Raise the Flag

Call me a loafer - call me a quitter With a lack of use No direction, just imperfection Born to lose No reputation, no education Just make believe No happy-end in fairyland Don't misperceive They say: get real, here's the deal You're going down the drain But I'm intending to keep on standing Against the grain They don't know me at all It's the music that I'm bleeding for So raise the flag Raise the flag of metal Raise the flag The flag of heavy metal It's a vibe you can't describe If you know what I mean No stopping just rocking As long as lights will gleam Rock hard, ride free And live it loud I keep my thunder won't knuckle under Cause that's what life's about They don't know us at all It's the music that we're bleeding for So raise the flag Raise the flag of metal Raise the flag The flag of heavy metal Energizing and vitalizing We're standing strong Rain or shine we'll hold the line We'll carry on Raise the flag Raise the flag of metal Raise the flag The flag of heavy metal Raise the flag Raise the flag of metal Raise the flag The flag of heavy metal
