REPEAT FROM VERSE 1
Lyrics for verse 2:
A now blacked heart is reaching out in divinity.
Body suspended by chains over razors and nails, it's a penalty.
Each razor a vice and each nail marks demise of your life.
Grim construction grows.
Life plays its tricks seals you in brick by brick till your end
forcing you to bend.
Bend up A5 chord at end of riff 2(c).
riff 6 *4
riff 7 *1 (whilst bass plays riff 6)
SOLO starts in 12th posn., whilst bass plays variations on verse & pre-chorus
riffs, followed by rhythm going from E - F - G - A.
