A merciless tempest A flash underground Sky ripped to pieces The flames all around Revolts on the sidewalks Screams in the dark The world sinks in chaos The world falls apart I'm moving on with business Like any other day And nothing ever stops me I've found my sanctuary A place to face the lonely race With madness all around We've found a way to get out of the game Sharing the thing that we've found Hellbent for metal That's what we are Hellbent for metal Straight from the heart Infernal destruction I see the downfall The eve of extinction I don't care at all The air that I breathe Purified by the sound The powers within make my world go around I really can't be bothered Like any other day 'Cause I have got my music I've found my sanctuary A place to face the lonely race With madness all around We are the same We're not playing the game Together we're screaming out loud Hellbent for metal That's what we are Hellbent for metal Straight from the heart With all my love Down to the core A metal heart I'm living for A place to face the lonely race With madness all around We are the same We’re not playing the game Together we’re screaming out loud Hellbent for metal That’s what we are Hellbent for metal Straight from the heart Hellbent for metal That’s what we are Hellbent for metal Straight from the heart
