Holdin' On To Black Metal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a darkness you can't deny
But it don't belong in a grown-up mind
Suppose you'll find this place in a youngster's eyes
Coming into life you needn't cry
But at a certain point you gotta let it go
Or it will cross the permanent threshold
You know you gotta find it out in somethin' else good
Oh black metal you're so misunderstood
Holdin' on to black metal
(black metal)
Holdin' on to black metal
(black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long
Oh black metal, so misunderstood
Deep black service under lucifer's hood
Black metal steals souls young, enough is enough
32oz refill out of lucifer's cup
Black metal need to be unlearned you teenage pup
Look at you starchild you're all grown up
Still holdin' on to black metal
(black metal)
Still holdin' on to black metal
(black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long
Catchin' waves on lucifer's beach
Taking shade underneath lucifer's trees
Getting sustenance from lucifer's peach
Oh black metal it's affectin' all your speech
Holdin' on to black metal
(black metal)
Holdin' on to black metal
(black metal)
Black metal you've been holding on too long
(black metal)
(black metal)
Oh bring them to me
(black metal)
Oh making me think
(black metal)
Oh one, two, three
Let's rock!
