This Is Heavy Metal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would like to sell now
My life is going well now
My bones are at an all time ok

[Verse 2]
Home is not a building
It's valued at a billion years old
It doesn't care that I'm here

[Verse 3]
Ivy left a son
Who'll stay on after I'm gone
He'll be unbreakable by design

[Verse 4]
Still a little shaken
From pieces that were taken
I wonder if they ever were mine

[Hook]
Mine
Mine

[Verse 5]
Gold is overrated
It's dead, it can be traded or sold
It's got nothing on time

[Verse 6]
This is heavy metal
The dust is going to settle
The sun will find it's way down the mine

[Hook]
Mine
Mine
