You say you know all there is to know To reach the top you've got a long, long way to go These battle scars have taught me well Enough to know how to rise up from below Here's what I want you to know If you wanna rock forever, the target's set, all you need is to get there Get your dose of what's essential, grab your axe and go Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death So many more have crossed the path Some walked the walk, some talked and didn't last Just like an eagle to its prey You play to win, you've come here and now you will stay If you wanna rock forever, the target's set, all you need is to get there To those who fight for Heavy Metal, grab your axe and go Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death You don't need sympathy for days you've been lost The future is now, take advantage or you'll pay the cost You're living trapped inside an endless daze Confusion, frustration, ambitions gone up in a blaze Listen to me, in time you'll see That progress in life comes after you're forced to succeed The world's in your hands, get up make a stand Raise your fist and at our command Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Headbang 'til Death Give 'em Hell!
