Story Behind The Song

Coming through the midnight rain Quicker than a thunderbolt Steady like a rollin' train And twenty times as powerful

Song Description

Ain't no - runnin' for cover Can't stop - the coming thunder Don't wait for the dust to settle Raise a fist for heavy metal

Title: Heavy Metal (9/3/25)
Intro sequence, V riff 4x to open/establish vibe

(Vox start right on the first down beat. The singing is pretty steady, quickly paced)
Coming through the midnight rain
Quicker than a thunderbolt
Steady like a rollin' train
And twenty times as powerful
V2
Gonna make a brand-new sound
Something that will save your soul
Chiseled in the sands of time
By the gods of rock and roll
CH
Ain't no - runnin' for cover
Can't stop - the coming thunder
Don't wait for the dust to settle
Raise a fist for heavy metal
Heavy Metal, Heavy Metal,
Heavy Metal

X Hear it tearing down the walls
X Rippin' thru your neighborhood
X Started feelin' dangerous
X In every corner of the world
CH
Ain't no - runnin' for cover
Can't stop - the coming thunder
Don't wait for the dust to settle
Raise a fist for heavy metal

Don't wait for the dust to settle
Raise a fist for heavy metal

X That'll never end
