Verse (with Riff B 4 times, but 3rd time substitute by Riff B1):
In a dark and spooky graveyard,
there he's waiting in the deep
for the day when he will wake up
from hes godless deadlike sleep.
Since a while she heard these voices,
calling in her sleep at nights,
telling her she has to return
to become his mouldering wife. (to Pre-chorus)

* - 1/2 tone bend with reverse
Pre-chorus with Riff A (twice), distorted guitar plays chords (Riff A1):
[ E5 A#5 G5 F#5 ] - (Approximately)
Soon will come what she has told,
She cannot longer resist his call.
To be honest, Riff A1 is not played by the guitar, it is bass with
distortion.
But you can play it by guitar.
Chorus: clean guitar continues to play something simile to Riff A (I can't
tab it), while distorted guitar playes Chorus Riff. I tabbed it
approximately,
I can't catch it correctly. Every first 3 bars I placed only accented
chords.

V
Play Riff B 4 times, then comes Verse 2 (w/Riffs B and B1 - simile)
Long ago when they were younger
the were married, lucky times.
But then clouds locked the horizon,
a martyrium for his life.
The she's got this evil plan, she
put the poison in his tea.
And he passed away, real slowly,
no one noticed, she was free.
Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus. Then comes the solo (the word "vault" is
spoken
not with Riff B, but with Riff A).
Solo (with Riffs A and A1 - 4 times):

* - Slow bend 1/2 tone |----- *** -----|
** - I'm not sure, but I think it's artificial harmonic on 10th fret.
*** - Seemes, like these notes are slight harmonized...
The second part of solo consists all of artificial harmonic bends and
feedback
effects, I didn't tabbed it, yet. Sorry.
Then goes Interlude. Here I'm also not sure about Tab, but that's all I
could
transcribe. Guitar is clean tone, let ring.

Interlude Riff is played totally 7 times, but the last time it is drowned
by
the risin' volume heavy riff of distorted guitar (see below).
During the interlude words are spoken, approximately one sentence on each
repeat of the Interlude Riff, beginning with the 2nd repeat and ending on
6th.
"The truth, give me the truth!
You've killed me, and I want you to pay.
You've promised to be mine and I want you now.
I will make you follow!"
Distorted guitar enters:

Play Riff B ONCE ! -> To Verse 3 (with Riffs B and B1):
Now he took hold of her mind,
he's possessing her complete.
She's no longer self-controlled,
and he is moving her feet.
Lay her body then to rest,
covers her with his caress.
And the ground is broken up
when the new born mourning comes.
Pre-chorus:
Now has come what she was told,
She couldn't longer resist his call.
Chorus:
Oh, midnight and she's all alone
among the graves where's so dark and cold.
Oh, she's heard his infernal voice from the vault.
FIN.
The last word "vault" is spoken in silence, no instruments sound.
