Where were you when it happened Where could you be found Were you at the front of the stage Or in the underground
From S.F. out to Old Brit New York to L.A. The world of metal changed forever Back in the day
Well that was back in the day And if you weren't there It doesn't matter anyway Because you wouldn't understand
Live to die Die to play Every day and place Leave a path of metal Across a world from stage to stage
Well that was back in the day And if you weren't there It doesn't matter anyway Because you wouldn't understand
In denim and Leather We were a one for all-all for one force Knocked Rock n Roll on it's ass And put metal on the course
Back in the Day If you wern't there It doesn't matter Cause you wouldn't understand... This is our way of life A life that was born free To follow orders how to live Was never meant to be
Hints of thunder, seeds of lightning The power hits the stage The music was exciting The mania raged
We all had the fever Our ears started to ring Feeding this wildfire Consuming everything
Metal's king back then And still is to this day others imitate or challenge But it never goes away
