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.

Green Manalishi Lyrics
Judas Priest
With the Two-Pronged Crown)
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks,
And the night is so black that the darkness cooks,
And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do.
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad.
Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad.
Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see.
SOLO (both)
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown
All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down
Just taking my love, and slip away
Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
