Chernobyl Survivor - Blinded By Faith

I was only ten, and even then

I listened to my Maiden at maximum volume

It was so easy to drive the neighbours crazy

I remember them saying «This child is going nowhere»

But I didn’t care, «Who are you to judge me?

Go mow your lawn and leave me alone

I’ll crank it up so I won’t hear your dumb shit

And grow my hair just because you hate it»

This music gave me the strength to say fuck 'em

I love it when the tubes overheat and crack, about to explode

When distortion roars like thunder in the storm

I wanna pump all the power and burn all the fuses

I’ll surely die deaf,'cause my motto is: The louder the better

Twenty years later, things haven’t changed, I carry on

Spreading the plague, yielding the horns

I must have sniffed some gun powder

I feel radioactive like a Chernobyl survivor

And when I’ll be in the madhouse at 50 years-old

I’ll be the only bastard up and screaming: «rock and roll!»

Banging my metal head against the padded wall

Knocking on death’s door

This shit’ll give me the strength to say fuck you all

Once again, motherfuckers
