Home K Killswitch Engage This Fire Burns Guitar Tab

Artist: Killswitch Engage
Track: This Fire Burns
Album: Wreckless intent(and upcoming album of 2007)

This is taken from the WWE album wreckless intent and once I heard I knew I had to tab
out because this song so killer. It's also a really good breathe of fresh air from
Cant wait for their new album
Also theres melodies missing from the first breakdown and from the chorus, I did this
by ear so it was really difficult also considering I've been playing a year and a half. So
is mistakes however I just wanted everyone to get a general jist of this masterpice.
Enjoy :)

For those who don't know, this was originally written as the theme song of the WWE wrestler, Randy Orton. WWE then decided not to use it for Randy and used it for one of their Pay-Per-View events instead. It's a shame, 'cause it really fit Orton. I'm not sure of Killswitch took the inspiration from Orton himself, or Jim Johnston of WWE gave them a direction and they just went with it.

This song is just orgasmic, the riff is great and Howards Vocals are just unbelievable. I think this song is saying: No matter how hard people try to extinguish you, no matter how hard people put you down, stay strong. Oak

Holy freakin\' crap, the new song song is great! So what\'s it about? In my opinion this song deals with the strength of our will. If you really want to achieve something by all your heart nothing can stop you.

Yeah man but now CM Punk uses it and he's mad sweeter. Anyway, wrestling aside, this song is sweet, good song. The music itself is amazing sounding as well.
