Hellrider
Sabaton琀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Head one by one down the highway
Tires are screaming leave trails on the road, the sirens of death coming our way
We'll always be one step ahead, we'll not fall back
Pedal to metal rock hard and ride free, the philosophy of a rider
Don't use the brakes ride on faster instead, adrenaline taking you higher
Fall back in line or stand away, we like it fast
Into hell we ride fast as lightning, enter the darkness
The weak ones will pay
Ride through fire cause revolution, this is a hellrider's way
Crushing the traitors to no man we kneel, the power is at our command
Nothing can stop us it's head over heel, united together we stand
If it's to hard then you're too weak, you're in our way
If you ain't tough enough to play, get out our way
The lyrics to Sabaton's "Hellrider" are an ode to the freedom and power that comes with riding a motorcycle. The opening lines compare the feeling of riding to an intense rush, like blood burning like oil and tires screaming as they leave trails on the road. The chorus reinforces this sentiment, with lines like "pedal to metal rock hard and ride free" and "ride through fire cause revolution, this is a hellrider's way," capturing the rebellious spirit that often accompanies motorcycle culture.
The verses also convey a sense of unity and strength among riders. Lines like "we'll always be one step ahead, we'll not fall back" and "the power is at our command, united together we stand" suggest that even though riding can be a solitary activity, there's a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose that comes with being part of a motorcycle community. The lyrics also touch on themes of bravery and toughness, with lines like "if it's too hard then you're too weak" and "crushing the traitors to no man we kneel," suggesting that to be a true hellrider, one must be willing to push themselves to their limits and stand up for what they believe in.

For whom that enjoy listening to the song reading the lyrics
Here they come
These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed
Speed of Death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vaporizing glares
Raised to man oppressed
Sign of persecution
Hellrider
Roars through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight
All incensed
To overthrow
Strong defense
With armaments they grow
By this quest
Their fate's renowned
Put to rest
Abominations crown
Time to ram it down
Judgment for the tyrant
Hellrider
Roars through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight
Fight undying and eternal
Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honor bound your strength repleted
To no end they're undefeated
Hellrider, Hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider, Hellrider
You brought them through their despair
Hellrider, Hellrider
Your tempered steel relinquished
Hellrider, Hellrider
You slaught them all extinguished
Wrath of doom
In killing fields
They consume
Their valiants never yield
Triumph to the gods
Vanquished of enslavers
Hellrider
Breaking their will
Hellrider
In for the kill
Hellrider, Hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider, Hellrider
You brought them through it all
Hellrider

This song and One shot at glory have probably the most intense twin guitar solos in history. Top tier metal solos for me

That's 100% correct. Two are the best songs by Metal Gods Judas Priest
