[Intro]
Twisting the strangle grip

[Intro + Verse 1]
Twisting the strangle grip
Won't give no mercy
Feeling those tendons rip
Torn up and mean
Blastmaster racks the ground
Bent on survival
Full throttle hammers down
A deadly scream
[Chorus]
All
Guns
All guns blazing
All
Guns
All guns blazing
[Verse 2]
Forced into overdrive

Sad wings that heaven sent
Wipes out in rage
[Chorus]
All
Guns
All guns blazing
All
Guns
All guns blazing
All
Guns
All guns blazing
All
Guns
All guns blazing
[Lead: Glenn]
