Lyrics :
 1. Scanning the scene in the city tonight
    We're looking for you to start up a fight
    There's an evil feeling in out brains
    But it's nothing new. You know it drives us insane
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Running. On our way
    Hiding. You will pay
    Dying. One thousand deaths
 
[Chorus]
    Searching. Seek and destroy
    Searching. Seek and destroy
    Searching. Seek and destroy
    Searching. Seek and destroy
 
 2. There is no escape and that's for sure
    This is the end we won't take anymore
    Say goodbye to the world you live in
    You've always been taking but now you're giving
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
[Chorus]
 
 3. Our brains are on fire with the feeling to kill
    And it won't go away until our dreams are fulfilled
    There is only one thing on our minds
    Don't try running away 'cause you're the one we will find
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
[Chorus]

    2. sixteenth notes     (2 slashes) or
    3. thirty-second notes (3 slashes)
 
R - in the tab denotes a rest.
