Metal...!

I'd sign a contract with the devil,
I've tried for so very long,
I'd die to become immortal,
that's why I sing this song.

Am I a wannabe? Have I no dignity?
I'd give up all my life to be
in the book of heavy metal... Metal!
In the book of heavy metal... Metal!

In life, I have no religion
besides the heavy metal gods.
Wear nothing but black skin tight leather,
my skin is clad with metal studs.

Am I a wannabe? Have I no dignity?
I give up all my life to be
in the book of heavy metal... Metal!
In the book of heavy metal... Metal!

Some twenty years ago, the gods put down their feet, so firmly in to the ground that no man of sword nor pen, could ever change the rules upon which the very fundament of metal was made.

*GUITAR SOLO*

Read all about it, in the book of heavy metal!
Read all about it, in the manual!
Read all about it, in the book of heavy metal!
Read all about it, yes, read it!

Don't need no flashy house, no car or ugly wife.
The only thing I want, is what my parents don't.
Need no widescreen TV, no, in all honesty,
the only thing I want to be (to be or not to be)

In the book of heavy metal... Metal!
In the book of heavy metal... Metal!
In the book of heavy metal. In life... Metal!
In the book of heavy metal. To death... Metal!

(In the book of heavy metal) I'd sign a contract with the devil
(In the book of heavy metal) I'd like to become a star
(In the book of heavy metal) I'd die to become immortal
(In the book of heavy metal) That's why I play the guitar

In the book of heavy metal... Metal!
In the book of heavy metal... Metal!
