Its a darkness you cant deny
But it don't belong in a grown-up mind
Distortion finds its place in a youngsters eyes
Coming into life you need its grind
But at a certain point you gotta let it go
Or it will cross the permanent threshold
You know you gotta find it out in somethin' else good
Oh black metal you so misunderstood!

Holdin' on to black metal
Black metal you been holdin' on too long
Oh black metal so misunderstood
Deep black service under lucifer's hood
Black metal steals souls young enough's enough
Thirty-two ounce refill out of lucifer's cup
Black metal need to be unlearned you teenage pup!
Look at you starchild, you all grown up!

But still holdin' on to black metal
Black metal you been holdin' on too long
Catchin' waves on lucifer's beach
Taking shade underneath lucifer's trees
Getting sustenance from lucifer's peach
Oh black metal, it's affecting all your speech!
Holdin' on to black metal
Black metal you been holdin' on too long
