We're ghosts of leather and spirits of steel From the distant past when metal was real We have no place in the modern age Our souls are burning with hate and rage We're relics of the past, we're out of date But we don't care that we were born too late We refuse to conform to fashion's flow The power of ancient metal is all we know [Bridge:] Black leather and loud guitars Spikes and chains and sleazy bars On every smoke-filled stage we cry
We're ghosts of leather and we'll never die [Chorus:] Ghosts of leather; spirits of steel Warriors of metal; to no man we kneel Ghosts of leather; demons of fire Ghouls of iron; we live our desire Wimps and posers may say we're antiquated But the might of steel and metal is never outdated We are beyond trends 'cos metal never dies In the end once more we'll hear the false one's cries [Bridge] [Chorus]
