[source: http://www.personal.psu.edu/]</p> <blockquote>[Slow mellow acoustic riff giving a very ominous brooding] - 4 beats<br />
[Drums start with just the base drum going DUDH DUDH DUDH DUDH per second] - 4 beats<br />
[The guitars get into the distortion mode]<br />
[The second guitar - lead comes from a low volume end of scale notes]<br />
<br />
I am walking down the lane<br />
Walking down the street<br />
Ambling through the alleys<br />
Away from the bustling beat<br />
<br />
And I pass this old man<br />
With his tattered torn blanket<br />
Clothes once plush and rich<br />
Now, rags and buttons rusted....<br />
<br />
[Snare hits ta-ta-ta-ta, and cotinue with the normal 4beat rhythm]<br />
[Ominous Chords - have to check with potti]<br />
[Chorus]<br />
<br />
I walk downcast<br />
Down this empty street<br />
Through the black crowded roads<br />
I still walk alone<br />
<br />
I walk downcast<br />
Down this empty street<br />
I walk through these crowded roads<br />
And still I am all alone....<br />
<br />
[Back to DUDH DUDH on the drums + riff on rhythm + end of scale on lead]<br />
<br />
As I near the old man<br />
I heard him call my name<br />
Startled I turn, <br />
And face his gaze through the mane<br />
<br />
[hold the lead..... and a vibrato]<br />
Gaze through the mane<br />
<br />
Fear filled my eyes<br />
His mane shining through the glow<br />
As he parted his hair,<br />
Gazed me back like the mirror I know...<br />
<br />
[Snare hits ta-ta-ta-ta, and cotinue with the normal 4beat rhythm]<br />
[Ominous Chords - have to check with potti]<br />
[Chorus]<br />
<br />
I walk downcast<br />
Down this empty street<br />
Through the black crowded roads<br />
I still walk alone<br />
<br />
I walk downcast<br />
 Down this empty street<br />
I walk through these crowded roads<br />
And still I am all alone....<br />
<br />
[4 beats pause]<br />
[Power chords strum for 1 beat]<br />
[All die out but for the rhythm and the drums following the rhythm is a slow time roll]<br />
<br />
I run out and scream<br />
Getting louder with passing stay<br />
The beat tells me that soon<br />
It's gonna be my dying day...<br />
<br />
[Just snare and base, with the lead going beserk over the ominous feeling givers]<br />
<br />
Be my dying day - my dying day<br />
My dying day - my dying day<br />
Be my dying day - my dying day<br />
My dying day&nbsp; -my dying day....<br />
<br />
[A screaaammmm]<br />
[Everything comes in]<br />
<br />
I run out and scream<br />
Getting louder with passing stay<br />
The beat tells me that soon<br />
It's gonna be my dying day<br />
Fate's a crazy player<br />
Never knowing what'll come<br />
I run with my eyes open<br />
Watching out for death's own pun...<br />
<br />
[Break into the lead after a reverse slide] - 4 beats<br />
<br />
Death's own pun.....<br />
<br />
[end with the lead holding the highest note reached after playing for about 20 beats]<br />
