Lyrics by Fernando Ribeiro, Music by Moonspell
00:00 -> 00:12 - Play RIFF 1, twice, with some pick scrapes in the
beggining...
RIFF 1:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
00:13 -> 00:25 - The drum kicks in, and RIFF 1 is played twice again,
acompanyed by the guitar that plays the E5 and D5 chords,
at the same time as the bassdrum, with heavy palm mutting.
00:26 -> 00:38 - Guitar plays RIFF 2, in clear tone... I think this is played
with a synth in the album...
RIFF 2:

00:39 -> 00:50 - One guitar plays RIFF 2, while the other plays RIFF 3, after
a pick scrape... The pick scrapes appear a bit before every
chord.
