There's an Electric solo by Kirk Hammett on top of Riff7 but unfortunately I can't
play guitar anything like him so I haven't attempted it. Once I've mastered it I'll
tab it out but that won't be for awhile :-)

Lyrics:
Life It Seems Will Fade Away
Drifting Farther Every Day
Getting Lost Within Myself
Nothing Matters
No One Else.
I Have Lost The Will To Live
Simply Nothing More To Give
There Is Nothing More For Me
Need The Air To Set Me Free.
(Chorus Riff)
Things Not What They Used To Be
Missing One Inside Of Me
Deathly Lost This Can't Be Real
I Cannot Stand This Hell I Feel
Emptiness Is Filling Me
To The Point Of Agony
Growing Darkness Taking Dawn
I Was Me But Now He's Gone
(Chorus Riff)
No One But Me
Can Save Myself
For It's Too late
Now I Can't Think
Think Why I Should
Even Try
Yesterday Seems
As Though It Never Existed
Death Greets Me Warm
Now I Will Just Say
Goodbye
(Outro Begins)
