6th track on the “STAINED CLASS” album (1978).
Lyrics:
They laughed at their gods
And fought them in vain
So he turned his back on them
And left them in pain
Now here come the saints
With their banners held high
Each one of them martyrs
Quite willing to die
Wake the dead, the saints are in Hell
Wake the dead, they’ve come for the bell
Cover your fists
Razor your spears
It’s been our possession
For 8,000 years
Fetch the scream eagles
Unleash the wild cats
Set loose the king cobras
And blood sucking bats
Wake the dead, the saints are in hell
Wake the dead, they’ve come for the bell
We are saints
In hell
We are saints
In hell
We’re going down
Into the fire
We’re going down
Into the fire
The streets run with blood from the mass mutilation
As carnage took toll for the bell
Abattoir, abattoir, mon Dieu quelle horreur
For a time is was like second hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
The battle is over, the saints are alive
How can we all thank you, we felt so despised
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell

Gods of Metal
Judas priest the best band of heavy metal in the world.
One off their best tracks , I’ve still got stained class on disc
Halford vocals on this track are unbelievable, awesome 👌
I haven't heard this for many years. It's just as good as when I listened to it in college. Their work influenced so many metal bands to come… Priest is truly one of the top metal bands of all time.
Criminally underrated Priest song, along with Hard As Iron, Blood Red Skies, Cathedral Spires, Run of the Mill, Out in the Cold, Heart of a Lion, Dissident Aggressor, Hell Patrol, Before the Dawn, Take These Chains, Living Bad Dreams, Abductors, Alone, Night Comes Down, The Rage, Hellrider, Hell Is Home, A Touch of Evil, Worth Fighting For, Demonizer, Never Satisfied, Burn in Hell, Metal Meltdown, Lochness, One On One, Locked In, and Angel.
The best of the Priest!
Heavy metal vintage hippie the best of the best
After all these years
This tune still blows my mind.

The bassline is amazing!
🤘 always a kick-ass tune.
It's a blast to play.
Abattoir, abattoir, mon dieu quelle horreur!
LOVE this song!! They do it better live now in 2018. Rob sounds like he's singing from hell!
Just heard it for the very first time! Great track! I´m going to buy the album!
saw them play this live tonight, what a treat! one of their best ever.
Rob looks a little like Putin
Am I the only who think Les Binks was the best drummer of Judas Priest?
2:11 en adelante SUPER SUPER
Masterpiece
Sang this song in my cover band. And yes I had to put my nuts in a vice. That hurt, but it was worth it. HAIL TO THE KING!
THE ORIGINAL MODERN METAL BAND!!! Noone sings like Halford, Noone. No one plays like KK, Glenn, and Ian.Having sang Judas Priest covers for around 20 yrs. This was one of my fav's to try and cover. Every metal was influenced by Priest. And if say they weren't, they're lying.
"Abattoir, abattoir! Mon dieu, quelle horreur!"
Translation: "Slaughterhouse, slaughterhouse! My god, what horror!"
Fucking badass!
THE APEX
Is this song about the Crusades??
Stained Class rivals screaming for Vengeance maybe just a little better. judas priest fan for life!
We're going DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNnnnnnnnnn
INTO THE FIRE!
sick song
I'll never know if there are saints in hell because the guy upstairs don't want me and the guy downstairs is scared I'm going to take over get it so I'm stuck around here for a while
That first bass line reminds me of Wrathchild, from Maiden
Is it just me?
first time I heard this song I was high off some good weed and it blew me away needless to say 6 months later…I'm getting in trouble at work for walking off all the time just to listen to this song. my boss asked me on my break what I was doing that got me in trouble at the office and I played this song. after listening he said "fuck those fucking fuckers, I don't blame you"

Finally I know, where Iron Maien got their inspiration for Wrathchild
This song is what a heavy metal song should be.
