Many, many years ago on a distant shore

Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door

They travelled long and travelled far

Dark into the night

Yes, this is the place they've chosen

To build the Metal site.



Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn

Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin

The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way

Why they worship metal gods each and every day

By the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep

Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep



Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice

Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right

Metal church will find you, can't run very far

Metal church inside you, knows just who you are



No use in speaking out against anything we do

While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue

Now the story starts again, all the time is lost

Metal Church begins anew....

Saving souls that are lost.



Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice

Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right

Metal church will find you, can't run very far

Metal church inside you, knows just who you are



The metal church
