The days of old are closing fast, eternally they cannot last

You give it all to get ahead and no more paying dues

You try your best to survive by getting out and playing live

Struggling to get ahead, onward we will march

Dirty hair and dirty clothes

No more cocaine up your nose

Debauchery is no more

No more groupies, no more whores

Record labels, no support

Booking gigs and selling short

Still there’s something deep inside

Sayin’ Heavy Metal Never Died!

Heavy Metal in your face

Heavy Metal steeplechase

Heavy Metal in your soul

Heavy Metal Rock ‘n Roll

Caught in a whirlwind, caught in a daze

Every night is set ablaze

Makin’ the biz, we sold our souls

For sex ‘n drugs ‘n rock ‘n roll

Each marquee says “sold out”

This is how we’re goin’ out

Hear the screaming, hear the cries

Because Heavy Metal Never Dies!

Heavy Metal in your face

Heavy Metal steeplechase

Heavy Metal in your soul

Heavy Metal Rock ‘n Roll!
