Live in Concert - Part 1

Tears of the Broken Sky

Text:
[Intro – spoken, gritty]  
In the beginning…  
there was nothing but silence.  
Then someone cranked the amp…  
and the whole damn world caught flame!

[Verse 1]  
A kid in a basement with a second-hand axe,  
blew out the fuse, never looked back.  
Neighbors screaming, windows shake,  
the night caught fire when the ground began to quake.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
He struck that chord like a hammer in the dark,  
and every spark  
became a mark—  
a lightning scar across the heart!

[Chorus]  
LET THERE BE FIRE!  
LET THERE BE NOISE!  
LET THERE BE THUNDER FOR THE GIRLS AND THE BOYS!  
TURN IT UP HIGHER!  
LET THE EARTH ROCK!  
IF YOU WANT A REVOLUTION—  
LET THERE BE ROCK!

(solo)

[Verse 2]  
Crowds in the alley, boots in the street,  
the drums hit hard like a runaway beast.  
Sweat starts dripping, amps start to roar,  
the whole place shakes—  
they’re screaming for more!  

[Pre-Chorus]  
A riff like a chainsaw biting through steel,  
you feel it in your bones,  
you feel it for real—  
it burns like truth you can’t conceal!

[Chorus]  
LET THERE BE FIRE!  
LET THERE BE NOISE!  
LET THERE BE THUNDER FOR THE GIRLS AND THE BOYS!  
TURN IT UP HIGHER!  
LET THE EARTH ROCK!  
IF YOU WANT A REVOLUTION—  
LET THERE BE ROCK!

(solo)

[Bridge – spoken, wild]  
And the amps blew…  
and the lights died…  
but the crowd screamed  
like a storm in the night.  
So he plugged into the dark—  
AND THE DARK LIT UP!

[Final Chorus – doubled, shouted]  
LET THERE BE FIRE!  
LET THERE BE NOISE!  
LET THERE BE THUNDER FOR THE GIRLS AND THE BOYS!  
TURN IT UP HIGHER!  
LET THE EARTH ROCK!  
‘CAUSE WHEN YOU FEEL THAT WILD DESIRE—  
LET THERE BE!  
LET THERE BE!  
LET THERE BE ROCK!!!
