[Tipton/Halford]

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


[SOLO (Glenn)]


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


[SOLO (both)]

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

Racing past 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
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter

Stand by for Exciter
