Where were you when it happened?
Where could you be found?
Were you at the front of the stage?
Or in the underground

From S.F. out to old bridge
New York back to L.A.
The world of metal changed forever
Back in the day

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren't there
It doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't understand

Live to die and die to play
Every day and place
Leave a path of metal
Across the world from stage to stage

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren't there
It doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't understand

[ Solo ]

In denim and leather
We were all part of one force
Knocked rock n' roll on its a__
And put metal on the course

Higher! (4x)

Back in the day
You weren't there
It doesn't matter
Because you wouldn't understand

This is our way of life
A life that was born free
To follow orders how to live
Was never meant to be

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Peals of thunder, sheets of lighting
The power hits the stage
The music was exciting
The mania raged

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

We all had the fever
Our ears started to ring
Feeding this wildfire
Consuming everything

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Metal's king back then
And still is to this day
Others imitate or challenge
But it never goes away

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh.
