In our age of wicked lies

You must fight to stay alive

They will cry to break you down

The source of light must be found

Metal warriors, pick up your sword

And we will march forth

Oh god, you must arm yourself well

To fight the evil demons of hell

Never surrender, never give in

They will oppose, but metal will win

Although the years will take their toll

You must fight to save your soul

They will cry to crush your dreams

Ignore temptation, they aren’t what they seem

With mace and chain in hand

Our hammers held to the sky

We will never die

Bridge

We fight for our glory

We fight for our pride

Heavy Metal tells our story

For metal we will Ride

And when all seems lost

Do not stop to count the cost

Do not suffer the pain of despair

Heavy Metal will fill the air

Steel Helmet and coat of maille

We are destined to be free

Chained and shackled we’ll never be

Bridge, Chorus

Shining kingdom of the past

At the gates standing fast

We’ll never let them in

Not Death’s evil grin

Take your battle axe

Stereo cranked to the max

Heavy Metal loud and untamed

You will never be the same

Bridge, Chorus
