It had been for ages
We'd pushed it to the wall
Playing all night long, sacrifice our soul
From within our cages
Creation is our call
Music makes us strong, and will keep us feeling whole
We sold our soul
To heavy metal
Despite our many blunders
We never stay at bay
Music show us wonders
We harvest along the way
Been on many benders
Followed by deceit
Inspiration graced us splendours
That we lay before your feet
Listen to us growl
It's stronger than us all
Tailspin through our lives
Like a wrecking ball
Not behaving at our best
As if it's meant to be
We gotta run away
Pay the f*cking price, nothing is free
On the short and narrow, we've spent too much time
To end up with nothing to show in our hand
Shot in the back with arrows, we're victims of this crime
Create ourselves the path we take to reach the promised land
We sold our soul to heavy metal
The hand that feeds us is the one that kills us
Clarity has finally struck
We need this to change our luck
We sold our soul
We sold our soul
To heavy metal
For this noble cause, we left everything behind
So we can take the wheel on this crazy ride
To the sound of the drum that leads our life
Off the beaten path to find real pride
We keep on riding
