Lyrics:

Where were you when it happened

Where could you be found

Were you at the front of the stage

Or in the underground



From S.F. out to Old Brit

New York back to L.A.

The world of metal changed forever

Back in the day



Well that was back in the day

And if you weren't there

It doesn't matter anyway

Because you wouldn't understand



Live to die

Die to play

Every day and place

Leave a path of metal

Across a world from stage to stage



Well that was back in the day

And if you weren't there

It doesn't matter anyway

Because you wouldn't understand



In denim and Leather

We were a one for all-all for one force

Knocked Rock n Roll on it's ass

And put metal on the course



Back in the Day

If you wern't there

It doesn't matter

Cause you wouldn't understand...



This is our way of life

A life that was born free

To follow orders how to live

Was never meant to be



Hints of thunder, seeds of lightning

The power hits the stage

The music was exciting

The mania raged



We all had the fever

Our ears started to ring

Feeding this wildfire

Consuming everything



Metal's king back then

And still is to this day

others imitate or challenge

But it never goes away
