It started many years ago out of the black country
The seed became the embryo for all on earth to see
Like stealth the word spread mouth to mouth all corners of the land
And soon the thing began to grow and get right out of handFrom the concrete jungle the smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger it grew and grew in time
Into a monster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the topTook the sound across the seas the people stood in awe
At last the sound had come to them that they'd been waiting for
And millions roared, and millions cheered this spectacle on stage
And everyone went crazy as it bellowed out in rageFrom the concrete jungle the smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger it grew and grew in time
Into a monster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top, oh
Monster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, impossible to stop
Monster of rockFrom the concrete jungle the smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger it grew and grew in time
Into a monster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top,
Monster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, impossible to stop, stopMonster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, it vowed to reach the top
Monster, monster of rock
They could never bind it, impossible to stop
