Оn the second time, there is a tempo break that I can´t exactly transcribe,
you´ll have to figure it out by yourself. The difference is that the E chord lasts a
little longer.

Strike a D5 chord and go back to intro riff.
Play verse again, chorus again, strike the D5 chord again and go to this part:
e------------------------------------------------------------------

A flute enters. Guitar plays this:

b------------------------------------------------------------------
g------------------------------------------------------------------
d----6-----6-----6--------4-----6--------4----6--------------------
a----4-4-4-4-4-4-4...-4-4-2-4-4-4----2---2--3-4... (repeat)--------
E------------------------------------0-----------------------------
. . . . . . . .
Strike C# 7 times before striking the B.
After this, repeat the whole first part again.
There´s a strings part and then the guitar enters.

I´m not very sure if this strumming is correct. Good luck :P

g------------------------------------------------------------------
d----9-----12-10-9-------------------------------------------------
a----7-------------12-10-9--------10-------------------------------
E--------------------------12-10--8--------------------------------
This passage is very low... I´m not even sure if this is really a guitar, but
I guess it is. However, if you don´t play it and go straight to the C chord, no-one will
notice :)
Well, after that:
e------------------------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------------------------------------------
g------------------------------------------------------------------
d----9-------7--------------------------7---9---------------------
a----7-------5-------7------------------5---7-------------------- E--------------------5---0000000000--------------------------------

Again, only strings... (Without yooou the poetry in me... blabla)

aaaaaaaah you don´t expect my poor self to tab out all those fast notes, do you?
The only help I can ofer you is that it´s in Eb major. Have a good time!
Later, after Emppu´s epileptic attack, we have this:

Toll no bell for me, Father
But let this cup of suffering pass from me
Send me no shepherd to heal my world
But the Angel - the dream foretold
Prayed more than thrice for You to see
The wolf of loneliness in me
...not my own will but Yours be done...
You wake up, where´s the tomb?
Will Easter come, enter my room?
The lord weeps with me
But my tears fall for you
Another beauty
Loved by a Beast
Another tale of infinitely dreams
Your eyes they were my paradise
Your smile made my sun rise
Forgive me, for I don´t know what I gain
Alone in this garden of pain
Enchantment has but one truth:
I weep to have what I fear to lose
(Repeat chorus)
"Iknew you never before
I see you never more
But the love, the pain, the hope, О beautifull one
Have made you mine, ´till all my years are done"
Without you
The poetry within me is dead
"You tell me, my love; It´s not love if it´s not forever.
But let me tell you;
A Scene could be much more to remember than the play itself."
With Wishes for you, in June ´98
