If you've gotten this far, sing along as you watch the video... again:

We rode together upon the blackest winds forever
Over the mountains into the valley of the damned
But I can't seem to shake this feeling deep inside of me
Is it all true what people say

We just want to be like Sam and Herman Li
They're the heroes of our time
Fury of the Storm's a f*cking awesome song
But there is something you've got wrong

Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay?
They used to be my favorite band
All my life I dreamed that I could write a song as catchy too
So Sam would think that I was cool

We always thought that we were the soldiers of the wasteland
Kept holding on till we saw the dawn of a new world
Never before had we felt such a cold black winter night
between the fire or the flames

We just want to be like Sam and Herman Li
They're the heroes of our time
Body breakdown is a f*cking awesome song
but there is something you've got wrong

Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay?
They used to be my favorite band
All my life I dreamed that I could write a song as catchy too
So Sam would think that I was cool

Keep saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay?
They'll always be my favorite band
I just want to write the songs that make the people sing along
And prove that all you cunts are wrong
