After repeating the above riff 5 times it goes into something extremely similar but
where the guitar eventually fades out, its hard to hear whats happaning properly
over all the noise though.

^ Rings
This last note in the third bar above (1 : D*) rings into the following bar but gets
quiet rather quickly so that the note can't be heard by the end of the bar. You
can do this by palm muting the note gently at first and applying more pressure.
If you listen closely, you'll see what i mean.
The main riff is played another 7 times and then:

Rings till fade out
At the very end of the song, the riff from the next song on the album (Dstryr/Dstryr)
to play. The riff is as follows (im pretty sure its correct)

D|-----1-------3----|-----1-------3----|-----1-------3----|-----1---------|

If it wasn't for hate we'd be dead by now
If it wasn't for truth we'd have taken our bow
If it wasn't for love we'd have faded away
If it wasn't for hate, baby, I would have lost out today
It won't kill me, you can't stop me
If it wasn't for death, I know I'd never feel this alive
If it wasn't for lies, I probably wouldn't survive
If it wasn't for damn hypocrisy I wouldn't have to sing this song
If it wasn't for patience, baby, I couldn't wait it out this long
I'm killing everything you know
