(Intro - [Slow, Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Emotional High-Tenor Vocal]) (Tender, sustained vocal): The stage is cold tonight, the spotlight burns for two... But only one soul stands here... Dude, I totally miss you! (Verse 1 - [Tempo change to FAST, Heavy Distortion hits]) The tour bus smells like sulfur and the road keeps bleeding black, I try to hit the riffs, but something vital's always lack! I look across the barren space where your amp used to scream, It's a gaping, lonely void inside this wretched metal dream! We used to conquer cities with a single, massive chord, Now every show's a failure, utterly abhorred! (Pre-Chorus - [Building Tension, Drums hit harder]) They cheer for the Metal, but they don't know the truth, The engine is running, but we lost the crucial proof! (Vocal Rises to High Belt): I'm screaming for the friendship! I'm screaming for the sound! (Chorus - [Maximum Speed, High-Pitched Vocal, Epic, Melodic]) THE VOID IS FOREVER! Since you turned your back and ran! I miss the syncopation! I miss the battle plan! I miss the fucked up genius of the things you used to do! I NEED YOUR FINGERS for the final BREAKTHROUGH! (Shout): DUDE! I TOTALLY MISS YOUR SHRED! (Guitar Solo - [Melodic Shredding over Heavy, Pounding Mid-Tempo Breakdown]) (Focus on high emotion, then switches back to speed) (Verse 2 - [Fast and Aggressive, Focus on the Musical Loss]) They say I need a replacement, a fill-in for the slot, But no one hits the arpeggios like the way that K.G. got! I've got the pick of destiny, I've got the diamond chain, But without your wicked talent, all this power is in vain! I see your face in every crowd, I hear your phantom note, It's a mournful, painful anthem stuck deep inside my throat! (Pre-Chorus - [Building Tension, Drum Roll]) The cosmos bends its knee, but the harmony is gone, I can't face the judgment without you here at dawn! (Vocal Rises to High Belt): I'm screaming for the friendship! I'm screaming for the sound! (Final Chorus - [Maximum Speed, Highest Octave, Desperate Scream]) THE VOID IS FOREVER! Since you turned your back and ran! I miss the syncopation! I miss the battle plan! I miss the fucked up genius of the things you used to do! I NEED YOUR FINGERS for the final BREAKTHROUGH! (Sustained, Wailing High Note): DUUUUUDE! I TOTA-LLY MISS YOU! (Outro - [Slowing Tempo, Guitar Riff repeats and fades]) (Spoken, heartbroken): Come back, brother... the Metal needs you... (Final clean guitar chord with deep, slow reverb)
