After repeating, Gtr. 1 hits a low A and then plays a fill kind of like this:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|--7-7-8p7-7-8p7-7-8p7-7-8p7-7-7-7--|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
This fill reappears many times in the song, sometimes with an altered rhythm.

*Bend up to an arbitrary pitch somewhere around 1/2 step or 1 step from F.
Chorus
Both guitars clean, probably with piezo pickup.
(this part I'm still not 100% sure on, but this sounds correct to me)

There's probably a million more layers of guitar, but they're buried under vocals,
bass and percussion.
After repeating chorus:

Silence
Cold skin
Black mind
Blue light
Broken
Shut down
Knuckles
All white
Babel
Cold fact
Core mine
Black gold
Failure
Lockdown
Gun-hands
All sold
We're waiting, so close your eyes
Relax and take a deep breath now
Believe the lies
When you wake up you'll be democratized
Violence
Cold pin
Blood crust
Blinded
Damp sheets
Needles
Stale smiles
Sick bed
Guiltknife
Scarsoil
Sinstain
Killchrome
Footbare
Gone wrong
Blue lights
Bring me home
We're waiting, so close your eyes
Relax and take a deep breath now
Believe the lies
When you wake up we'll all seem nice
So close your eyes
Just take another deep breath now
And fantasize
Pretend the world we're forming
Is a paradise
Why can't I close my eyes
Why can't I just be hypnotized
Industrialized and privatized
All mesmerized
'Cause I can see
And what I see around me makes me paralyzed
Yes I can see
And what I see is not worthy a democracy
It's uncivilized
So please close my eyes
I don't want to see this undemocratic, semi-automatic mediocracy and hypocracy
Pretending we're free under plastic flags waving dependency for this idiocracy
Close my eyes...
