Live for the Kill Lyrics

"Live For the Kill" by Amon Amarth (from "Twilight of the Thundergod")
B standard tuning
post any comments in the comments section. I will post any additional finds in the comments.
I'd like to point out that you can ALMOST play this song in E standard. But if you're
along with
the CD you'l want to be in B standard to be able to go between songs easily. There is
a rhythm part
that requires to be in B standard.
Main SOLO credit - Sam B
. = Palm Mute
x = staccato stop. hit the note than stop it
' = tremolo pick
/ = slide
h = hammer on
