Holdin On To Black Metal

My Morning Jacket · Circuital [2011]

It's a darkness you can't deny

But it don't belong in a grown-up mind

Suppose you'll find this place in a youngster's eyes

Coming into life you needn't cry

But at a certain point you gotta let it go

Or it will cross the permanent threshold

You know you gotta find it out in somethin' else good

Oh black metal you're so misunderstood



Holdin' on to black metal

(Black metal)

Holdin' on to black metal

(Black metal)

Black metal you've been holding on too long



Oh black metal, so misunderstood

Deep black service under Lucifer's hood

Black metal steals souls young, enough is enough

32oz refill out of Lucifer's cup

Black metal need to be unlearned you teenage pup

Look at you starchild you're all grown up



Still holdin' on to black metal

(Black metal)

Still holdin' on to black metal

(Black metal)

Black metal you've been holding on too long



Catchin' waves on Lucifer's beach

Taking shade underneath Lucifer's trees

Getting sustenance from Lucifer's peach

Oh black metal it's affectin' all your speech



Holdin' on to black metal

(Black metal)

Holdin' on to black metal

(Black metal)

Black metal you've been holding on too long



(Black metal)

(Black metal)

Oh bring them to me

(Black metal)

Oh making me think

(Black metal)

Oh one, two, three

Let's rock!
