I once was under the blade I was once the last in line I was the victim of changes You can't stop rock n' roll, it is my life This is my painkiller My obsession runs deep For the love of all things loud United worldwide fills me with pride I do it for the love I release my hate Set my soul ablaze For the love of metal For the love of metal (metal) As long as I can remember It's been there for me I run through the hills And over the mountain for victory I've been south of heaven I don't wanna burn in hell I've stood strong throughout the years Live to tell I was born to raise hell I do it for the love I release my hate Set our souls ablaze We do it for the love We release our hate When we take the stage For the love of metal For the love of metal (metal) I do it for the love of metal There's no other way I do it for the love of metal This is my escape I do it for the love I release my hate I feel its strength... Unleash the metal! We are all f*cking metal! I do it for the love of metal There's no other way I do it for the love of metal It gives me strength
