VERSE 2
   Repeat music for verse 1:

 Verse Riff 1:
You think you're so secure 
Protected from above 
Gaze into the hell fire 
I know you'll fall in love 
They'll hunt you down at night 
Your flesh is what they want 
Your eyes will scream for sight 
When evil comes to haunt 

 Verse Riff 2:
Cursed by nightmares 
When you sleep 
They'll cut your throat 
And blood will seep 

 Verse Riff 1:
Fighting through the mist 
Forever trapped in Hell 
Crushed with Satan's fist 
You can't escape his spell 
Sanity will pass 
Reality is just a word 
Evil does its task 
With its mighty sword 

 Verse Riff 2:
Open your eyes and die 
By the hand of mass 
Escape and you'll defy 
My long awaited grasp 

INTERLUDE before solos:
  (guitar L plays top, guitar R plays bottom)

BRIDGE from solos to Verse 3
     Play intro riff while lead guitar L solos (Mike T.)

VERSE 3
  Copy verse 1 music:

 Verse Riff 1:
They want to steal your soul 
Death will steal away 
Your wrongs will take their toll
Below the crust you'll lay 
Spell has cast no hope 
Forgotten thoughts of good 
Your neck awaits a rope 
And things go like they should 

 Verse Riff 2:
Enslaved in forever torment 
Blood drips from your eyes 
There is no way to repent 
>From your wicked lies 

 Verse Riff 1:
Blades of steel 
Cut off your head 
Served as a meal 
Satan is fed 
Masters of evil 
Blasters of Hell 
No one can stop them 
We're under their spell 

 Verse Riff 2:
Red eyes are glowing 
With you in sight 
And if you're knowing 
Scream out in fright
