The end of time has come, the day after.
Everything is black, the world is over.
There are no trees, all life has crumbled.
Cities tumbled down, man`s self-destruction.
[REPEAT]
Screams from deep below, what can they be?
Sounds of pounding metal, radiation creation.
A creature of strength and power so real.
Ascends from beneath, Metalshock to reveal.
Atomchild begins to grow, scans the barren zones,
Exploring his new home, he`s all alone...
Through days and nights he roams,
Upper streets and catacombs,
No life at all, but a megawatt wall.
Great wall stacks to the sky, scarred V lays nigh.
Reaches out his mighty fist, the power gives a hiss.
The louder it gets, the better he feels.
His secret unveils, Metalshock is revealed.
[CHORUS]
Pounding Metal across the land,
Life-giving magic in his hands,
The power chords raise the dead,
People come alive banging their heads.
Mankind now lives for Metal, it`s inside of us all.
The power from the shock, rise after we fall.
The creature of strength and power so real,
Returns us to Earth`s core until World War Four.
[CHORUS]
