METAAAAL !
I signed - a contract with the devil
I've tried - for so very long
I'd die - to [bad word] immortal
that's why I sing this song
I a wannabe? - have I no dignity.
I'd give up all my life to be
In the book of heavy metal - METAAAAL !

In life - I have no religion
besides the heavy metal gods
wear nothing but black skin tight leather
My skin's clad with metal studs
I a wannabe? - have I no dignity.
I give up all my life to be
In the book of heavy metal - METAAAAL !
In the book of heavy metal - METAAAAL !

(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 [bad word] upon which
The very fundamentals of metal was made)

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 - In life - METAAAAL !
In the book of heavy metal - to death - METAAAAL !
In the book of heavy metal - I'd die to [bad word] immortal
In the book of heavy metal - That's why I play the guitar

In the book of heavy metal - METAAAAL !
