Steel Won’t Hold Me Down
(Fast tempo, distorted guitars) Verse 1 Used to fly like a comet, chaos in my stride Mosh pit acrobat, nowhere to hide Now I’m strapped to this chrome chariot, stuck in slow gear But this ain’t no hearse, my spirit ain’t dead here Chorus Chrome don’t confine me,...

Will Not Sleep
I will not go to sleep tonight, but lie awake and think of it; Of all the things that I have done, And of the things I might have done. I will not go to sleep tonight, but lie awake and dream of it; Of all the things...
