Judas Priest - Invader Lyrics
I came across a smoking field, pulsating afterglow
I saw a seering flash of light erupt and skyward go
I staggered back in dazed surprise
What was it I had seen?
And as I stood there mesmerized I heard my spirit scream
Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
This is the first of more to come in carefully planned attacks
If it is so we must prepare defenses to fight back
The call is out throughout the world
United we must stand
To build a line, strategic force, they will not take a man
Invader invader nearby
When they come to take control every man must play his role
They won't take our world away when the children we leave
Will have to believe in today
We warn you now you things out there
Whatever you may send
We won't give in without a fight, a fight until the end
With vigilance by day and night our scanners trace the sky
A shield is sealed upon this earth, a shield you won't get by
Invader invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh

An adaptation of this song should have been put in Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds musical. I'm not sure if it was out then though.
Love the intro.
why is no one memeing on this song because of the area 51 raid
Hey, look ma. My chair is broken.
Kalergi
The intro is sick!
Fuckn badass track to drive to.
JUDAS PRIEST// ROB HALFORD ARE THE GODS OF HEAVY METAL \,,,/
That F'in lead break........
Is that game in the back ground music at intro space invaders ?
That guitar tho 🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Kk Downing rocks
That guitar tho 🔥
beautiful
17 people like justin Beiber
Excellent song
Kickass
Underrated album
The runaway echo sound effect at the beginning of the song was created using a Maestro Echoplex tape echo. I have one so I should know! Best, wettest echo ever, better than digital.
More like interlopets and usurpers but who is noticing.
Interlopers*
τέλειο
Excellent song from an excellent album.
Nice lead break... Simple, melodic and creative.
Bought this album the day it came out when l was in High School...still love it 39 years later
Wonderful song....
xcom.mp3
les binks my favorite drummer
I remember buying a flanger pedal as a kid and having hours of fun playing "invader intro" with it.
I got this album last weekend,still rockin
THE BUSINESS....................................................
1) boot up any version of X-com
2) Put this song on, in a constant loop
3) win
Rob's mid tone sounds damn cool
if you let GOD open your spiritual eyes, it is so obvious priest songs are mostly about the spirit realm , you sleeping dogs......
I must admit I sang priest for years & also practiced black magic (ignorantly), then i became born again of the spirit of GOD, since then I've been involved in casting demons out of young people since 83, hating darkness , loving the light of christ jesus, & loving all people for the sake of their souls, for I myself was once headed to hell, as we all were, before christ........
Cool story brah.
up the irons
jason kamakaze wtf
jason kamakaze must’ve been some fine ass weed
please don"t be spiritually ignorant, this is an angelic ,spiritual battle, which I have personally have been in since 1982
jason kamakaze You are very right sir. They are far away from being a satanic band
Magic ! Priest
like war of the worlds
Judas Priest Invader on the radio waves in outer space will definitely put off any aliens. Maybe thats why we haven't been invaded yet. They thought " fuck that shit, these dudes are prepared and serious"
Fuck yeah! \,,,/
I wonder if Ronald Reagan ever listened to Judas Priest?
That would be cool af if he did tho but i doubt it
mongopipes nah he probably listened to swing music
A masterpiece
As a conservative myself I sincerely hope he did
fantastic futuristic intro like a UFO who is landed.
+Christof Keller haha~! yes!
united we must stand
Definitely their strongest album lyrically
Hey they ripoff iron Maiden song invaider
+Franklin Butterfield Iron Maiden's 'Invaders' is about the Northmen, whereas Judas Priest's 'Invader' is about something else.
+Franklin Butterfield even if it came out after maiden would it not be a ripoff
Really? Are you a moron or just acoustically challenged? The songs are completely different, the lyrics are completely different and if anyone ripped anyone of a song title it was maiden considering this album was out before bruce and number of the beast were even an idea.
@ZFlyingVLover Cory in the house is still a best anime:^)
Franklin Butterfield the maiden song is about Vikings
clasico! \m/
Criminally underrated. Seriously !! NEEDS MORE VIEWS!
Ilove this song.
