Play RIFF 1 twice.

"Like maggots, they breed with headlines, dining 
the wounds in breathless cadavers.  Mirror blind 
and aimed for gold, Now watch a terror turn on 
its own."

NEXT PART

"And just past decay, this design delivers life, 
but they prefer to play cancer.  In chase for the 
sky, towers uprise. In fear, the earth quakes for 
what's forgot."

The Rhythm Guitar plays RIFF 1 twice again.

The Lead Guitar plays RIFF 1 once, but the second 
time plays...

RIFF 5

"Then the clouds met the sand as the cyclones began In
epic charge rose the hordes, all branches and thorns.
As the stone from their walls broke legs as they crawled,
The stars had no mercy, they screamed for blood in their
fall.  Six eyes pierce the night and now..."

we deserving this pain with healing?"

Then, the second time, the lead plays this.

"And on trails these symphonies of agony...
Cant you see? We're still demanding self-pity.
Look to the moves of the things surrounding.
We're the only ones, the only ones who keep 
from growing."
