Painkiller
Saratoga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
terrifying scream
enraged and full of anger
he's half man and half machine
Rides the metal monster
breathing smoke and fire
closing in with vengeance soaring high
He is the painkiller
Planets devastated
mankind's on its knees
a saviour comes from out the skies
in answer to their pleas
Through boiling clouds of thunder
blasting bolts of steel
evils going under deadly wheels
He is the painkiller
this is the painkiller
Faster than a lazer bullet
louder than an atom bomb
chromium plated boiling metal
brighter than a thousand suns
Flying high on rapture
stronger free and brave
nevermore encaptured
they've been brought back from the grave
With mankind ressurrected
forever to survive
returns from armageddon to the skies
He is the painkiller
this is the painkiller
wings of steel painkiller
deadly wheels painkiller!

@AndresMedinaIng
Definitivamente el mejor cover... Leo Jimenez canta que te cagas... Es un insulto a la música que se atrevan a criticarlo... No por nada es una de las mejores voces de Europa... Joder!!!
@yngwiemalmsteenslash
Leo es un excelente vocalista pero todos debemos aceptar que le quedo grande esta canción
@gersonsoto5482
Como vocalista pienso que todos tenemos el derecho hacer de la música nuestro estilo no se puede comparar cada quien con su característica.
@quinchoarenas89
Denle una escuchada a la version d Angra, es un cover genial!
@dansixx616
La primera version que escuché de niño de Painkiller fue precisamente esta, ni idea porqué estaba en el pc de mi familia esta version y no la original... igual es buena
@DIO616
Deberias de escuchar a Chuck Schuldiner con el Painkiller en el Sound Of Perseverance, Death.
