Note: OK, I know that the tuning isn't normal (actually the E is
dropped D) but you can play it in normal tuning as well. However,
if you want it to sound perfect just re-tune your bass and
retranscribe the song (...pretty easy).

"When a man lies, he murders
some part of the world.
These are the pale deaths
which men miscall their lives.
All this I cannot
bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of
salvation take me home?"
- Cliff Burton
