-"Solo" (Backed by Gtr. 1 playing the Verse, which is still palm-muted.  The effects here sound like compression, chorus, and overdrive, though there's lots of room to throw in whatever you like.)

-Lyrics:
They say freak when you're singled out
and the red, well it filters through

So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again

This change he won't contain
Slip away to clear your mind
When asked who made it show
The truth he gives into most

So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
So lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
Say lay down, the threat is real
When his sight goes red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red!

They say freak when your singled out
and the red it filters through
