I was born for a richer breed of fools

Heavy guns are metal gods

In the shape of a tool

Sinister dreams and breaking glass

Graduate to greater things

In my life I am a knife

That stabs

At the heart of this misery machine

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

I’m gonna leave the light

And enter night as shaman

And silhouette

I’m gonna kill the fright

And win the fight

Fought down on lowly earth

It’s heaven and hell

Your soul to sell

Pray now for Jesus bells

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

I will die at the end of my life

As a martyr for magic things

I will die and you will cry

Cause the world has lost a beautiful thing

I’ll battle hard and battle long

I’ll play guitar and sing the song

I’ll drink whiskey and

Unlock the key

To everlasting youthful life

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

It’s like the afterlife in present life

Sword and shield and meal and mead

Cross the river styx

It’s under Egypt

On your way to Satan’s gate

You must guard yourself

Against the horde

Body count keeping score

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school

Get up get up get up

For the nightmare

Ghastly goblins

And German ghouls

Time to go to metal school
