Píseň: The Art Of Shredding

Interpret:
Pantera
Album:
Cowboys From Hell
Unity is a rare thing 
Blind eyes of society bring 
The category of minority 
Now what are we supposed to be? 
Born free to be 
Powerless to change the world 
With our lives in the hands of madmen 


Now in times when society needs us 
This is where the sin begins 
We're aware they're going to free us 
Rage from our hearts within 
Born of this world 
Which is a living hell 
But we'll be closer to heaven 


So now, this is the art 
To shred... its only emotion
