In the beginning there was silence and darkness

All across the earth

Then 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 is 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



We are the 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 might

And the gods who made metal are with us tonight



The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is 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



We believe in the power and the might

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 might

And the gods who made metal are with us tonight



The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is 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-acapo
