[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]
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]
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...
