Judas Priest

written by glenn tipton

i am love, i am hate
i'm an atheist with faith
went my anger with a smile
i'm polite or obscene
either whisper or i scream
i'm not quite what i seem
i'm somewhere in between

i am young in my old age
i am calm or in a rage
i'm your friend or enemy
a pacifist or at war
i am rich but i am poor
i'm all extremes
i'm nowhere in between

wide awake
or in a dream
nowhere in between
like the pulse of a machine
i'm driven to extremes

i feel the turmoil boil in me
i'm neither healthy nor diseased

i am all extremes
but i'm still in between

say right or say wrong
outcast yet i belong
i'm high or i'm dry
say i am weak yet i am strong

in between
in between

i am my alter ego
i am subconsciously
in depth but also shallow
or somewhere in between

oh i know i am
always first in line or last
i swim with sharks or drown with rats
i'll defend as i attack
my world and yours are not the same
i am in a different lane
i am not where i seem
but i'm somewhere in between

i seek revenge
as i forgive
i die to live - ah
not afraid but scared to death
i don't fit in

in between - all extremes
