[Intro] Oh-oh, yeah! [Verse 1] Faster than a bullet, 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 [Chorus] He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller [Verse 2] 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 Evil's going under deadly wheels [Chorus] He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller [Bridge] Faster than a laser bullet Louder than an atom bomb Chromium plated boiling metal Brighter than a thousand suns [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Flying high on rapture, stronger free and brave Nevermore encaptured, they've been brought back from the grave With mankind resurrected, forever to survive Returns from Armageddon to the skies [Chorus] He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller Wings of steel Painkiller Deadly wheels Painkiller [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller Wings of steel Painkiller Deadly wheels Painkiller [Post-Chorus] Pain! Pain! Killer! Killer! Pain! Pain! Killer! Killer! [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Can't stop the painkiller! Pain!
