They can't stop us
Let 'em try!
For heavy metal
We will die!
Quit my job this morning, said forever
I would hold my head up, high
Cause' I need metal in my life
Just like an eagle needs to fly
So I walked outside into the street
From a hall I heard, thunder and screams
Yeah!
I walked inside so I could hear
And the guy beside me, gave me a beer
He had his fist up in the air
And called me brother, said "my friends are over there"
They call themselves immortals
They're the truest of the true
And in that very moment
I was born again like you!
They said, hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal, louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
They can't stop us
Let 'em try!
For heavy metal
We would die!
(They can't stop us)
(Let 'em try!)
(For heavy metal)
(We would die!)
Brothers! Stand beside me, there's a battle on
Know my words are true
Now there's a battle for true metal
They're marching, they're marching on me and you
Ten thousand strong are here tonight
With twenty thousand fists up in the air (Yeah!)
The power of true metal's calling you
It's everywhere
Hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal, louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
They can't stop us
Let 'em try
For heavy metal
We would die!
(They can't stop us)
(Let 'em try)
(For heavy metal)
(We would die!)
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal, louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
They can't stop us
Let 'em try
For heavy metal
We would die!
(They can't stop us)
(Let 'em try)
(For heavy metal)
(We would die!)
Hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal, louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
They can't stop us
Let 'em try
For heavy metal
We would die!
(They can't stop us)
(Let 'em try)
(For heavy metal)
(We would die!)
Hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal, louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
(They can't stop us)
(Let 'em try)
(For heavy metal)
(We would die!)
Hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal, louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
Louder than hell!
They can't stop us
Let 'em try
For heavy metal
We would die!
About This Song
"Die For Metal" is Manowar's ultimate declaration of devotion to heavy metal as both music and lifestyle, presenting the genre as something worth ultimate sacrifice and brotherhood. The song tells the story of someone who quits their job to fully embrace the metal community, finding instant kinship and purpose among fellow metalheads who call themselves "immortals." Musically, it features Manowar's signature bombastic style with thunderous drums, soaring vocals, and anthemic choruses designed for crowd participation. The lyrics elevate metal fandom to an almost religious level, portraying it as essential as breathing and creating a sense of tribal identity among believers. This track exemplifies Manowar's role as metal's most unapologetic champions, turning what critics might see as obsessive fandom into a badge of honor and source of meaning.
