Lyrics :
1. No life `till leather
We`re gonna kick some ass tonight
Got the metal madness
When our fans start screamin` it`s right, Well alright Yeah

When we start to rock we never, will stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

2. Know our fans are insane
We`re gonna blow this place away
With volume higher
Than anything today. The only way

When we start to rock we never, will stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

3. With all out screamin`
We`re gonna rip right through your brain
We got the lethal power
It`s causin` you sweet pain, Oh, sweet pain

When we start to rock we never, will stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
