From the earth of old England

Came a force full of shattering sound

All that were living and breathing

Felt it quaking and breaking new ground

It mastered our minds and lit up our lives

With power to fight all through the night

PRECHORUS:

We honor those who have created this sound

We bury them deep in hallowed ground

We gather tonight to raise our fists up high

As long as we are here True Metal will never die

Will never die... True Metal... Will never die...

True Metal... Will never die... True Metal

As long as we are here heavy metal will never die!

CHORUS:

All hail the Supremacy Of Steel!

Fools fail and before us they will kneel

With this nail their coffins will be sealed

We're here to reclaim it

The Metal Empire!

The Metal Empire!

They told me they burned all metal

They said heavy metal had dies

We gathered this bold band of rebels

And swore we'd defend with our lives

With damaging drums and grinding guitar

We played every night

With leather and spikes

REPEAT CHORUS/REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO: BROHDEN/GARCIA

Seeds of steel have been planted

Now metal stands stronger and proud

The wishes of vikings are granted

All hail the lords of the loud

Onward the spirit of metal survives

Thrashes and thrives for the rest of our lives

REPEAT PRECHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Grown Men Play Metal!

Heavy Metal!

Long Live True Metal!
