Many, many years ago on a distant shore
Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door
They travelled long and travelled far

Dark into the night
Yes, this is the place they've chosen
To build the metal site.


Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn
Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin

The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way
Why they worship metal gods each and every day
By the hand of oberon, dark into the deep

Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep

Metal church, unholy church, who'll be the sacrifice

Metal church, the only church, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, can't run very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are


No use in speaking out against anything we do
While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue

Now the story starts again, all the time is lost
Metal church begins anew...
Saving souls that are lost.


Metal church, unholy church, who'll be the sacrifice
Metal church, the only church, don't you know the time is right

Metal church will find you, can't run very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are


The metal church
