Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's paranoid first degree, It's telling me that I'm not free
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
It's Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy Metal Mania all the way.
Where is the power, where is the glory, Heavy Metal is my story.
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
