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 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 goods 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 car or ugly wife

the only thing I want, is what my parents don't

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 - In life

In the book of heavy metal - to death

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
