Masters of destruction, in for the kill Dismantle their enemies, at their will Hammer smash! Pounding nails! Invaders attack! Friends and foes! War gods have risen Armageddon has begun, wrath of evil, burns like the sun! [Chorus:] Unleash the dogs of war Open the gates! Born in Sodom, three thousand years ago Dark lords of thunder, imprisoned down below From the belly of the devil, from the breast of sin retribution is coming, Bow to the iron dogs War gods have risen Armageddon has begun, wrath of evil, burns like the sun! [Chorus] Angels descending, the battle is commencing Forever immortal ? killing machines, soldiers of death Masters of destruction, in for the kill Dismantle their enemies, at their will Hammer Smash! Pounding nails! Invaders attack! Friends and foes! War gods have risen Armageddon has begun, wrath of evil, burns like the sun! [Chorus]
