They have chosen us And we have heard the call Go and tell rumor with our sound Crack walls and shake the ground Fight tonight for metal One and all ('Cause) We believe in the power and the might 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 We promised that we would When 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 We promised that we would When 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 We promised that we would When 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
