Outro, Verse Variation #2. They play this variation through out, add it in whenever you
it is right.
Same rhythm as the chorus, but the chords slightly change.

D A A# Dm A# G

Thats basically it, maybe small details I left out, but enjoy it, its fun as hell to
especially at the end with lots of gain.
Bonus: A nice finish to it is to copy the bassline walk down, which is
A H A#, G H A, D, or (7h97-5h75-0) on D.
Thats B

repeats throughout verse:
I. [oh.] must go on staaanding-
i'm not my own, it's not my choice
I. [oh.] must go on staaanding-
i'm not my own, it's not my choice
this part gets confusing- it's important to use the chord changes to punctuate the
here, and let them ring through out each line.
(Dm "be afraid of the cold" DmBb "they'll inherit your blood" BbGm etc)

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi le deluge, after me comes the flood
also, this song has a pile of russian in it that translates to (VERY roughly)
"February. Buy ink, cry about it,
Write about it, sob your heart out, sing,
While the rain that you pour down
Burns in the blackness of the spring."
