Tom: Gb
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: I never was, nor am now, a fan of Hot in the shade; sure there
were a few decent songs but as a whole I didn't like it much. That's why
I love this song. The first time I heard it was when MTV showed the video
and I flipped. Gene was back in killer form and the riffs were not of this
earth. This was indeed a Revenge worth the wait. The song is characteristic
for its lack of full power chords; there are plenty of little diads and
octaves but very few three-note chords. Nevertheless it creates a very big
sound due to the guitars and bass often playing in unison for the riffs.
Look out for the wonderfully strange 7 against 4 feel at the end of the solo.
And the solo is just right for this song: it screams, stings, spits and moans.
I was very happy to see Bruce go the more conventional blues box route on
this album (although this doesn't exactly fit that bill), I think it fits
him better than the 80's style guitar-hero antics he often got caught up
there's an extremely obnoxious guitar (I've never heard such over the top,
headphones and prepared to be stunned.

[Rhy. Fig 1a]
I was there through the ages
Chained snakes to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
[Rhy. Fig 2]
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
[Rhy. Fig 3a]
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
[Rhy. Fig 4a]
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....

Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
[Rhy. Fig 2]
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
[Rhy. Fig 1b]
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
[Rhy. Fig 3b]
You created me
On the day that you were born
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm

Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die

And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
