Oh gods! what can you? Drink! from the nectar of the gods! Metal! will rule the world again! Drink! from the nectar of the gods! Give the world its life So many years have passed us by that black cloud still is ever nigh With everlasting crimes of hate mankind seems doomed to a morbid fate Oh foolish mortals! can’t you see? in metal there’s eternity! But common man has common site too wrapped up in his daily plight Help! save us now! Oh gods! what can you do? Drink! from the nectar of the gods! Metal! will rule the world again! Drink! from the nectar of the gods! Give the world its life
