Tenacious D - The Metal Lyrics

You can't kill the metal
The metal will live on
Punk rock tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
New wave tried to kill the metal
But they failed as they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground

Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah

No one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win, for why? We do not know

New wave tried to destroy the metal
But the metal had its way
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal
But metal was in the way
Punk rock tried to destroy the metal
But metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile the metal
But techno was proven wrong
Yeah

Metal
It comes from hell
