Floods

"Floods" is a song by heavy metal band Pantera off of 1996's The Great Southern Trendkill. It is the longest song on the album, about a flood that destroys mankind. Guitar World magazine voted Dimebag Darrell's guitar solo in "Floods" as the 15th greatest of all-time. The solo was originally a riff written by guitarist Dimebag in the late 1980s. This is revealed in the first Dimevision DVD, which features a video from 1988 of the then 22-year-old Darrell playing what would later be the ending of the solo to "Floods".

[Verse 1] A dead issue Don't wrestle with it (Don't wrestle with it) Deaf ears are sleeping (Deaf ears are sleeping) A guilty bliss (Guilty bliss) So inviting (Let me in) Nailed to the cross [Pre-Chorus 1] (I feel you, relate to you, accuse you) Wash away us all Take us with the flood [Chorus 1] Then throughout the night they were raped and executed (Then throughout the night they were raped and executed) Cold hearted world [Verse 2] Your language unheard of (Your language unheard of) The vast sound of tuning out The rash of negativity (The rash of negativity) Is seen one-sidedly (One-sidedly) Burn away the day [Pre-Chorus 2] (The nervous, a drifting, the heaving) Wash away us all Take us with the flood [Chorus 2] Then throughout the day, mankind played with grenades (Then throughout the day, mankind played with grenades) Cold hearted world And at night they might bait the pentagram (And at night they might bait the pentagram) Extinguishing the sun [Bridge] Wash away a man, take him with the floods Flood Flood [Guitar Solo] Flood Flood [Instrumental Outro]
