My Morning Jacket, Black Metal Girls - Holdin on to Black Metal lyrics

It's a darkness you can't deny
But it don't belong in a grown-up mind
Distortion finds it's place in
A youngster's eyes
Coming into life, you need it's grind
But at a certain point, you gotta let it go
Or it will cross the permanent threshold
You know you gotta find it
In something 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 holdin' on too long

Oh black metal, so misunderstood
Keep black service under Lucifer's hood
Black metal steals souls young
Enough is enough
Friends want refills out of Lucifer's cup
Black metal needs 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 holdin' 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 affecting all your speech

Holdin' on to black metal (black metal)
Holdin' on to black metal (black metal)
Black metal, you've been holdin' 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
