   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

Play 8 times, then:

                       (Part C)
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|

   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .


Play twice, then once more along with this (the numbers in
parentheses are bends):

                      (Part D--4 measures)
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|

   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .



|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--5----(6)---(5)---(6)----5----(6)---(5)---(6)----|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .



|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|

|--4-----------------------------2-----4-----2-----|

|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .


Now play part D again but with this instead of part C:

|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--3----------------------(5)-------------------(3)|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .



|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--3----------------------(5)-------------------(3)|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .



|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--4-----------------------------2-----4-----2-----|
|--4-----------------------------2-----4-----2-----|
|--2-----------------------------0-----2-----0-----|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .



|--------------------------------------------------|

|--4-----------------------------------------------|
|--2-----------------------------------------------|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .


Go back and play everything except the intro again, then freestyle
the F (6th string 3rd fret and 4th string 5th fret) notes for 8
measures (slow bends), then comes the FHP--fucking heavy part:

                        (FHP)
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|*-------------------------------------------------| (Gtr. 1 & 2)
|*-2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----5-----5-----5-----| (And maybe 3)
|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----5-----5-----5-----|
|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----3-----3-----3-----|
   .     .     .     .     .     .     .     .

Play FHP 8 times.

Lyrics:

rise
shining blank
scars burn way down.
it parts ways of the
serpent view. cast
stones where to stop
calling you. they all
lower me to the ground.
stick him. they all
lower me to the soil.
stick him.

star. reign down
on you.

you'll starve.
bright star in the
dripping sun
writhe on. saints
steal from your actions.
step in right on its
function. stick him.

star. reign down
on you.

you all lower me
christs shine blinds
your world.
your belief is scars.

the will to power.
ascension manifest.
that which is above.
is as that which is below.
that which is below
is as that which is above.
thy will be done.
thy kingdom come.
on earth as in heaven
so mote it be.
