Halford's first album "Resurrection" was included in Martin Popoff's "The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". As well, the songs "Silent Screams" and the title-track "Resurrection" were included in Popoff's list. The track "The One You Love to Hate" included guest vocalist Bruce Dickinson, from Iron Maiden.
In 2002, Halford released the second studio album "Crucible", although no live recordings have been officially released to promote this album. A high-quality soundboard bootleg titled "Live - From the Disney House of Blues" was made available for download along with a special DEP at Robhalford.com in 2004. Halford released bonus tracks in Japan, such as "She", "Fugitive", "Rock the World Forever" and "In the Morning".
On November, 2006, Halford released a single set from the Halford IV album, titled "Forgotten Generation." The first wave of Halford releases included remastered editions of his solo band's back catalogue and initially releasing them through Apple's online iTunes Store. Fight also celebrated a release, an early recording entitled "K5- War of Words Demos," which were the demos that Rob Halford had recorded back when Fight had first formed. Lastly, a compilation was included, called "Metal God Essentials, Vol. 1," which not only had the fans' favorite Halford tunes, but also had new songs called "Forgotten Generation" and "Drop Out."
Rob Halford's third solo record, entitled "Halford III - Winter Songs", was released worldwide through all retailers on November 3, 2009. The record features new tracks recorded by his solo band between 2008–2009, as well as traditional Christmas songs re-arranged to heavy metal renditions by Halford himself.

SAVIOR
Halford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm older so I'm wise
I have been crucified
With words personified
Here I am now, I'm your savior
There can be only one
I'm the master, past and future
I've always stood alone
Your time got overgrown
Those words shot way too wide
No hate can take my pride
Here I am now, I'm your savior
You can see I'm the one
There's no reason for such treason
Now your end has begun
(Solo)
Here I am now, I'm your savior
There can be only one
I'm the master, past and future
Now the end has begun
Here I am now, I'm your savior
You can see I'm the one
There's no reason for such treason
Now your end has begun
The lyrics to Halford's song Savior seem to be about someone who is confident in themselves and their abilities. The first stanza seems to suggest that the singer has been through some form of suffering, perhaps being "crucified" by others in the past with their words. However, they have gained wisdom through these experiences and are now "set to paralyze" their enemies, to show them that they are not to be messed with.
The second stanza seems to emphasize the singer's superiority over others. They claim to be the "master" of the past and the future, suggesting that they are in control of their own destiny. The repetition of "now the end has begun" also adds a sense of finality to the lyrics, as if the singer is about to start something big that will bring about the end of their enemies.
Overall, the lyrics to Savior seem to be about someone who has been through a lot and has come out on top. They are confident in themselves and their abilities, and they are ready to take on anyone who would try to bring them down. The repeated refrain of "I'm your savior" suggests that they see themselves as a messiah figure, come to save their followers from their enemies.
