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, who'll be the sacrifice 

Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right 

Metal church will find you, can't run very far 

The metal church inside you, 

It knows just who you are, 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, who'll be the sacrifice 

Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right 

Metal church will find you, can't run very far 

The metal church inside you, 

It knows just who you are, knows just who you are.
