[Chorus]
Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Metal rhythm, cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name
Know my reason, know my name

[Verse 1]
This isn't music
This is survival
Used up and burnt out
Like an old Ford car
No more opinions
I'm back in harness
Cold metal rhythm
Takes me back to God

[Chorus]
Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Metal rhythm, cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name
Know my reason, know my name

[Verse 2]
Radio station
Thank you for nothing
I like this anger
And I won't forget
This isn't love
It's more like a need
I'm a cold metal junkie
And I need the cure

[Chorus]
Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Metal rhythm, cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name
Know my reason, know my name

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Metal rhythm, cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name
Know my reason, know my name

[Outro]
Metal rhythm, cold and sane
Know my reason, know my name
Metal rhythm, cold and sane
Know my reason, know my name
