Iron fists are pumping
The beat is driving hard
Cutting like a razor
They're riffing down the chords
Sweat is dripping on the floor
In the gleaming light
The beast is breathing fire
Thunder strikes the night

Living for the moment
Living for the day
Don't care for tomorrow
Don't care what they say
Raise your glasses high

And keep that fire burning
Keep the amber hot
Never lose the thunder
Never stop to rock
Raise your fist
And set your spirit free
Heavy metal
Is our chosen way to be

Furious, going wild
Rocking to the beat
Soaking up the energy
The power and the heat

This is the medicine
The one and only cure
No flavours added
It's sheer and pure
So if you're feeling ill
Just take the pill

And keep that fire burning
Keep the amber hot
Never lose the thunder
Never stop to rock
Raise your fist
And set your spirit free
Heavy metal is our deal

Out there is a shadow
Lurking in the dark
Creeping up unseen
Straight in your heart
Take heed - when indifference
Is trying to take your soul
Turn on the music
And get back in control

This is the drug
The one and only cure
No flavours added
Sheer and pure
Raise your glasses high

And keep that fire burning - oh oh oh
And keep the amber hot - oh oh oh
No, never lose your thunder - oh oh oh
Come on and raise your fist
Bang your head

And keep that fire burning
Keep the amber hot
Never lose your thunder
Never stop to rock
Raise your fist
And set your spirit free
Shout it out
Loud and proud
Heavy metal
Is our chosen way to be
