Metal is my energy
It means everything to me
Faster than the speed of sound
Greatest music that's around

Play it loud and play it mean
Sometimes just a bit obscene
They will never make us stop
Lovin' metal till we drop

Metalheads are all the same
Kicking ass and taking names
We are proud to make a stand
Raising fists across the land

(Chorus)
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I need
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Playing metal music is the way that I'm freed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I bleed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Heavy metal music is my code and my creed


Devil's horns they pump me up
Don't you try to mess it up
Demin, leather studded belts
Greatest high that I have felt

Pounding drums and blazing frets
Money down and take your bets
Heavy metal saves the day
So at night we all can play

Hellfest, Rio, Wacken too
Metal's at the best venues
Now it's on the seven seas
Cruise with bands and their groupies

(Chorus)
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I need
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Playing metal music is the way that I'm freed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I bleed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Heavy metal music is my code and my creed


Metal in the car at night
Burning rubber outta sight
Chasing girls and acting wild
Hey, I think that she just smiled

Fill me up then add some more
Metal to my very core
If you check my DNA
It's heavy metal all the way

There's no chance that I won't take
When heavy metal is at stake
So raise those hands into the air
Let metal know that we all care

(Chorus)
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I need
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Playing metal music is the way that I'm freed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I bleed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Heavy metal music is my code and my creed

Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I need
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Playing metal music is the way that I'm freed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Give me heavy metal that's all that I bleed
Breakneck speed
Breakneck speed
Heavy metal music is my code and my creed
Code and my creed
Code and my creed
