Monsters of Rock lyrics

It started many years ago

Out of the black country

The seed became the embryo

For all on earth to see

Like stealth, the word spread mouth to mouth

All corners of the land

And soon the thing began to grow

And get right out of hand

From the concrete jungle

The smoke, the dirt, the grime

Could not contain the hunger

It grew and grew in time, into a

Monster, Monster of rock

They could never bind it

It vowed to reach the top

Monster, Monster of rock

They could never bind it

Impossible to stop

Took the sound across the seas

The people stood in awe

At last the sound had come to them

That they'd been waiting for

And millions roared, and millions cheered

This spectacle on stage

And everyone went crazy

As it bellowed out in rage

From the concrete jungle

The smoke, the dirt, the grime

Could not contain the hunger

It grew and grew in time, into a

Monster, Monster of rock

They could never bind it

It vowed to reach the top

Monster, Monster of rock

They could never bind it

Impossible to stop (x2)
