I saw the writings on the wall right before my eyes Came out as soon I heard the call; reached for the sky Walked down the lane of make believe in the pouring rain I'm too clever, forever I will rule this kingdom of pain
Just a boy with the fist held high Long hair, mama cried I had power to blow them all away
In the name of rock I'll fight forever In the name of rock I've sworn the oath tonight, unite In the name of rock
Stray cat, living on the street, but the strong will rise Black dog; dirt under my feet; a lord in disguise This is the story of my life, this is all for real Wild attraction, a slave under the knife, addicted to steel
But the music found my way Made me what I am today There's a God and now I see the light
In the name of rock I'll fight forever In the name of rock I've sworn the oath tonight, unite In the name of rock
In the name of rock In the name of rock In the name of rock In the name of rock
Just a boy with the fist held high Long hair, mama cried I had power to blow them all away
In the name of rock I'll fight forever In the name of rock I've sworn the oath tonight, unite In the name of rock
