Many moons ago
When the raw was new
They had forsaken the melody
They had forsaken you
So we brandished our axes
Toured in a sketchy van
Assaulting the streets with metal
All across the land
Remember when i told you to flee?
You'd not have suffered had you listened to me
On and on 500 stong
Will me survive 500 more?
Can't be sure
500 deeds compose our lore
As we bleed - for days of yore
Many miles we've covered
Rivers of booze we've swam
Assaulting the streets with metal
But who gives a damn?
Countless friends and enemies
Made along the way
That's just rock'n'roll baby
And we're here to stay
We told you we were born in jail
Metal is freedom, and you all paid our bail.
Coast to coast and in-between
Across the pond to the olde world
Paving new streets with metal
And trails of ol'girls
As we raise the bottles
Toast this hellish feat
We shall not rest
On our laurels
The mission, it ain't complete
