(Intro - [Fast, Relentless Double-Bass Drumming, Thrash Riff]) (High, sustained Shriek): AAAAAH! The final word! (Verse 1 - [Aggressive Tempo, Shredding Rhythm Guitar]) The world will crash and burn, the skies will turn to rust, All the feeble music will crumble into dust. You saw the pop songs vanish, the disco lights all fade, The fake rock crumbled down beneath the final great cascade. They tried to kill the monster, they tried to seal the tomb, But nothing can defeat the righteous, glorious doom! (Pre-Chorus - [Building Tension, Guitar Riff Accent]) The truth is etched in fire, the prophecy is old, This is the only story that will ever be told! (Vocal Rises to High Belt): You cannot stop the rhythm! You cannot break the sound! This sacred WALL OF FURY will shake the battleground! (Chorus - [Maximum Speed, High-Pitched Melodic Vocal]) IT IS THE METAL! It lives forevermore! It stood the test of time, beyond the final war! You tried to kill it once, YOU FAILED, YOU WEAKENED FOOL! THE METAL will return to claim its brutal, iron rule! (Shout): NO ONE! CAN DESTROY! THE METAL! (Guitar Solo - [EPIC, Fast Tapping and Melodic Shredding, Wailing Whammy]) (Rhythm section should be highly complex and fast) (Verse 2 - [Fast and Tight, Focus on Defiance]) The poser bands arrived with makeup and soft sound, They thought their trendy nonsense would put us in the ground. But Metal waited patient, in the dark and in the deep, While all those feathered hairdos slowly fell asleep. We are the faithful soldiers who guard the hidden flame, We shout the only gospel, we roar the mighty name! (Pre-Chorus - [Building Tension, Drum Roll]) The truth is etched in fire, the prophecy is old, This is the only story that will ever be told! (Vocal Rises to High Belt): You cannot stop the rhythm! You cannot break the sound! This sacred WALL OF FURY will shake the battleground! (Final Chorus - [Maximum Speed, Higher Octave, Finality]) IT IS THE METAL! It lives forevermore! It stood the test of time, beyond the final war! You tried to kill it once, YOU FAILED, YOU WEAKENED FOOL! THE METAL will return to claim its brutal, iron rule! (Shout): NO ONE! CAN DESTROY! THE METAL! (Outro - [Tempo remains Fast, Massive Guitar Riff Repeat]) (Spoken, commanding): The Metal is eternal. (Guitar Riff continues, ends with a final, massive sustained chord and feedback) FOREVER!
