In our early days we played all this metal 

Whoever tried to knock some sense into us all. 

They said our music and our life was dead and gone 

They said we're all just gonna be the second to the none! 

Not for money! 

Not for money! 

Not for money – we were born! 

No surrender 

Crusaders of metal!

Denim and leather will survive.

All for money, world is wasted 

And that's not our music's fault.

And don't they ever really dare 

To shift the blame on my rock! 

But their time has gone,

Wiped from the earth 

Shadows of time.

And there'll be no more dreams,

Illusions are gone 

And no hesitations.

The crowds of pop starts

Have occupied the top 

It's just the money matters, they will never stop!

Machine of show business will chew 

And spit you out.

Is selling place in charts, that's what is all about.

All for money.

All for money!

All for money – it's your life!

And you, freaks are not allowed 

Into this shining paradise.

All for money, grief and pleasure 

You just flow with the stream.

You will understand sometimes 

That someday you've lost your dream.

But their time has gone,

Wiped from the earth 

Shadows of time.

And there'll be no more dreams,

Illusions are gone 

And no hesitations.

But times are changing, 

And it's not your bloody turn.

We'll have our own chances for metal we were born!

And let them call us savage, they’re no power here 

We'll go out and play and then just have more beer! 

Life for money,

Love for money,

They are wasted and they're damned!

But we'll never sell our souls 

For this glamour paradise.

Not all in this life is for money 

Let our music be the proof 

Take away that life long pain 

All we did was not in vain! 

But their time has gone,

Wiped from the earth 

Shadows of time.

And there'll be no more dreams,

Illusions are gone 

And no hesitations.
