Judas Priest are one of the pioneers of the heavy metal genre and were forerunners of the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' movement, laying the groundwork for the speed and thrash metal of the 80s and 90s back in the late 70s. The band was formed in 1967 by guitarist Kenneth "K. K." Downing, bassist Ian Hill and original singer Alan Atkins. A second guitarist, Glenn Tipton, was also added to the lineup as compensation for their record company's (Gull Records) suggestion to add a horn section to the first album. This "twin axe attack" was not particularly popular at the time, but worked wonders for the group later on and would inspire other bands to do the same.

Before The Dawn Lyrics
Judas Priest
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep dont let the morning take him
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving
Its been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
Ive waited too long, and now youre leaving
Oh please dont take it all away
Its been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
Ive waited too long, and now youre leaving
Oh please dont take it all away
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep dont let the morning take him
