[D. Wayne / K. Vanderhoof / C. Wells]



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!
