Lyrics
In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -
"Let there be light", and there was light
"Let there be sound", and there was sound
"Let there be drums", and there was drums
"Let there be guitar", and there was guitar
"Let there be rock"
And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
The guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say
"Let there be light"
"Sound"
"Drums"
"Guitar"
"Let there be rock"
One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
The music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
"Let there be rock"

The fires are burning deep down in hell
The warlords are ready to rise
Forces of evil angels of sin bloodlust
And hate in their eyes
Nations lie wait in the fear of their death
Standing one foot in the grave
Satan pronounces let death be to all
That none of the living are saved
Hellbound the horsemen
Ride let there be death to all
Ride through the burning skies
See that no one survives
Send their souls to hell
Let there be death!
Nuclear warfare raging on earth
Destruction the ultimate key
Life termination the only reward
No living beyond his decree
Bodies turn vapour a ghost of the past
The souls are delivered to hell
Satan pronounces let death be to all
The warlords are under his spell
Hellbound the horsemen
Ride let there be death to all
Ride through the burning skies
See that no one survives
Send their souls to hell
Let there be death!
Blinding light the fireball illuminates the sky
Death force captive of the cloud that lurks above
Searing heat the fires coalesce into a storm
No retreat Satan holds the power of the gods
Satan stands watching alone in his ground
He laughs with a deafening cry
Evil and hatred vengeance and death
The fires are burning the sky
Earth is now wasteland infernal hell
Nothing but darkness remains
Satans awaiting to regain the crown
Return it to hell's dark domain
Hellbound the horsemen
Ride let there be death to all
Ride through the burning skies
See that no one survives
Send their souls to hell
Let there be death!
