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 Learjets, 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* D G A Hail Satan! Hail Satan tonight! D* D G A D Hail Satan! Hail, hail!
