"For The Love Of Metal" lyrics - DEE SNIDER

I once was under the blade
I was once the last in line
I was the victim of changes
You can't stop rock n' roll, it is my life
This is my painkiller
My obsession runs deep
For the love of all things loud
United worldwide fills me with pride

I do it for the love
I release my hate
Set my soul ablaze

For the love of metal
For the love of metal (metal)

As long as I can remember
It's been there for me
I run through the hills
And over the mountain for victory
I've been south of heaven
I don't wanna burn in hell
I've stood strong throughout the years
Live to tell I was born to raise hell

I do it for the love
I release my hate
Set our souls ablaze
We do it for the love
We release our hate
When we take the stage

For the love of metal
For the love of metal (metal)

I do it for the love of metal
There's no other way
I do it for the love of metal
This is my escape

I do it for the love
I release my hate
I feel its strength...
Unleash the metal!

We are all fucking metal!

I do it for the love of metal
There's no other way
I do it for the love of metal
It gives me strength
