  Intro riff / Riff 1. I'm not sure how many times the A5 chords is hit but if you just 
  listen to the song and play the riff you "feel" it. Downstroke the chords and tremolo pick 
  the notes. Play 7 times.

Vocals enter 3th time: 
Never shall the sun kiss my face 
And caress me with it's burning light 
For I dwell in the shadows 
And sleep side by side with death 
 
In dark desire I embrace the whore 
Giving her an escape from an unworthly life 
For with the appearance of a fallen angel

(1:36) Riff 3. Maybe you have to detune to D to play this riff good (the first chord in this riff 
is a D) but this also sounds good (play 8 times):
