Originally performed by Judas Priest



Racing' cross the heavens

Straight into the dawn

Looking like a comet

Slicing through the morn

Scorching the horizon

Blazing to the land

Now he's here amongst us

The age of fire's at hand



Stand by for Exciter

Salvation is his task

Stand by for Exciter

Salvation bids to ask



Everything he touches

Fries into a crisp,

Let him get close to you

So you're in his trip,

First you'll smoke and smoulder

Blister up and singe

When ignition hits you

the very soul of your being will cringe.



Stand by for Exciter

Salvation is his task

Stand by for Exciter

Here he comes now

Fall to your knees and repent if you please



Who is this man?

Where is he from?

Exciter comes

For everyone.

You'll never see him

But you will taste the fire upon your tongue



He's come to make you snap out

Of the state that you are in

Looks around and make you

See the light again

So much self-indulgence

Results in shattered eyes

Predominant complacency

Leads to beguiling lies.



Stand by for Exciter

Salvation is his task

Stand by for Exciter

Salvation bids to ask



When he leaps amidst us

With combustive dance

All shall bear the branding

Of his thermal lance,

Cauterizing masses

Melting into one

Only when there's order

Will his job be done.



Stand by for Exciter

Salvation is his task

Stand by for Exciter

Here he comes now

Fall to your knees and repent if you please



Who is this man?

Where is he from?

Exciter comes

For everyone

You'll never see him

But you will taste the fire
