Deal With The Devil

  • Forged in the Black Country
    Under blood red skies
    We all had our dream to realize
    Driving in that transit
    Down to Holy Joe's
    Used to lose our head while metal flowed
    Nothing held us back or dared to try
    Something in our blood won't let us die
    We built our world of metal watched it grow
    Fueled the fury solid to the bone

    Gotta deal with the devil
    'Cause you know that's it's real
    Done a deal with the devil
    From a heart made of steel

    Rollin' down the M-Way
    Took it to the smoke
    Banging heads there 'til we all went broke
    When we don the leather
    And the whips and chains
    Nothing matters more, we can't be tamed
    Fighting through the din and accolades
    Turn the phase around with razor blades
    Watched the movement grow into one voice
    Took on the whole world it had no choice

    Late at night
    You're in our sight
    Where we can feel what we've been waiting for
    Let me hear you roar
    On this stage, let it rage
    For a time we leave the world behind
    To be with our own kind Writer/s: GLENN RAYMOND TIPTON, KENNETH DOWNING, ROBERT HALFORD, ROGER RAMIREZ
