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!
