Megadeth Let There Be Shred Lyrics

[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!"

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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!"
