[Intro]
D G A
D* G A
[Verse 1]
D
the best ever death metal band out of denton
G A
were a couple of guys, who'd been friends since grade school.
D
one was named cyrus, and the other was jeff.
G A
and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom.
D
the best ever death metal band out of denton
G A
never settled on a name.
D
but the top three contenders, after weeks of debate,
G A D* G A
were satan's fingers, and the killers, and the hospital bombers.
D* G A
D
jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
G A
for stage lights and leer jets, and fortune and fame.
D
so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram,
G A
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names.
[Verse 2]
G A
this was how cyrus got sent to the school
D G
where they told him he'd never be famous.
G
and this was why jeff,
A
in the letters he'd write to his friend,
D G
helped develop a plan to get even.
D
when you punish a person for dreaming his dream,
G A
don't expect him to thank or forgive you.
D
the best ever death metal band out of denton
G A
will in time both outpace and outlive you.
D* G A
hail satan!
(Riff continues then end on D)
