Continue with Riff B through the rest of the lead. When the lyrics “Nightmare be thy Name” are sung alone, fade in with the chorus. Play
the interlude once more after repeating the chorus, then play Riff A; substituting the outro for the last part of the measure. I’ll type it out just to
avoid confusion.
