Black is the night, metal we fight

Power amps set to explode.

Energy screams, magic and dreams

Satan records the first note.

We chime the bell, chaos and hell

Metal for maniacs pure.

Faster than steel, fortune on wheels

Brain haemorrhage is the cure.

 

 

For BLACK METAL

lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll

 

 

Freaking so wild, nobodys mild

Giving it all that you got.

Wild is so right, metal tonight

Faster than over the top.

Open the door, enter hell's core

Black is the code for tonight.

Atomic force, feel no remorse

Crank up the amps now its night

 

 

BLACK METAL

 

 

lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll

metal ten fold through the deadly black hole

riding hell's stallions bareback and free

taking our chances with raw energy

 

 

Come ride the night with us

Rock hard and fight

United my legions we stand

Freak hard and wild for us

Give up your soul

Live for the quest satan's band

 

 

Against the odds, black metal gods

Fight to achieve our goal

Casting a spell, leather and hell

Black metal gods rock 'n roll

Building up steam, nuclear screams

War-heads are ready to fight

Black leather hounds, faster than sound

Metal our purpose in life

 

 

BLACK METAL

 

 

lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll
