about

This cover was done as a part of a competition.

Gear used: Yamaha DZX420 (Seymor Duncan JB SH4 pickup), Vintage VJ74 Bass, Dunlop Kirk Hammett signature WAH, Line 6 UX1, Shure SM57, Reaper with various plugins.

The tunning for this song is originally drop C but I opted for open B tuning (B F# B F# B D#) as I wanted to truly pay tribute and cover it in my style and not just "play" the song.

lyrics

The truth is that
We reach the point of no return
With every step
We got further from our home.
Ten years are gone, fight after fight
And our flames are burning up
The ravens soar above our heads
Calling our names

THE END OF US
Once we regret our choices
THE END OF US
If we forget our promises
Just say goodbye
Smile through the pain
And leave it all behind
Before we let each other down.

Let each other down!

There’s no escape from this human trap
The more we struggle
the deeper blades sink.

Our wings are heavy
covered in wax
Ambitions shattered
Only shards remain

We’re ready to fall
Riding a dark horse

Remember what we said?
WE WON’T GIVE UP!
Do you still believe we can
FIX WHAT'S BROKEN
(and) START THIS OVER?
or we’ve lost the final stand
(and) WE’VE COME UNDONE?

Will our flames reignite or fade
Before our hearts start bleeding black?
Wandering in this Neverland
Too young to leave, too old to stay.

Just say goodbye
THE END OF US
