Townsend, Devin - Sinner Lyrics






Sinner rider, rides in with the storm
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his god, God help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it, can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

His steed of fury,
Eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the starways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then its very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm

Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Is there no other way

Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight

Thirty years now sleeping, so sound
War raises its head, and looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will start movin' around

Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight

...Sinner, Sinner, Sinner, Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the
Sinner!

Townsend, Devin Sinner Comments
  1. T.... V....

    Best priest cover ever??

  2. M.... G....

    Curse and damn all you fall by the hand of.. this cover!

  3. E.... G....

    This is maybe the best Judas Priest cover I’ve ever heard tbh, it’s incredible how he still keeps the essence of the original version but puts his own style

  4. Y.... ....

    Is there any film of this?

  5. P.... K....

    I think even the priests themselves would admit this version vaporises the original ;). My introduction to Devin's mastermind was this song

  6. S.... E....

    My. Fucking. God! Judas Priest is my favourite band, and this is easily the best cover version I have ever heard! Why haven't I heard this before???

    S.... E....

    the best!

    S.... E....

    I want to see footage of this before I grade it but it sounds pretty awesome. Could be all manipulated. I'm the cynicallest. Priest is in my Top 2 Favorite Bands so I got's to know! :)

    S.... E....

    p.s. I'll never accept seeing any KK-less version of Priest playing this live and calling themselves Judas Priest. KK helped build Priest, and Glenn's ego took over.

    S.... E....

    Sigmund Espedal check out fates warning cover of saints in hell

  7. B.... R....

    Es un sinner de la pradera

  8. C.... R....

    Priest wanted Devin as their new lead Singer. God bless it never happened, no Way to survive that, my two Favourites ever

    C.... R....

    Really? Didn't know about that

    C.... R....

    @Giacomo Gatti yep. Back when Rob halford was out of the band Devin was one of their picks. Sadly Devin himself declined the offer

    C.... R....

    @FreakingJames in my opinion what Devin on his own is out of this world. Priest are great but Devin's music is so much better, so i'm glad he refused their offer (sorry if my english isn't perfect, i'm italian)

  9. T.... ....

    insane cover

  10. J.... R....

    How good is this cover

  11. N.... ....

    This kicks ass!! I think I like it better than the original. It's close anyway.

  12. G.... L....

    Amazing song...1977

  13. L.... ....

    Oh damn. This is killer

  14. R.... -....

    DAMN! One of the best JP covers I've ever heard. \m/

  15. S.... ....

    Damn good cover

  16. R.... ....

    cant believe devin covered this. awesome

  17. c.... M....

    Unleashed in the East was my introduction to priest ... and I have to say Dev does a incredible version of sinner from it...
    killer .... thanks Dev

  18. r.... ....

    devin..nice...

  19. M.... ....

    Fuck. Kidz Bop is totally bad ass now.

  20. S.... B....

    I love how he not only covers the song itself but pays homage to the live Unleashed in the East version with so much attention to the details and nuances of that recording.

    S.... B....

    Unleashed in the east is truly priest at it's best

  21. P.... F....

    It only now occurred to me but does anybody else think Devin's voice is a bit similar to Sebastian Bach's(former Skid Row vocalist)? Not talking about their vocal styles, though they're quite similar too, talking strictly about his unique tone.

    P.... F....

    Holy fuck I've thought this exact thing for a long time.

    P.... F....

    Podrick Fookin' Payne Thays exactly what I thought first time I heard him on Sex&Religion, was man he sounds like Sebastian Bach, but more raw — more metal. That was back in the ‘90s. I also thought, “Holy hell , there must be a lot of great singers in the world. I quit.” I didn’t know I was listening to a world class voice, just another great voice on record, knowhatimean? I actually was majoring in vocal performance at the time and did quit.
    Funny, cuz I made a mix CD for a buddy of mine of all my favorite vocalists, and half the songs came from Sex&Religion. This was back in ~2003. And I thought who ***is*** this guy!? Looked inside the CD, saw it was Devin Townsend, looked him up, and man, I can’t tell you the reward it was!!! I bought all his songs for 10 cents apiece from some Russian download site mp3sugar or something, and have been addicted ever since. I have since gone back and actually bought the music for real (had 5 copies of Ocean Machine on vinyl even, gave 3 away to very good friends), and 3 of Terria. Wow, this got long winded. Sorry lol

    P.... F....

    Same vocal fry on the top end .... Tim Owens kind of has it too ...Devon makes vocal fry his bitch though .... he's the master ...

  22. H.... ....

    The best version of this song I've heard

  23. P.... ....

    Devin rocks! Go Devin!

  24. B.... B....

    Wow, this rocks

  25. N.... ....

    Savage version...amazing... This is what something sounds like when it's done with passion, honesty and love for all that's metal. If I could ink this, it would cover my back.

  26. P.... G....

    Good grief . Absolutely sensational . I saw Judas priest play this in Melbourne 2008
    . Made every hair on my body stand on end .

    P.... G....

    He had some major vocal problems in 2008, it improved in 2009 but it wasn't before 2011 that his voice started to sound good again. On the latest tour i would say with 95% certainty that he would nail it cause they did screaming for vengeance live (was a bit rough but still awesome). Also if they played it at original speed and halford kept to the high parts in the song and didn't try and scream his head off i think we COULD have had an awesome sinner version from 2014-2015

    P.... G....

    I still thought he sounded good . I know what you mean though . He couldn't get those high notes with the power he used to have . Yes time is a thief Paniak B .

    P.... G....

    It was good some dates but to me Graspop from 2008 shows how bad it was compared to now (he was sick there too though). But from 2011-2015 he has sounded really good. But there were defiantly days on 2008-2009 that were really good too no doubt

    P.... G....

    Actually I do remember someone at the time saying Rob Halford's voice wasn't quite right and he did seem to adjust his vocal style .

    P.... G....

    i have to come back over a year later and say that they have played sinner in 2018 and it has sounded phenomenal. seen them once during this tour and i have nothing bad to say about the whole band, they sound better now than they have in years and the songs in the setlists has been a huge treat to the fans!

  27. v.... s....

    i love the little tributes to unleashed at the beginning and end. very tasteful.

  28. G.... G....

    좋다

  29. S.... B....

    Heavy so heavy metal !!

  30. M.... S....

    Awesome

  31. c.... F....

    awesome even his cover of exciter is badass

  32. T.... d....

    amazing ... one of the best cover I've ever heard along with the Angra band that played Painkiller also incredibly

  33. R.... K....

    Sucks dog balls.

    R.... K....

    Maybe instead of sucking on a dog's balls, you should listen to this badass cover of Sinner.

    R.... K....

    I have and I loved it.

  34. B.... M....

    Saintly

  35. G.... D....

    oh...devy...gotta love him

  36. R.... R....

    as a huge Priest fan, I gotta say this was pretty bad ass!!!

    R.... R....

    i also love Judas but this one from Devin was just awesome cover in Devin style,all respect metal outhere but Devin really is a genius

  37. H.... B....
