Something's calling

In the night

Electric madness

Roars in sight

Heat is rising

Blazing fast

Hot and evil

Feel the blast

Out of control

About to explode

It's coming at ya

Here comes the metal meltdown

Run for your lives

Can't stop the metal meltdown

No one survives

Raging fury

Wired for sound

Nitro bombshell

Shakes the ground

High and mighty

Rips the air

Piercing laser

Burning flare

Out of control

About to explode

It's coming at ya

Here comes the metal meltdown

Run for your lives

Can't stop the metal meltdown

No one survives

Temperature is boiling

Magnifying might

Feeding like a virus

Flashing light

Imminent collision

Shockwaves all around

Generating energy

Screams so loud
