Yeah, we started at level one
Back then, shortcuts, there were none
Just a party of four, in rock we are brothers, oh, yeah
Grabbed the armour and the sword
A guitar with broken chords
As we set forth on our journey together

Like a coin-op our game had begun
Beat 'em, fight 'em up, we'll play till we're done

Ten years in the slums
Not a day in paradise
Ten years in the slums
And the devil on our side
We don't care how the hell it turns
What we're gonna do? We will always burn
Ten years in the slums

Yeah, we got at level two
We gave hell and the devil his due
Brought the guns ablaze and tear all to pieces, oh, yeah
Then the monster at level three
On the fourth we set him free
And we walked the Hell of Fame together (Stage five)

Like a coin-op our game had begun (Game had begun)
Beat 'em, fight 'em up, we'll play till we're done

Ten years in the slums
Not a day in paradise
Ten years in the slums
And the devil on our side
We don't care how the hell it turns
What we're gonna do? We will always burn
Ten years in the slums, yeah, yeah

Through the years we might not have reached the top, yeah
Still down in the slums, we're proud of what we've done

Ten years in the slums (Ten years in the slums)
Ten years in the slums (Ten years in the slums)
Ten years in the slums (We don't need your appreciation)
(Ten years in the slums)
Ten years in the slums (We don't need your appreciation)
Yeah

Ten years in the slums
Not a day in paradise
Ten years in the slums
And the devil on our side
We don't care how the hell it turns
What we're gonna do? We will always burn
Ten years in the slums

Ten years
Ten years
Ten years
Ten years
Yeah
