All your lies serve no one but you Blood machines burn the skies Turning day into night Everything will fade to dust again, weak or strong So don't pretend you've done no wrong 'cause you know that I'm right Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing Justify all that you consume Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? All your lies serve no one but you One day you will see what you've done The world you chose to bleed will be dead and gone (Solo) Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing Justify all that you consume Bleed it dry, what is this becoming? All your lies serve no one but you ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | NH natural harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | r Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
