And then it's time for the first verse with the verse riff:

Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can't take anymore

Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice
Then it's time for another solo and another verse:
Crystallized, as I lay here and rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows, no one hears what I say
Then again, a chorus and then to this riff:

A-|-8-------8-------8-------8-------7-------7-------7-------7--

Then it starts all over again with a solo and a verse:
No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I've been stricken by fate
Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free
Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
Verse 3 is followed by 2 choruses and after that, this,
played 3 times:
