[Intro] x1

Keyboard arr. for guitar:

(D)                                     G (320003@1)  I have mem'ry and awareness, but I have no shape or form.
          Em (022000@1)                    Bm (x24432@1)  As a disembodied spirit, I am dead and yet unborn.
            G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)  I have passed into Olympus, as was told in tales of old.
            A (x02220@1)                      D (xx0232@1)  To the City of Immortals, marble white and purest gold.

A (x02220@1)  I see the Gods in battle rage on high,
  C (x32010@1)  Thunderbolts across the sky.
      F (133211@1)  I cannot move, I cannot hide.
            E (022100@1)  I feel a silent scream begin inside.

[Riff 1] x4 w/ lyrics:

  Then all at once the chaos ceased.
  A stillness fell, a sudden peace.
  The Warriors felt my silent cry and stayed their struggle, mystified.

[Guitar Solo] - As in previous solo, there may be some legato hand
        sliding that sounds like pick sliding.
