Lung of Steel (The Ballad of True Metal) Lyrics


We were a little invidious of manowar's diseases

who made them have a heart of steel

we wanted to be more true than them

so we chose to get lung-cancer

so a surgeon would remove our meat-lung

and replace it with one made of steel

the operation went all-right

and we were so excited to have such true-metal

new organ inside ourselves

so we took our metal tricycles

and we stayed about all night outside for party

at least till 11 o'clock

manowar were bon with a heart of steel

but we will die with a lung of true metal

we cannot swim or take a bath

if we go to the airport the gate rings

if we meet someone who has a bypass

our lung goes down

if we switch off the amps (we must stop breathing because otherwise our lung would explode,

but finally we are super-true !!)

manowar were bon with a heart of steel

but we will die with a lung of true metal
