Shrouded in forgotten mystery
Somewhere in the age of stone
Long before the written history
A caveman standing all alone
Pounding giant rocks together
Soon he would vanish in the dawn
Waking up the world forever
Heavy metal rages on

(Shout)
Had all the quiet we can take
Everybody!
(Shout)
Gonna make the planet shake
(Shout)
Heavy metal earthquake
(Shout)
We're here to rock this world awake
And metal rages on!

Later when the dragon slayer
Heard the sound of weapons clash
Silence didn't have a prayer
We're gonna make that metal crash
Echoes of the old rampages
After all the knights are gone
Rock beyond the Middle Ages
Heavy metal rages on

(Shout)
Had all the quiet we can take
Let me hear ya!
(Shout)
Gonna make the planet shake
(Shout)
Heavy metal earthquake
(Shout)
We're here to rock this world awake
And metal rages on!

Since the knight's in shining armor
Soldiers never question why
Those who hear the wild alarm
Are joining in the battle cry
(Rock)
Since prime evil men began it
Metal has been going strong
Power music rocks the planet
Heavy metal rages on

(Shout)
Had all the quiet we can take
Scream out loud!
(Shout)
Gonna make the planet shake
Everybody!
(Shout)
Heavy metal earthquake
(Shout)
We're here to rock this world awake

(Shout)
Had all the quiet we can take
Everybody!
(Shout)
Gonna make the planet shake
(Shout)
Heavy metal earthquake
(Shout)
We're here to rock this world awake
And metal rages on!
Rages on
