Across the wasteland, over blood red seas A mighty rider comes with blackened steel He is here to free the earth By the gift of metal, by a sacred curse Now his union has conquered the world Heavy metal shall rise And from now on our voices will be heard We cannot die Heavy metal desire Devastation and fire And now that the rider is rising his shield See the sword he is baring, the axe he wields By the blood of the ancients his mission ahead Breaking the walls that betrayers have set When the wailing of guitars is heard Our hearts fill with pride Hear the Majesty, we will be there We cannot die Heavy metal desire Devastation and fire Heavy metal desire Desolation messiah
