Once upon a midnight, the metal flag was raised Long ago a sabbath black cut through the purple haze Upon a silver mountain a message loud and clear Screaming with a vengeance that we will forever hear
They're the pride of our ages In their anthems we trust Like denim and leather And diamonds and rust
Here's to...the rocking warriors Here's to...our heroes and friends And those who've gone before us We're loyal straight 'til the end
They're The Last of a Dying Breed And we salute you The Last of a Dying Breed
The zeppelin led it's voyage thru skies of purple deep The guillotine come crashing down and heads rolled in the streets And in a land down under highway to hell was paved An iron fist cut the deck and drew the ace of spades
They're the pride of our ages In their anthems we trust It's metal to metal And dust to dust
