"Let There Be Shred" lyrics - MEGADETH

[Instrumental intro]

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]

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 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]

[Guitar solo]

At the end of it all, they are left in my wake
One by one they'd fall, one by one they'd break
Faster than lightning, a machine gun on meth
Dead on arrival, a guitar beat to death

[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
