Information

Background

Pär: "Metal Crüe or Metal Machine, hmm. Which on shall we play tonight. If we play one, people will always ask for the other and we love them both and can never decide for ourselves. So, we played both. Or at least parts of both making a medley of them. And we figured out that this was a great way to end a concert and I guess we have ended our concerts for the last years with this. Ending the show in a great party!" [1]

Lyrics

I have a phobia, a fear of the dark
Afraid to shoot strangers, the animal talks

Guns scare me shitless, but love gun’s my friend
The Sentinel’s coming, but is this the end?

Riding on this crazy train I’m going paranoid
Watch me lose my mind and break the law
(breaking the law, breaking the law)

I’m a metal machine
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
I’m a metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
Unholy metal machine
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
I’m a metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky

Is this st. Anger, the ultimate sin
Or have I really a black knight within?

The gates of Babylon are open and wide
Shout at the devil, there’s nowhere to hide

Fighting for the world to keep the wild child in its cage
Broke my metal heart against the wall
(balls to the wall, balls to the wall)

I’m a metal machine
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
Unholy metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
I’m a metal machine
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
Come touch my metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky

Take a skyride with me, then you’ll see

When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the Queen in crimson glory
