 Tuning: DADGBE
 
 Wherever you see a double line the riff might split up somewhere 
 (depending on where in the song you are).  Not all repeats are shown, but
 this tab should make it pretty damn easy to learn the song.  For palm mutes,
 start at the note above for the next note above the "P" and stop and either
 the "|" if given or the "M".  The counting is shown above the staff for
 convienience.  The the count is "*  &  a" there are some triplets in there.
 Any questions or comments email me.  Effects are just distortion, as far as
 I can tell.

 F. Chorus: Time for this part is hard to figure out.  Dotted eighth-sixteenth
 patterns are slightly too irregular, triplets are too regular. listen and 
 just play it like Testament does.

 Lyrics
 A.
 You take my hand and sympathize
 You felt the flesh.  You realized
 You took my will, now I'm deprived
 Save myself, just save myself
 
 B.
 I.... can not be taken unto
 All that I have can not be taken
 
 C.
 She has ways mischievous
 Takes your soul in pact
 Demonic chants of Manatu
 Save your soul, just save your soul
 
 D.
 A strong will is my defense
 For the future and past
 
 E.
 I... feel what I feel
 I... seen what I've seen
 I... have what I have
 All I have is from me.. yeah!!!!(?)
 
 F.
 Yeah he feeds on innocence
 Dreams the taste of war
 Smells the fear that he has dreamt
 Wake yourself, just wake yourself
 
 G.
 The tarot cards on the table
 Showed the future and past
 
 H.
 I... am a prisoner of fate
 I'... m refusing all hate
 I... will cast it away
 I... will not be a slave
 
 I.
 In through out death I shall be
