Lyrics:

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 burning 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
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 burnt
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 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

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 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
