1. SWING THE STUDDED MACE

Black axe meets white shield
heavily-armoured vanguard
stop in a gesture on the battlefield
let's go

The troop approaches
A sight that almost drowns in its might
Although outnumbered
you have to stay alive
And the day has got many hours left

Run, forget all your skills
just use whatever kills
Run to the enemy
what will be, will be
you can see it in their face
the same hatred

Swing, swing, swing the studded mace
Swing, swing, swing the studded mace

Make a circle in the men
If you lose yours,
picking up a weapon
is not desecrating the corpse
It is a means for you to stay alive

Swing, swing, swing the studded mace
Swing, swing, swing the studded mace

Staggering along where bodies outline the field
Losing your mind in the fight for death


2. HEAVY METAL NIGHT

At the break of dawn
we turn the gear on
Can't wait to start to play, for us there is no other way
So loud, so proud, the smoke is on as if there really was a crowd

Tonight we'll show them all
the force is standing tall
A force you can't resist whether you are stoned or pissed
So loud, so proud, the battle's on - the other bands won't see a crowd
I am falling into the haze of the red lights

Heavy metal night
Are you ready to fight
Heavy metal night
Are you ready to fight

Don't try to be new
just try to be old
if you do the other way - from the right way you'll stray
At last, so fast we hit the stage - we are a band from the past
I am falling into the haze of the red lights

Heavy metal night
Are you ready to fight
Heavy metal night
Are you ready to fight
Heavy metal night
Are you ready to fight
Heavy metal night
Are you ready to fight


3. HÅRDROCKENS FÖRKÄMPE

1981, det borde redan skett
Kalla handen fr�n skivbolagen, det var inte l�tt
82 s� var det samma undergroundniv�
Folkparken d� och d�, men en trogen skara fans

Din tid �r h�r, det �r nu det ska ske
alla ska f� se
En vilja av st�l, en jacka av l�der
Men ni undrar hur m�nga �r det ska f� ta

1983, vad har detta �r att ge
Allting �r som f�rr, ingen �ppen d�rr
Pang Records, Fingerprint, allting sl�r slint
Men n�r ni st�r p� scenen p� Folkets Park

D� �r det din tid, du f�r visa vad du kan
med micken i din hand
F�rsta l�ten inleds med ett stenh�rt riff
En stor publik, och allt spelas in p� band!

H�rdrockens f�rk�mpe
Du sjunger i stans h�rdaste band
H�rdrockens f�rk�mpe
Du sl�ss f�r en framtid som kanske blir sann
H�rdrockens f�rk�mpe
En massiv attack av metallmusik
Heavy Metal Vanguard
Den r�tta stilen �r allt som beh�vs


Det blev ert sista gig
den 6:e december '83
Det var exakt 20 �r sen
som ni la av
och n�r du t�nker tillbaks
s� h�nder det n�nting inom dig

Du ringer upp grabbarna som det var s� l�nge sen du s�g
kanske kan ni �teruppst� och visa var sk�pet ska st�
Ett eko fr�n en svunnen tid, som aldrig kommer att d�
V�rlden beh�ver er, s� tomt utan er, kom igen och ge det en chans


Ni tr�ffas p� en l�rda, f�r att g�ra er h�rda
I en replokal i en gammal fabrik; stilen �r sig lik
Chefen p� Folkets Park �r fortfarande d�r
Han bjuder in er p� fredag f�r att ge en konsert

Nu �r det dags igen, ta en �l min v�n
du ska snart f� se
dunkla makter och gamla takter
De gamla m�nnen ska visa hur det g�r till!

H�rdrockens fïrkïmpe
Inga inslag av modernitet
H�rdrockens fïrkïmpe
D�tidens respektabilitet
H�rdrockens fïrkïmpe
Du minns nïr du stod hïr fïr l�nge sen
Heavy Metal Vanguard
Och folkparken ïr sig lik igen!

Heavy Metal, Heavy Metal
yeah
Heavy Metal, Heavy Metal
Det fgngna lever igen
Heavy Metal, Heavy Metal
Dagen efter i lokaltidningen
Det stod sï, ja det stod sï
DET FïRGïNGNA LEVER IGEN!!
