Crank up the Marshalls, hot tubes amplified

Fists in the air, metal horns unified

Heavy metal kicking ass worldwide

From all social classes, we gather as one

Hey, hey, hey, metal for everyone

North, south, west and to the rising sun

Universal metal, has fused us through the years

Universal metal, for all the world to hear

Moshers make circles, so fast with their feet

Smashing their bodies, reverse and repeat

Banging their heads, enslaved to the driving beat

Patches are sewn onto many a vest

Filled with the names of the bands they like best

Black leather jackets worn at every fest

Universal heavy metal

You are, universal heavy metal

We are, universal heavy metal

We all are, universal heavy metal

Screaming heavy metal, all we want to hear

Loud, raging thunder, music to our ears

Heavy metal inside, heavy metal out

Got that metal fever, what we’re all about

In cold winter nights, our souls are still on fire

Flames burning higher, making music like a choir

Ultimate experience, seems we get possessed

When we play music we love the best
