           TRANSCRIBED BY : Dennis "SPEED OF LIGHT" Riedner


This song is worked out for the lead guitar (Andre Olbrich)
But I think it should be no problem to figure out the rythm...
I don`t give the correct number of notes during the `MOTORSAW` - parts,
I think you should play so well, that you manage this with your rythm-feeling!

INTRO :

Easy, isn`t it?
Just figure out the scramblin` rythm durin` the       
percussive rakes (the x-es)                           

VERSE 1 :

No problem, just listen to the song for timing!

LEAD 1 :

Easy too!

VERSE 2 :
Just play the main riff the FIRST time with the FIRST ending and
the SECOND time with the SECOND ending! GOT IT?

CHORUS :

Yeah, it is realy difficult to stroke these powerchords...

VESRE 3 :

Listen to the song, don`t know if it is correct, but it should be close!

VERSE 4 :

Practice this part carefully, I am sure it is played so high on the neck,
coz I have seen this song live, and watched at Andre`s guitar!

SOLO :

Hmm... what should I say???
I think it is an easy but a good solo, mail me, if I had writen some shit
down there!!!!
At the end, I had tabbed down Marcus part, coz maybe some of you would
like to have it !

VERSE 5 :

It`s like Verse 2, but it starts 2 chords later!

VESRE 6 :

no comment!

VERSE 7 :

A real good end, isn`t it?


SONG - STRUCTURE


INTRO

VERSE 1
Close to insanity
beond the realms I've been
at darkest places
I'm crying
"The dragon flies"

LEAD 1

VESRE 2
Something savage
is yearning for me
I'm waiting afraid for the night
what will be                                    <-ending 1
I've lost myself
a few days ago
it's touching my soul
and a vision of past dreams comes true          <-ending 2
 
CHORUS
Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
This town must burn now
Welcome to dying
Can't You see the dragon's seed bears in me

VESRE 3
The one who's been before
many times I terrorized this town
many times and here I start again
now I'm stronger and so cold
cold as ice
returning is my destiny
now I feel it's growing up in me
now I feel it's burning deep in me

VESRE 4
I'm not what I was before
could I stop this dream
I'm a stranger to myself
and I cannot control
 
CHORUS
Welcome to dying
I don't let it out
Welcome to dying
Look to the mirror it shows what I am
Welcome to dying
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
Welcome to dying
The dragon's breath I don't let it out

SOLO
 
VESRE 5
I'm a savage
it's too late for me
the other side's taking controll and I know     <- ending 1
there's one way I can walk alone
or the dragon will fly
and a growing fear's all that I feel            <- ending 2
 
Ref. (1st)
 
VERSE 6
Welcome to dying (6x)
Can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me

VERSE 7
Spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
I spread my wings and fly away
