"I am thine own begotten, Dionysus
Divine Mars, thou call'st me son
And thou, Apollo, my begin gav'st me

That dream hath my mind inflamed

And everyone a star hath become
My brothers and sisters in cosmic ectasy
Millions of sins and virtues were they
And all, the whole wealth of my life
That neither the end nor the beginning had
I could bestow"

Riff 3, play 6 times

*Again whammy on this note, just listen to it.

Play riff 2
"Exploring our gracious flight, hither,
We could make love to numberless stars,
With our tiny hand the world embrace
Learn it and forget it, be begotten and die
Forever exist, only mightier and absolute
Myself am Solaris
Universe and oneness
Nothingness and chaos am I"

Play riff 3
"The last bow to thee, Earth, before
I ride a cosmic snake and devour the stars,
Before I become the beast
And no mortal man durst my magic defy
Planet Satan, receive the eternal possessor!
Me for myself I ascend thee
Me for the world"

Solo 2 - first part
This is very weird and probably uses right hand tapping, it starts with something like this:
e|--------------------------|
B|-t12p5h8-repeated---------|

E|--------------------------|
