the harmonic played 4/10 of the way into the second fret, etc.

Pre-dive on the whammy and return slowly with the bar to the next note
(same one)
(3) - Dive and vibrato note with the whammy bar simultaneously
(4) - predive first open E to C#, then raise note to D#, then dive to
back to C#, raise to normal E, and then finish this stanza by diving to
slack

Lyrics (nobody knows for sure what they are =)
You will soon come with me to die
And find that death is not the end
Who I say who will who won�t be freed
Tell me that this is not the end complete
Even as the end�s complete
Finding strength with one�s defeat
Living in an endless score
Killing me with battled sores
I�m the one that�s sent to kill
Feeling all destructive will
Bring forth one dead sole decay
The end�s complete�s the final day
When the time has come to bare
Dying young fall to despair
To bring forth one dead sole decay
The end�s complete�s the final day
