In the beginning there was silence and darkness All across the earth there came the wind and a hole in the sky Thunder and lightning came crashing down, hit the earth and split the ground Fire burned high in the sky From down below, fire melted the stone The ground shook and started to pound The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good They said to play it louder than hell, they promised that we would But losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die We are true believers, it's our turn to show the world In the fire of heavy metal we were burned It's more than our religion, it's the only way to live But the enemies of metal we can't forgive Cause we believe in the power and the light And the gods who made metal are with us tonight The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good They said to play it louder than hell, they promised that we would But losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die We believe in the power and the light And the gods who made metal are with us tonight We're here tonight for heavy metal, are you ready in the hall? They have chosen us and we have heard the call Gonna tear the roof off with our sound, crack the walls and shake the ground Fight tonight for metal, one and all Cause we believe in the power and the light And the gods who made metal are with us tonight The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good They said to play it louder than hell, they promised that we would But losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good They said to play it louder than hell, they promised that we would But losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good They said to play it louder than hell, they promised that we would But losers say it's over with, you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna, never gonna die Never gonna die Never gonna die
