It Was Metal

Yeah!

In the beginning when all was black
An explosion cracked the sky
Volcanoes erupted, the earth was corrupted
By the sound that terrifies
From the chaos came savage man
To feast on the flesh of the beasts he slew
And at the cave end discovered
The fire and the thunder, the strongest sound ever knew

It was metal, heavy metal
And it's been here since time began
Electrifying and unifying
A sonic gift to man

In 1913, the Rite of Spring symphony
Made the crowd lose control
Then the blues man sealed the crossroads deal
With the devil for his soul to bring us rock 'n' roll
And now you can hear it pounding
There's joy in the screams
We tell our stories with ear-splitting glory
Metal reigns supreme

It was metal, heavy metal
And it's been here since time began
Electrifying and unifying
A sonic gift to man

It was metal

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We strike down the unbelievers
Defenders heed the call
Demons tremble when the legion assembles
We let the hammer fall

It was metal, heavy metal
And it's been here since time began
It's electrifying, it's unifying
The sound that rules the land

It was metal, heavy metal
It was metal, heavy metal
It was metal, heavy metal
