4. Let There Be Shred (3:58)
[Verse 1]
The stage has been lit, get up on your feet
Hearts start to pound, everyone get off your seat
My fingers spontaneously combust into flames
Destroying pretenders, only ashes remain
[Chorus]
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "let there be shred!"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
The amps start to roar, a tsunami of sound
Controlling the air, shaking the ground
Guitars are all screaming, they squeal with delight
Clawing fretboards away at the speed of light
[Chorus]
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth startеd rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "let thеre be shred!"
[Verse 3]
At the end of it all, they are left in my wake
One-by-one they'd fall, on-by-one they'd break
Faster than lightning, a machine gun on meth
Dead on arrival, a guitar beat at to death
[Chorus]
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth startеd rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "let thеre be shred!"
The stage has been lit, get up on your feet
Hearts start to pound, everyone get off your seat
My fingers spontaneously combust into flames
Destroying pretenders, only ashes remain
[Chorus]
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth started rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "let there be shred!"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
The amps start to roar, a tsunami of sound
Controlling the air, shaking the ground
Guitars are all screaming, they squeal with delight
Clawing fretboards away at the speed of light
[Chorus]
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth startеd rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "let thеre be shred!"
[Verse 3]
At the end of it all, they are left in my wake
One-by-one they'd fall, on-by-one they'd break
Faster than lightning, a machine gun on meth
Dead on arrival, a guitar beat at to death
[Chorus]
On the day I was born, a guitar in my hands
The earth startеd rumbling a thunderous command
To bash and to thrash, to bang my head
To smash my guitar and "let thеre be shred!"
