Tuning: DADGBE. On the riffs, if there is a string 
that isn't being played, I've just left it out to save space, 
ie if the bottom or top three strings aren't being played. Oh and I'm
still trying to work out the solo at the end. - Dave

i wonder who you think you think are?
d'you damn well think you're god or something?
god give life, god taketh it away, not you.
i think you are the devil itself.

the weak die young and right now we crouch to make them strong,
