Lyrics
Pounding the world Like a battering ram Forging the furnace For the final grand slam Chopping away at the source Soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction That’s second to none Hammering anvils Screaming muscle and might Shattering blows Crashing brow beating fright Fast, devastating and Desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of truth Through each man of this earth Wielding the axe Comes the one culmination That’s always seemed Certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad It’s the age for the rage of the Dogs which must fall to the just And be free Now grate for the vandals Who trampled and sampled Till this place conditioned Brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding Corrosive subsiding That withered and waned Till the world seemed all drained Fills the bay Pounding the world Like a battering ram Forging the furnace For the final grand slam Chopping away at the source Soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction That’s second to none Second to noneOriginally released by Judas Priest in 1980 on the British Steel album.
