Got the lyrics by listening to the cd....there are a couple of parts which
I couldn't figure out. If anyone has the correct lyrics, please post.


Intro: D-C-Bb-G-F-E-Eb-D
^2nd guitar 'fill' comes in and continues....
D-C-Bb-G-F-E-Eb-D

D C
Minstrel came down ...
Bb
with scars of ...
G A Bm
some of them ...
G A Bm
some of them ...
G A Bm
some of them ...
Bb C D
yet some ...


G A Bm
It was told ..
G A Bm
It was told ...
G A Bm
It was told so ...
Bb C D
may not be told ...

( 2nd guitar fill over intro chords - once)

D C
Soldier came ...
Bb
with silence in his...
G A Bm
tore down ...
G A Bm
when fire ..
G A Bm
tore down many ...,
G A Bm
when the previous staff...
Bb G Bb C D
knowing that through sins...earth bell, ...


Man came down from Cyanide....

(I give up here....or else everything is going to start looking like
gibberish! ;O)

At the very end of the songs where RH goes into the super fast strum, its
the same intro chords with 2nd guitar filling in.
