It comes during the night You’re sweating, hold your pillow tight Reality the true nightmare, An illness you don’t want to cure It creeps within your blood Iron cancer, chaos unbound The hammer pounding in your brain, Metal’s gonna kill you insane It’s the black steel fever, poisoning your dreams You crave it, you can’t live without it Riffs are vital needs It’s the black steel fever, normal life you can’t accept Drilling, relentless beating A demon breeding in your chest Another night is over, daylight is your enemy Melissa is still there, menacing your sanity Possessed by demons of the blackest steel Realize that only death is real Again the black steel fever, calling doctor rock ‘n’ roll Still the black steel fever, the bell never ends to toll
