Lyrics
The 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.
You can't kill the metal: The metal will live on
Punk rock tried to kill the metal, but they failed
As they were smited to the ground
New wave tried to kill the metal, but they failed
As they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal
They failed as they were thrown to the ground
Yeah!
Yeah!
No one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win for why we do not know
New wave tried to destroy the metal
But the metal had it's way
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal
But the metal was in the way
Punk rock tried to destroy the metal
But metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile the metal
But techno was proven wrong, yeah
The metal (the metal), it comes from hell
