Metal. The way it works, is that what makes a "song", is the melody and lyrics.

So, you want a vocalist to sing 'something' to your track. 
in the end it you would not own any rights to your "song".

So, if I took your track and sang:

The pounding death inside my soul 
will take you to the edge
as I chew upon your carcase 
on a platter in my bed.

I would own that, and the melody that I used to sing it.
In other words, The Song.

Sorry Timidi...your wrong ....you do not get ownership of the music because you wrote the lyrics...you would get a writing credit for the lyrics but that`s it. In order to own the song you must have proof of creation and there`s only 1 way to do that ...though nowadays you can pay on the internet anwhere from 50 to 300 bucks for a copyright that isn`t worth the paper it`s written on. The only way to do it is to send a physical recording to the U.S. Copyright Office.
