Michael Sweet de Stryper ha alabado abiertamente a Judas Priest, a quienes considera su “banda de metal favorita de todos los tiempos”. Ha reconocido que está orgulloso de ser fan y ha asegurado que una gira de Judas Priest y Stryper sería increíble. Sin embargo, lo que más controversia ha generado ha sido su apreciación sobre Crown Of Horns, el nuevo single de Judas Priest.
Sweet ha identificado que la canción trata sobre Jesús y ha asegurado que eso “requiere agallas”. Sin embargo, una parte de los fans de Michael Sweet han puesto en duda que la referencia a Jesús esté implícita en esta canción de Judas Priest. El matiz de ‘horns’ (cuernos) en lugar de ‘thorns’ (espinas) es lo que ha generado más dudas en el tema Crown Of Horns (Corona de cuernos). Michael Sweet ha adjuntado la letra de la canción.
Michael Sweet:
“Por esto @judaspriest es mi banda de metal favorita de todos los tiempos. Consistencia. Talento. Canciones.
Y, tienen el coraje de escribir una canción sobre Jesús.
Eso requiere agallas. Estoy muy orgulloso de ser un fan.
¡Una gira de Priest y Stryper sería increíble! Solo digo…”
I learned the hard way
That what you dream for
Comes from the pain you hold inside
I’m on a long road
There is no answer
You have to hold the love you find
I’d wait so helpless
But love was waiting
Just like an angel in the dark
Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head
Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed
The days seemed endless
No sense of calling
Until the daylight came to be
I thought of rapture
To end this capture
Then something grew inside of me
I found my way now
And I am soaring
Almost touching every star
Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head
Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed
Heavy is the crown of horns that kept the faith so bright
Heavy is the crown of horns that gave me all this life
I’ll call out to the world tonight
To raise your horns up high
I’m calling to the world tonight
To let your voices fly
I’ll call out to the world tonight
Give thanks for we are saved
I’m calling to the world tonight
To never be afraid
The end of longing
A place to rest now
I found the answer to my prayer
I’m on my way now
And I am soaring
I’m almost touching every star
Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head
Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed
Heavy is the crown of horns that kept the faith so bright
Heavy is the crown of horns that gave me all this life
Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head
Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed
Heavy is the crown of horns that kept the faith so bright
Heavy is the crown of horns that gave me all this life
