Metal Fatigue Lyrics

Allan Holdsworth Metal Fatigue

[Verse 1]
Look in my eyes and you will satisfy yourself
So many lives [I can describe/it's time to cry(?)]
Look at the picture of the sanctifying light
So many words to justify
How long? How long can this go on? How long?

[Chorus]
It's heavy metal fatigue

[Verse 2]
Maybe the wind will dry your endless tears away
It's only the strong that can survive
Show me a river that is flowing to the sea
If you believe, then so do I

Hear me calling, I am falling, throw the line
Hold me closer, so much closer, and I'll unwind

How long? How long can this go on? How long?

[Guitar solo]

[Bass and drums break]

Maybe the wind will dry your endless tears away
It's only the strong that can survive
Show me a river that is flowing to the sea
If you believe, then so do I

Hear me calling, I am falling, throw the line
Hold me closer, so much closer, and I'll unwind
Hear me calling, I am falling, throw the line
Hold me closer, so much closer, and I'll unwind

How long? How long can this go on? How long?

It's heavy metal fatigue
It's heavy metal fatigue
