Bang your head against the stage like you never did before
We will burn this town tonight, to deadly metal we want bang
Headbanging is the sense of life, we play it hard and loud
Blood is running fast tonight because future there's no more
Bang bang it must never end
this way is our only chance
Die in blood and pain tonight
never ends the metal fight
Thrash till death
We were born to sacrifice your souls to bloody metal
Death is behind us all, lose the fear of killin' hard
Metal is the only aim you have to live your life for
Thrash until you are knocked down, metal is your last resort
