                                       Lyrics

                                   I AM IRON MAN
                               Has he lost his mind
                             Can he see or is he blind?
                                Can he walk at all,
                            Or if he moves will he fall?

                               Is he live or dead?
                          Has he thoughts within his head?
                            We'll just pass him there
                             Why should we even care?

                              He was turned to steel
                            In the great magnetic field
                               When he traveled time
                             For the future of mankind
 
                                 Nobody wants him
                           He just stares at the world
                              Planning his vengeance
                             That he will soon unfold

                               Now the time is here
                            For Iron Man to spread fear
                             Vengeance from the grave
                          Kills the people he once saved

                                Nobody wants him
                           They just turn their heads
                                Nobody helps him
                             Now he has his revenge

                               Heavy boots of lead
                         Fills his victims full of dread
                           Running as fast as they can
                              Iron Man lives again
