Artificial Intelligence Wrote This Fake METALLICA Song

What would happen if you fed a computer a band’s entire catalogue of lyrics, then asked it to write its own song in that band’s style?

The website lyrics.rip operates on that very concept, and one endeavoring metalhead took the idea to the next level by having the tool generate a new song’s worth of “Metallica” lyrics, then writing his own Metallica-esque musical accompaniment. No fake Metallica song would be complete without a requisite James Hetfield impersonation, and Funk Turkey, as the musician is known, has got us covered there too with some mighty convincing “yeah-yeaaaahhhh!”s and trademark Papa Het snarls.

The song is called “Deliverance Rides,” and I’ve gotta hand it to whoever built lyrics.rip… these words really could be a Metallica song! What’s more, the music Mr. Turkey has written could easily slide right amongst any number of Metallica classics and your casual fan would be none the wiser. Here are the lyrics, followed by the full song underneath.

Beaten down and destroy Dead sure she’ll never you betray Hell is the one who waits for you Now I roam the world all alone Bound by leather steeds they ride Crown yourself the world and tired Dying, the one who waits for you No, there’s no longer cares I’m the sun, I’m insane Yes she’ll never love Never me, so let it be Obey your eyes Death! Deliverance rides! Yeah-yeah, no! Bound by minutes seemed like hours Killing scores with the flame Behind the pages turn the door Die as you live in vanity Curses rest on our brains No, there’s an evil feeling in vain I can’t believe I stand alone Beast under wicked sky I’m the sun, I’m insane Yes she’ll never love Never me, so let it be Obey your eyes Death! Deliverance rides! Yeah! Hold the door should I wish for death The price all you say Die as you be there when I’m the sun Assuring me all eternity I can’t believe the death of day The dark of wretched pain Where I see the one thousand deaths Never free in vain I’m the sun, I’m insane Yes, she’ll never love Never me, so let it be Obey your eyes Death! Deliverance rides! Hey, hey!
