Now Cliff starts the spoken part:

Riff 1 x6
(spoken): When a man lies, he murders some part of the
world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their
lives. All this i cannot bear to witness any longer.
Cannot the kingdome of salvation take me home?

Riff 3 x2

Riff 1 x2

This is the outro part. Repeat and fade a bunch of times. Segues into
"Dyers Eve"

Dear 'TheExile', How many Gene Shallet reviews did you pilfer for such a torturously trite collection of phrases and sentiments? 'Sucrose', You complete horse's ass. It's a good thing you ended your post by saying "Fuck all non-Metallica fans," because, you know, a reader might mistake you for a nancy-boy given your revelations of crying and all. *snicker-snicker* But ohhhh no! How wrong they would be! Just check out how 'Sucrose' ends his post: "Fuck all non-Metallica fans...". WOO! YEAH!!! Dude, you are so METAL!!!! Hey, you know who else is 'deep' besides 'TheExile'? Metallica! Check out these lyrics.'!!! Bang your head against the stage Like you never did before Make it ring Make it bleed Make it really sore In a frenzied madness with your leather and your spikes Heads are bobbing all around It is hot as hell tonight

This song gets me every time, for an instrumental it just has so much feel espeacilly strait after the solo when the riff comes in then kicks out to acoustic with the electric voluming over that then the solo comes in. Its just a beautiful momrnt.
