I like this song a lot, because it is really agressive and sounds great played by 2 guitars. OK, guyz, this one's as fast as hell. You need to have hell's fire in your right hand, to get through this. To play the song as it was recorded, you have to listen to it, because it is impossible for me, to count how often I hit a string. Normal Tuning pick as fast as you can !!!!! riff a.1 ---------------\ e |--------------------------------------| | B |--------------------------------------| | G |*-------------------------------------| | D |*-------------------------------------| | A |--2-----------------------------------| | E |--0000000111111111000000000111222333--| | | |- Guitar 1 riff a.1 | e |--------------------------------------| | B |--------------------------------------| | G |-------------------------------------*| | D |-------------------------------------*| | A |--2-----------------------------------| | E |--0000000111111111000000000111222000--| | ---------------/ riff a.2 ---------------\ e |--------------------------------------| | B |--------------------------------------| | G |*-------------------------------------| | D |*-------------------------------------| | A |--7777777888888888777777777888999-10--| | E |--------------------------------------| | | riff |- Guitar 2 e |--------------------------------------| | B |--------------------------------------| | G |-------------------------------------*| | D |-------------------------------------*| | A |--7777777888888888877777777788899977--| | E |--------------------------------------| | --------------/ riff b.1 play 4 times e |--------------------------------------| B |--------------------------------------| G |*-------------------------------------| D |*---9------10---9----5-----7----------| Guitar 1 A |---9-----10----9-----5-----7----------| E |--7-----8-----7------3-----5----------| riff b.2 play 4 times e |--------------------------------------| B |--------------------------------------| G |*------------------------------------*| D |*------------------------------------*| Guitar 2 A |--9-9-9-1010109-9-9-5-5-5-7-7-7-------| E |--7-7-7-8-8-8-7-7-7-3-3-3-5-5-5-------| After you have played both riffs (intro), you play riff a.1 twice on both guitars till he sings (actually, you can't call THAT singing): "A soul in fire blessed and baptized". Then you play riff b.1 and b.2 twice. Then comes a new part : riff c e |--------------------------------------| B |--------------------------------------| G |--------------------------------------| D |---------777666444--------------------| Guitar 1 & 2 A |-444444-------------444444-000333777--| E |--------------------------------------| I'm not quite shure about this part here, especially I don't know, what the 2nd guitar's playing. riff d e |----------------------------------| B |----------------------------------| G |*--------------------------------*| D |*--------------------------------*| Guitar 1 (&2) ?

I play it holding an em-chord with an barre in the 7th fret. But still you have to pick very fast with you right hand. Good luck ! riff g e |--------------------------------------| B |---------8877--7788--88---------------| G |*------99----99--------77------------*| D |*----99------------------------------*| Guitar A |---77--------------------1010-99------| E |--------------------------------------| Afterwards both guitars play riff f again, changing a bit the rythm. (listen to the song !). Lyrics : With my pale eyes I watch with delight Beyond the horizon on the everlasting night A heart so black and cold as ice A soul in fire blessed and baptized Lucifer is the fallen lightbearer For his glory we must all burn Children of darkness, raise your bloodfilled cups to our father with horns In eternity we shall blaspheme the one who was tormented with thorns A new era will arise as I see the black angels of the abyss fly And the demons comes storming in the silent cloudless sky with their burning eyes of ripping evil I am given strenght from a thousand sinners that dwell In the everlasting burning roaring dephts of hell With the demons that possess my blackend heart and soul I shall strike for Satans triumph and reach eternal goals Children of darkness raise your bloodfilled cups to our father with horns In eternity we shall blaspheme the one who was tormented with thorns Feel the darkness growing when we draw near My name is legion for we are many in here Heaven shall burn accompaigned by the angels cries We shall invert paradise DEATH TO PEACE DEATH TO PEACE DEATH TO PEACE
