Fretboard Blood Melody

Lights out, the wood is cold,

I'm digging for a story never told.

Six strings, a wire for a heart,

Watching the masterpiece start to fall apart.

My fingers bleeding into the fretboard grain,

A beautiful melody born of a beautiful pain.

Break the silence, burn the stage,

Let the lightning out of the cage!

Face-melting, soul-shaking,

Everything you know is breaking!

I'm the master, I'm the light,

Screaming through the dead of night!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh!)

Screaming through the dead of night!

Snap the bridge, let the tension rise,

I see the reflection of the fire in my eyes.

One more bend, a cry from the wire,

A sacrifice thrown into the technical fire.

Fast as a bullet, sharp as a blade,

Watching the world that I've already made.

Break the silence, burn the stage,

Let the lightning out of the cage!

Face-melting, soul-shaking,

Everything you know is breaking!

I'm the master, I'm the light,

Screaming through the dead of night!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh!)

Everything you know is breaking!

Too fast to see,

Too loud to be...

(Too loud to be...)

The world is melting down around me...

I'm lost in the frequency.

The solo's done.

What's left of you?

Nothing but the ghost...

Of the strings.

(Heh heh heh...)
