Title: Heavy Metal (9/3/25)
Intro sequence, V riff 4x to open/establish vibe
V1
(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

V3
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

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
BR
X It's a wild ride
X That'll never end
X It's a big dose
X Of adrenaline

V4
Coming through the midnight rain
Quicker than a thunderbolt

And twenty times as powerful
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

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
