 Numbers above staff show duration of note/rest (8=eighth, 4=quarter, 2=half,
 1=whole,4.5=dotted quarter, etc.)
 
 I've attempted to get the exact timing, but there's some parts (in the
 second riff, for example) where I'm not sure I transcribed perfectly.
 Listen to the song if you can't seem to get it.
 
 I didn't transcribe the lead because I don't know it.

 [RIFF 1]
 
 [Verse 1, play RIFF 2 underneath]
 Down in the depths of my firey home
 The summons bell will chime
 Tempting you and all the earth
 To join our sinful kind
 
 There is a job to be done and I'm the one
 You people make me do it
 Now it is time for your fate and I won't hesitate
 To pull you down into this pit
 
 [Chorus, play RIFF 1 underneath]
 So come on
 Jump in the fire
 So come on
 Jump in the fire
 
 [Verse 2, play RIFF 2 underneath]
 With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins
 The end is closing in
 Feeding on the minds of man
 And from their souls within
 My disciples all shout to search out
 And they always shall obey
 Follow me now my child not the meek or the mild
 But do just as I say
 
 [Repeat Chorus]
 
 [Play RIFF 3 several times behind lead (not transcribed]
 
 [Verse 3, play RIFF 2 underneath]
 Jump by your will or be taken by force
 I'll get you either way
 Trying to keep the hellfire lit
 I am stalking you as prey
 Living your life as me I am you you see
 There is part of me in everyone
 So reach down grab my hand walk with me through the land
 Come home where you belong
 
 [Repeat Chorus]
 
 [Play RIFF 2 several times behind lead (not transcribed]
 [Fade]
