[Dm]
[D]
Whoever you inhabit, where's you be found?
Were you at the front of the stage, or in the underground?
From SF out to Old Brit, York out to LA?
Will the metal change forever, back in the day?
[Am] [Bb] Whatever's back in the [A] day, [Bb] I [C] never even [Am] was there
[Bb] It doesn't matter anyway, I [C] guess you wouldn't [D] understand
I lived and died, died in blame, everyday in place
Leave a pound of metal, crash the world, stage to stage
[A] [Bb] Whatever's back in the [Am] day, [Bb] I can [C] be right [Am] [Bb] there
It doesn't matter [Am] where you're working, [Bb] cause [Em] you wouldn't understand
[F] If you [C] don't believe, [Em] you can't [F] trust [C] me and them
[E] [G] Demons and lava, will [F] run from [C] our foreign [E] force
Now fuck it, [Bm] we'll all have a task, [E] and [Fm] put metal [Cm] on the [A] horse
[Eb] [Am] [D] [A] Back
[Eb] [A]
[B] [Am]
[Ab] [G] [Ab]
in the [Eb] [Ab] day, [G] [F] [Ab] you were there
It doesn't matter, [G] [F] [Ab] just you wouldn't understand
[C] That this is a way of life, a life that went from freeze
To fire, a world that's how to live, was never meant to [Eb] be
[Dm]
[Bbm] [C] He's a thunder, he's a lightning, the power leads to space
The music was exciting, the main ear [Eb] raised
[Dm]
[Db] [C] I had a fever, my ears started to ring
Feeding this wildfire, consuming everything
[Eb] [Dm]
[Db] [C] Metal came back then, and still is today
I've lived in the day, I've challenged, but I never know who's to [Eb] blame
[D] [Db] [Cm] [C]
[Am]
[N]
