What are your guys' take on what this track means. Some say its religious, some say it has to do with Shrike. What do you all take from it?

Youtube video is here

And lyrics are below

Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
Hes half man and half machine

Rides the metal monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high

He is the painkiller
This is the painkiller

Planets devastated
MankinRAB on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas

Through boiling clouRAB of thunder
Blasting bolts of steel
Evils going under deadly wheels

He is the painkiller
This is the painkiller

Faster than a lazer bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns

Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
Theyve been brought back from the grave

With mankind ressurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from armageddon to the skies

He is the painkiller
This is the painkiller
Wings of steel painkiller
Deadly wheels painkiller
 
definitely my favorite Judas Priest album.

as for the meaning...I'd be more worried about some other Judas Priest songs, Hot Rockin (just watch the video), Hell Bent For Leather, You Say Yes, Trouble Shooter, Eat Me Alive, Turbo Lover and Ram It Down.
