Back in the days of early metal
In '82 we formed to stay
First under "Vortex" and "Avenger"
In "Tankard" then we found our way
We found our way
And still we play
From the first day
We're on our way
Even in times
When Thrash exhausted
When fame was gone
We held the flag up high
We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Until we go mad
We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead
After the 90's great depression
When Metal limped and Grunge did play
Then there was the big revival
We have never lost our way
We found our way
And still we play
From the first day
We're on our way
Never broke up
When we faced trouble
Second-rate beer
Cheap hotels, lousy gigs
We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Until we go mad
We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead
(Solo)
We're limelight hogs
Nothing can part us
No reasons for a fucking reunion
We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Until we go mad
We burn!, burn like fire!
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead
But one day really fucking mad!!!
We burn!, burn like fire!
Until we go mad
We thrash!, Thrashing higher!
Not one day been dead
