What I love about this song is it introduces the theme of a particular character that intimidates and stalks humans. I must mention how delicious the guitar solo's are...

Actually if you look at the lyrics the Painkiller comes down to Earth to save it from some unnamed danger. I've always like to think that it was aliens.
