Solo: I got this somewhere, it`s anything but complete. I can`t play the damn thing anyway.

I haven`t got more than this, maybe it`s totally wrong, I haven`t played more than the beginning, that part sounds quite good. The rhythm guitar plays very weird and unfinished lines, the rhythm varies between 4/4, 3/4 and 5/4:

P.M......|

P.M...................| P.M. P.M.

P.M............| |.| |..................|

| | | | | P.M...........|

P.M....................| |.| |............. Play twice

P.M...................| |.| |.............|

That was the solo stuff

Phew, that was a tough one! How can they remember all this parts?

Here is the lyrics:

Verse

Never hunger, never prosper I have fallen prey to failure Struggle within, triggered again Now the candle burns at both ends

Verse

Twisting under schizophrenia Falling deep into dementia

Chorus

Old habits reappear Fighting the fear of fear Growing conspiracy Everyone`s after me (last time: Myself is after me) Frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling me

Verse

Birth of terror, death of much more I`m the slave of fear, my captor Never warnings, spreading it`s wings As I wait for the horror she brings

Verse

Loss of interest, question, wonder Waves of fear they pull me under

Chorus

Verse

Into ruin, I am sinking Hostage of this nameless feeling Hell is set free, flooded I`ll be Feel the undertow inside me

Verse

Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

Chorus
