It started many years ago, out of the black country

The seed became the embryo, for all on earth to see

Like stealth the word spread mouth to mouth, all corners

of the land

And soon the thing began to grow, and get right out of hand



From the concrete jungle

The smoke, the dirt, the grime

Could not contain the hunger

It grew and grew in time, into a



Monster. Monster of rock

They could never bind it

It vowed to reach the top

Monster. Monster of rock

They could never bind it

Impossible to stop



Took the sound across the seas, the people stood in awe

At last the sound had come to them

That they¹d been waiting for



And millions roared, and millions cheered,

This spectacle on stage

And everyone went crazy as it bellowed out in rage



From the concrete jungle

The smoke, the dirt, the grime

Could not contain the hunger

I grew and grew in time, into a



Monster. Monster of rock

They could never bind it

It vowed to reach the top

Monster. Monster of rock

They could never bind it

Impossible to stop



From the concrete jungle

The smoke, the dirt, the grime

Could not contain the hunger

It grew and grew in time, into a



Monster. Monster of rock

They could never bind it

It vowed to reach the top

Monster. Monster of rock

They could never bind it

Impossible to stop
