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..."

Look to the moves of the things surrounding.
We're the only ones, the only ones who keep
from growing."
