[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I have a phobia

A fear of the dark

Afraid to shoot strangers

The animal talks

Guns scare me shitless

But love gun's my friend

The sentinel's coming

But is this the end?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Riding on this crazy train

I'm going paranoid

Watch me lose my mind

And break the law!

(Breaking the law! Breaking the law!)

[Chorus]

I'm a metal machine

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon

I'm a metal machine

The rainbow in the dark is shining

Unholy metal machine

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon

I'm a metal machine

The kings of metal ride the sky

[Verse 2]

Is this St. Anger

The ultimate sin?

Or have I really

A black knight within?

The gates of Babylon

Are open and wide

Shout at the devil

There's nowhere to hide!

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Fighting for the world

To keep the wild child in its cage

Broke my metal heart against the wall!

(Balls to the wall! Balls to the wall!)

[Chorus]

I'm a metal machine

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon

Unholy metal machine

The rainbow in the dark is shining

Unholy metal machine

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon

Come touch my metal machine

The kings of metal ride the sky

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Come touch my metal machine

[Chorus]

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon

I'm a metal machine

The rainbow in the dark is shining

Come suck my metal machine

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon

I'm a metal machine

The kings of metal ride the sky

Come know my metal machine

It's close to midnight

And he's barking at the moon (Barking)

I'm a metal machine

The rainbow in the dark is shining

Come touch my metal machine

No, we will never fall

We're masters of the world

Come suck my metal machine

No, we will never fall

We're masters of the...
