Metal Church Lyrics
Many, many years ago on a distant shore
Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door
They travelled long and travelled far
Darkness through the night
Yes, this is the place they've chosen
To build another site
Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn
Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin
The crazies stand before them while the others wait
Why they worship metal gods each and every day
[Inaudible]
All the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep
Metal church, unholy, can't you be the sacrifice
Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, comes from very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are
No use in speaking out against anything we do
[Inaudible]
Now the story starts again, all the time is lost
Metal Church begins to do....
Watch the souls become lost
Metal church, unholy, can't you be the sacrifice
Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, comes from very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are
The metal church!
Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door
They travelled long and travelled far
Darkness through the night
Yes, this is the place they've chosen
To build another site
Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin
The crazies stand before them while the others wait
Why they worship metal gods each and every day
[Inaudible]
All the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep
Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, comes from very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are
[Inaudible]
Now the story starts again, all the time is lost
Metal Church begins to do....
Watch the souls become lost
Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, comes from very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are

This song epitomises and defines heavy metal.
It is impossible not to rock out and play air guitar and drums while listening to this song.
By the way, these lyrics are slightly incorrect.
"The crazies stand before them while the others wait"
is actually
"The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way".
the first [inaudible] is "by the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep"
the second [inaudible] is "While the men of Earth they sleep, they haven't any clue".
Ba da da bop Ba da da bop! The music alone took us to church. What a true metal song. Great to be a teen back in the early to mid 80s. This song mad me feel a part of something huge and hate poser metal and new wave more than ever. The Metal Church will find you cant run very far!
The title track explores the idea of a clandestine community formed around a shared passion for metal music, treating it as a religion or belief system. It depicts a devotion to the dark aspects of human nature, the allure of secret knowledge, and the power of music to inspire and guide its followers. It portrays it as a secretive and hidden society that worships metal music as its religion and one who is drawn to the forbidden and embraces the evil things they do. They talk of a scene from the past where a group of individuals gathered in secret to establish the "metal site," a place dedicated to their worship. Their metal congregation, driven by evil, lust, and hatred, chants a hymn that reflects the roots of sinful behavior.
