Lyrics

Metal Magic

[Verse 1]

When they say don't look back

Do what they say

You got to look ahead

To a better day

In a world of metal magic

You need a break

Go forth

Take a chance

Make no mistake

[Chorus]

Metal magic

Metal magic

[Verse 2]

They say you can't go back

Oh so true

When you're a rocker baby

You got to pay your dues

In a world of metal magic

Magic never ends

Sometimes you lose

And sometimes you win

[Chorus]

Metal magic

[Solo]

[Bridge]

Lost in the metal magic

It never ends

Sometimes you lose

Sometimes you win

[Chorus]