Sin after sin is the heavier and more likable album to me but this is also a master piece!
you know the music has you in a trance when you've been sitting there with a packed bong rip for the past three hours and haven't bothered to take it lol or an unlit smoke or unopened beer etc.
YUP HE'LL YEAAA
shayner67681 and you should have been somewhere important an hour ago. your stuck
This album got me through some tough times
THIS is METAL! I Got them w/ Hell Bent... This IS the WAY!
ive have seen five shows 1980 , 1982
I came across a smoking field
Pulsating afterglow
I saw a searing flash of light
Erupt and skyward go
I staggered back in dazed surprise
What was it I had seen?
And as I stood there mesmerized
I heard my spirit scream
Invader, invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
This is the first of more to come
In carefully planned attacks
If it is so we must prepare
Defenses to fight back
The call is out throughout the world
United we must stand
To build a line, strategic force
They will not take a man
Invader, invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
When they come to take control
Every man must play his role
They won't take our world away
When the children we leave
Will have to believe in today
We warn you now you things out there
Whatever you may send
Won't give in without a fight
A fight until the end
With vigilance by day and night
Our scanners trace the sky
A shield is sealed upon this earth
A shield you won't get by
Invader, invader nearby
Invader, invader is nigh
Got yo back
Is this about aliens or muslims?
@ZFlyingVLover The non rascist one mate
@Queerien lannister I knew I liked aliens. Legal ones that is. BTW islam isn't a race mate. No more so than christianity is a race
@ZFlyingVLover Close enough
THE LYRICS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!
One of my favorite priest songs. Listen to Ian's bass in this song, it's amazing! Such an under appreciated member of the band.
Yes, someone who appreciates Ian's playing!
Ian Hill in 70s Priest is amazing
I have always loved the bass in this, Ian Hill, legend,!
#JUDAS PRIEST- "Invader" #Stained Class 78'
You can see the inspiration Maiden got from this song on their "Invaders" from Number of The Beast.
@211Appolo - I was just about to disagree and then heard the chorus ... heh. Indeed there's a resemblance to Maiden's Invaders.
And Maiden got the inspiration for Wrathchild from Saints in Hell
actually it would be Iron Maidens INVASION as INVASION is the inspiration for INVADERS .....Invasion may have been inspired by this ......unless there are thousands of other invasion topic songs.......hmmmm. Iron Maiden gets Influence from Priest. Priest prob. got Influence from Lucifers Friend 1970
@supermetalrockmetal JP are superior song writers. Period , End of Story.
I personally love this song and the best one for me is The Ripper.
Their best album.
Absolute Perfection.
@Scotty J. Don't forget Rocka Rolla, I recently dug it out and appreciated it all over again. \m/
@The1WhoKnowsTheTruth Yeah, but I don't really like that one at all. In fact, I hardly even count it. It's more like an EP.
@Scotty J. Go back and re-visit it, for Rob's vocal work alone, especially "Dying To Meet You." On a POE note......I just saw them on November 7th and was blown away that they did "Desert Plains" 3rd song into the night. One of my top 5 fav tunes from them that they never play. They also did the "Rage" which was a killer surprise.
@The1WhoKnowsTheTruth I'll go back and check it out man. Thanks for ur input. _Metal Gods_
Yeah I don't really count Rocka Rolla either. Sad Wings was their true start in my opinion. But I'd say this album is an extremely close second to Painkiller for their best album.
This song is super X-Com
Yes, we all know that Rob is gay...now STFU AND LET US LISTEN TO THIS GAY MAN'S AWESOME SINGING!
Fuck you.
Rob may be gay, but he'd fuck all you haters up
Better Manowar learns from this gay super heavy metal singer
tats gone up by alot my friend:)
Manowar shows half naked muscled men in almost the 99% of their albums... suspicious mind...
most youtubers a lobotomized ...i just cannot find another earthy explanation...
skrillex army invades us arghhhhhh
That's called Omophobia
Fuck gayer singers. Manowar rules.
Sure... priest are the best heavy metal band in the world :)
The Best !!!!!
too busy listening to justin bieber and dubstep
@chillichomper it's a super old judas priest album. youtubers don't know about this.
my favorite album by the band. Arifts sister. Ha!
