(Intro - [Massiver, langsamer Power Chord, Hallende Drums]) (Vocal – Tief und feierlich): From the depths of Hell, across the void we came... (Verse 1 - [Tempo switch to Mid-Fast, Chugging, Heavy Riff]) We fought the ancient demons, we faced the unholy fire, We walked the path of rock 'n' roll, fueled by pure desire! The legend was a promise, the prophecy was true, The secret of the ages, forged by me and you! No mere mortal fingers could hold its mighty grace! We carved our names in thunder, in this sacred, metal place! (Pre-Chorus - [Building up, Drum Rolls]) The cosmos bends its knee! The time for doubt is done! (Vocal Rises to High Belt): The ultimate relic has been won! (Chorus - [MASSIVES, stampfendes Mid-Tempo mit Chor-Gesang/Gang Vocals]) P. O. D.! (The Pick of Destiny!) IT'S MINE! P. O. D.! (The Pick of Destiny!) DIVINE! Feel the power surge through every single nerve! The AXE OF FURY now commands the world we serve! (Screaming ad-lib): COMMAND! (Guitar Riff Interlude - [Short, triumphant, high-gain melody]) (Verse 2 - [Tempo remains Mid-Fast, focus on the result]) We look upon the wreckage of every broken foe, The weak and the pretentious all lie cold down below. The critics tried to stop us, the media called us fake, But all they hear is roaring in the massive sound we make! We hold the fate of music! We hold the ultimate might! We took the simple challenge and we crushed it in the night! (Pre-Chorus - [Building up, intense Snare Drum hits]) The darkness screams our names! The battle has been won! (Vocal Rises to High Belt): The ultimate relic has been won! (Final Chorus - [MASSIVES, stampfendes Mid-Tempo mit Chor-Gesang/Gang Vocals]) P. O. D.! (The Pick of Destiny!) IT'S MINE! P. O. D.! (The Pick of Destiny!) DIVINE! Feel the power surge through every single nerve! The AXE OF FURY now commands the world we serve! (Sustained, Triumphant High Note): WE ARE THE TRUE KIIIIINGS! (Outro - [Slowing down, Guitar sustains the final, long note and fades]) (Deep growl/spoken): The Rock... is eternal.
