[Intro]
D5* G5* A*
D5* G5* A*
[Verse 1]
D5
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
G5* A*
were a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school.
D5
One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff
G5* A*
and they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom.
[Verse 2]
D5
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
G5* A*
never settled on a name.
D5
But the top three contenders after weeks of debate
G5* A* D5* G5* A*
were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers.
[Verse 3]
D5
Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
G5* A*
for stage lights and Learjets, fortune and fame.
D5
So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
G5* A*
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names.
[Bridge]
G A
This was how Cyrus got sent to the school
D5 G
where they told him he'd never be famous.
G
And this was why Jeff,
A D5
in the letters he'd write to his friend,
G
helped develop a plan to get even.
[Verse 4]
D5
When you punish a person for dreaming their dreams,
G5* A*
don't expect them to thank or forgive you.
D5
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
G5* A*
will in time both outpace and outlive you.
[Outro verse with riff]
D5* G5* A*
Hail Satan! Hail Satan tonight!
D5* G5* A* D D D
Hail Satan! Hail, hail!
