THE 7 GATES OF HELL - WELCOME TO HELL TAB

Welcome To Hell Tab
Tune down guitars three half-steps (to C#)
Note - letters above staff are time vales for notes underneath. Lyrics
are below staff.
I would notate palm-muting, but due to the quality of the recording
(playing) it is hard to tell. May your ears be your guide.
I would transcribe the bass part, but to avoid redundancy I left
it out. It only follows the guitar.
Rhythm in 4/4
Intro - Riff 1 (guitar and drums only first time)

Lyrics for verse 2&3
Verse 2
Kill we will kill death
Masturbating on the deeds we have done
Hell commands Death Kill
Argue not or feel the death of the son
Interlude
(overdub of a woman reciting Psalm 23)
Leave your souls at his feet
Kiss the flames, scorn defeat
Verse 3
Die we won't die here
Our choice of difference is what you'll never know
Mortal voids live die
Buried deep beneath the fall of the snow
