The Book Of Heavy 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?

Who'd give up all my life to be

In the book of heavy metal

In the book of heavy 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

In the book of heavy 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



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 kids or ugly wife

The only thing I want is what my parents daunt

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



I've 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'd die to become immortal

In the book of heavy metal



That's why I play the guitar

In the book of heavy metal



In the book of heavy metal

In the book of heavy metal
