Lyrics
Metal Rites
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An ancient force beckons me and to its call I heed
Wisdom of ten thousand years
The secrets on which we feed
There are those who wish to rob us
Of the power that sets us free
But ancient knowledge makes it clear
It's only jealousy
Hold one fist across your heart
Unite with horns to the heavens
Sacred sign of our fathers fore
Raised up high toward the sky
Metallum, recreo
Rise again my beloved friend
Apprime, aeternitas
Strong again until the end
We don't owe you a fucking thing
We stand by our metal rites
We won't bow for anyone
We stand by our metal rites
If they could take it all away
Then they try this very day
Clothing and symbols we wear
The flag that we display
Spoils their notion of security
And leads to their dismay
The metal rites are strong with us
Our fraternity lives again
Hold one fist across your heart
Unite with horns to the heavens
Sacred sign of our fathers fore
Raised up high toward the sky
Metallum, recreo
Rise again my beloved friend
Apprime, aeternitas
Strong again until the end
We don't owe you a fucking thing
We stand by our metal rites
We won't bow for anyone
We stand by our metal rites
Metallum, recreo
Apprime, aeternitas
Defend one thing and defend it well
Defend it like no other thing
Defend it till the day you die
Always defend your metal rites
We don't owe you a fucking thing
We stand by our metal rites
We won't bow for anyone
We stand by our metal rites
