The Book of Heavy Metal

Lyrics

[Intro] Metal! [Verse 1] I signed a contract with the devil I tried for so very long I die to become immortal That's why I sing this song! [Chorus] Am I a wannabe? Have I no dignity? Who gave up all my life to be... In the Book of Heavy Metal? Aaaooh..! In the Book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Am I a wannabe? Have I no dignity? I give up all my life to be... In the Book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the Book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! [Bridge] "Some twenty years ago The Gods put down their feet So far into the ground That no man of sword nor pen Could never change the rules upon which The very fundamental of metal was made!" [Instrumental Break] Read all about it In the Book of Heavy Metal! Read all about it In the Metallian! Read all about it In the Book of Heavy Metal! Read all about it Yes, read it! [Verse 3] Don't need no flashy house No car or ugly wife The only thing I want Is what my parents don't Need no wide screen TV Knowing no honesty The only thing I want to be... [Pre-Chorus] "To be or not to be?" [Chorus] In the Book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the Book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the Book of Heavy Metal! [Outro] In life... Aaaooh..! In the Book of Heavy Metal! To death... Aaaooh..! In the Book of Heavy Metal! I signed 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 die To become immortal! In the book of Heavy Metal! That's why I play the guitar! In the book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..! In the book of Heavy Metal! Aaaooh..!
