Robert John Arthur "Rob" Halford (born 25 August 1951) is an English singer and songwriter, who is best known as the lead vocalist for the Grammy Award-winning heavy metal band Judas Priest. AllMusic says of Halford: "There have been few vocalists in the history of heavy metal whose singing style has been as influential and instantly recognizable", possessing a voice which is "able to effortlessly alternate between a throaty growl and an ear-splitting falsetto". Halford was voted number 33 in the greatest voices in rock by Planet Rock listeners in 2009. In addition to his work with Judas Priest, he has been involved with several side projects, including Fight, 2wo and Halford.

Night Fall
by: Rob HalfordNightfall
Halford
Composição: Mike Chlasciak; Patrick Lachman; Rob Halford
You love is killing me,
It draws me to the dark
Your veil of ecstasy,
That leaves the telling mark
The spell you cast inside,
Is stabbing through my heart
It reaches deep within,
It´s pulling me apart
Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you´re in control
Your love´s still haunting me,
It draws me into black
Your veil of fantasy,
Won´t let my soul come back
The spell has taken all,
I can´t release my mind
I´ve lost my heart to you,
You´re too cruel to be kind
Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you´re in control
Night Fall, I called and you came
