Verse 1 : (Lyrics) 
 
                My mother was a witch, she was burned alive. 
                Thankless little bitch, for the tears i've cried. 
                Take her down now, don't want to see her face. 
                All blistered and burned, can't hide my disgrace.

Verse 2 : (Lyrics) 
 
                As i watched my mother die, I lost my head, 
                Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread, 
                Taking no chances, you come with me, 
                I split you to the bone, help set you free.

GUITAR SOLO: 
 
 
For the solo, the rhythm follows the following 'feel': 
 
          X       X         X       X 
        |-X--XXXX-X-XXXX--|-X--XXXX-X-XXXX--| 
 
        Chord changes are noted above tab lines, and are 2 or 3 fingered power 
chords, depending on what you feel like. For the 'XX' notes, strike the 
full chord, on the others just play the lowest note (Usually the E string)
