Metal Machine 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
Come touch my 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
Come suck my metal machine
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
I’m the metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky
Come blow my 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
Come touch my metal machine
No, we will never fall
We’re masters of the world
Come suck my metal machine
No, we will never fall
We’re masters of the…
Afraid to shoot strangers, the animal talks
The Sentinel’s coming, but is this the end?
Watch me lose my mind and break the law

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
Or have I really a black knight within?
Shout at the devil, there’s nowhere to hide
Broke my metal heart against the wall
(balls to the wall, balls to the wall)
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
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
I’m a metal machine
The rainbow in the dark is shining
Come suck my metal machine
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon
I’m the metal machine
The kings of metal ride the sky
It’s close to midnight and he’s barking at the moon

I think it's a cool and Happy Song
Its Sabaton ackowledging those who came before
Not only acknowledging but more like a tribute to all those metals bands they love and maybe if it weren't for those bands they wouldn't have made Sabaton, at least not as we know it, because the bands who came before drove them towards metal and influenced them a lot. It could be considered as a "thank you" from Sabaton for what Iron Maiden, Kiss, Judas Priest etc. have done.

The lyrics are realy cool. There are a reference to a famous metal song in every line exept "I'm a metal machine"(witch is the title of this song:P)
Reminds me of Megadeth - Victory...
As a correction to the above post, the Deep Purple song title is "Black Night", not "Black Knight".
Everyone forgets the last chorus. It's different than the others. The second part of the last chorus becomes:
"No we will never fall, We're masters of the world! Come touch my metal machine! No we will never fall, we're Masters! Of the!" And the song ends.
This adds in one of their own songs, Masters of the World, from their first album, Fist for Fight.
there was also a reference to "Balls To The Wall" by Accept
Heheh. Well, they were right, St. Anger was the ultimate sin. ;P
But in all seriousness, FUCK YEAH SABATON.
the last sentence of the repeat for the refrain is a reference to Manowar's "kings of metal"
Here are all the references (in order of appearance):
KREATOR – Phobia Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden - Afraid To Shoot Strangers W.A.S.P. – Animal (Fuck Like A Beast) Judas Priest - All Guns Blazing Kiss - Love Gun Judas Priest - The Sentinel Doors - The End Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train Black Sabbath – Paranoid Guns n' roses - Paradise City Judas Priest - Breaking The Law Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight Ozzy Osbourne - Barking at the Moon Dio - Rainbow In The Dark Manowar - Kings of Metal Helloween - Ride the Sky Metallica - St Anger Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin Deep Purple - Black Night Rainbow - Gates of Babylon Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil Gene Simmons - Always Near You, Nowhere To Hide Manowar - Fighting the World W.A.S.P. - Wild Child Accept - Metal Heart Pink Floyd - The Wall Sabaton – Masters of the World
