Lyrics
[Intro – Spoken over slow, crushing Sabbath-style riff]
In the smoke and the fire… the story begins…
[Verse 1]
Nineteen-seventy, Birmingham fog so thick,
Black Sabbath plugged in and the devil got sick.
Tony’s down-tuned riff cut like a blade through the night,
“Black Sabbath,” “Paranoid,” they birthed the metal light.
Deep Purple’s smoke, Zeppelin’s hammer came down,
Judas Priest leather, screaming “Breakin’ the Law” in every town.
[Pre-Chorus]
The amps were screaming, the kids were banging their heads,
From the factories of England, the heavy sound spread!
[Chorus]
Riff through time! Metal’s iron fist!
From Sabbath’s bells to the pit we exist!
Thrash, death, glam, and black – we never look back!
Heavy metal history – hear the thunder crack!
Riff through time! Louder, faster, meaner still!
We live for the riff and we always will!
[Verse 2]
Late seventies, NWOBHM storm hit the shore,
Iron Maiden, Saxon, Def Leppard roared.
Eighty-three – Kill ’Em All, Metallica led the charge,
Slayer’s Hell Awaits, Megadeth, Anthrax – the Big Four barrage!
Glam in L.A. painted the Sunset Strip red,
Motley Crue, Ratt, Poison – hairspray and party till dead.
[Pre-Chorus]
But underground the darkness was already awake,
Venom and Bathory called the second wave…
[Chorus]
Riff through time! Metal’s iron fist!
From Sabbath’s bells to the pit we exist!
Thrash, death, glam, and black – we never look back!
Heavy metal history – hear the thunder crack!
Riff through time! Louder, faster, meaner still!
We live for the riff and we always will!
[Bridge – Half-time, evil chugging riff]
Nineties came, nu-metal dropped the seven-string low,
Korn and Limp Bizkit let the new blood flow.
Norway’s black flame burned the churches down,
Death metal growls from Florida underground.
Two-thousands brought the core, the djent, the prog,
Symphonic nights and tech-death fog –
But every sub-genre still carries the flame,
The spirit of Iommi running through its veins!
[Guitar Solo – Epic, melodic, then blistering speed]
[Final Chorus – Double-time, gang vocals]
Riff through time! Metal’s iron fist!
From Sabbath’s bells to the mosh pit we exist!
Power, doom, folk, and grind – every era we find!
Heavy metal history – still blowin’ your mind!
Riff through time! Louder, faster, meaner still!
We live for the riff… and we never will…
DIE! (last power chord rings out)
[Outro – Slow, crushing Sabbath callback]
Turn it up… let the history ride…
Metal was born… and metal never died.
In the smoke and the fire… the story begins…
