[Verse 1]
I signed, a contract with the devil
I tried for so very long
I die to become immortal
That's why I sing this song

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
"Some twenty years ago
The Gods put down their feet
So far in to the ground
That the man of sword ’nor ended
Could never change your rules upon which
The very fundamental of metal was made"

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Read all about it
In the Book of Heavy Metal
Read all about it
In the Metalian
Read all about it
In the Book of Heavy Metal
Read all about it
Just read it
Don't need no flashy house
No kids or ugly man
The only thing I want
Is what my parents don't
Need no wide screen TV
Knowing not honesty
The only thing I want to be
"To be or not to be"
[Outro]
In the Book of Heavy Metal
I signed a contract with the devil
In the Book of Heavy Metal
I like to become a star
In the Book of Heavy Metal
I die to become immortal
In the Book of Heavy Metal
That’s why I play the guitar
In the Book of Heavy Metal
In life
In the Book of Heavy Metal
To death
In the Book of Heavy Metal
In the Book of Heavy Metal
