I have nothing against You.. Except trying to TELL ME what to do.. Instead of ASKING..
IF YOU had Asked Me and given even a Reason with ANY LEG TO STAND ON.. Like Hey, I would Like to ask if You wouldn't mind Killing Your Comment because We would like to Avoid Politics as much as possible..
That would probably have gotten Me to Erase My post...
Or Politics Suck ! Would You mind killing Your post just to Help keep the Political BS out of Here... We would like to keep the conversation more about Nascar or Metal or ,
But also .. This IS A JUDAS PRIEST VIDEO and You pop up getting High and Mighty about this Being Nascar !
If I wasted time thinking about it... I would possibly Conclude Your a TROLL FOR THE LEFT ! The whole pop up , talk s#!t that has Nothing to do with anything except calling people names, try to make people feel bad, try to get people to pull their post.. usually just pop up and call people names over their comment and leave.. anyway.
Have Fun
Maybe Others will have something to say... Maybe they will All take My side... or Maybe I will wake up with a Horse's Head next to Me in My Bed..
I guess We Will Find Out ... Is this a Judas Priest Video , a NASCAR VIDEO, A Spineless Libtard KNEELING TO BLM $ VIDEO, or Who Cares... Both of You S.T.F.U. ! VIDEO..
Personally the Last choice would be Great !
Amanda Pulliam

Great song. This really does grow on you the more you listen to it. I know the people that did the video and I think they did a fantastic job in capturing the essence of Nascar with an alien twist.Well done all round!
