Metal Command
Exodus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your gathered here tonight
To heed our metal cry
Obeying all our wills
All others you defy
A wall of sonic sound
With amps turned up to ten
Our legions are advancing
To battle once again

Fists are in the air, banging everywhere
Thrashing to the sound. faces melting down
It s time to fight for metal tonight
Bangers take your stand and obey
Our metal command

We go from town to town
And leave a trail of death
And if you don't surrender
You'll breathe you final breath
There will be no survivors
No prisoners of war
Join our ranks or perish
We'll slice you to the core

Fists are in the air, thrashing everywhere
Banging to the sound. faces melting down
It s time to fight for metal tonight
Bangers take your stand and obey
Our metal command

Our legions show no mercy
The final hour nears
Sonic blast deafening
It's ripping through your ears
There is no retribution
For those who do not dare
There's only execution
Your dead without a prayer

Fists are in the air, banging everywhere
Thrashing to the sound. faces melting down
It s time to fight for metal tonight




Bangers take your stand and obey
Our metal command

Overall Meaning

Exodus's song "Metal Command" is a typical thrash metal anthem, with the band unapologetically declaring their love for heavy metal music and their commitment to its cause. The lyrics are grandiose and bombastic, with the band inviting their fans to join them in a crusade for metal's supremacy, promising only destruction to those who stand in their way. The song opens with a call to arms, with the band declaring that they are the leaders of a metal army, and that those who follow them will be rewarded with sonic glory. The chorus is particularly memorable, with the band urging their fans to raise their fists in the air and "bang" to the music, promising that those who do so will be granted entry into the heavy metal hall of fame.


The verses of "Metal Command" are equally provocative, with the band describing their exploits as they travel from town to town, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. The lyrics suggest that the band is engaged in a war against those who do not "obey" their metal command, and that they will show no mercy to those who stand in their way. The bridge of the song is particularly ominous, with the band warning that the "final hour" is near, and that those who do not follow them will be executed without a prayer.


Overall, "Metal Command" is a song that celebrates the power and glory of heavy metal music, and that encourages its fans to join the band in a crusade for its supremacy. The lyrics are designed to be provocative and inflammatory, with the band portraying themselves as the leaders of a metal army that is engaged in a holy war against all those who do not share their love for heavy metal music.
