--Transcriber's Notes--
I have spent the past 6 months on these songs trying to
get them as perfect as possible. If you think further
corrections are needed, have the updated solos, or a
better version of this song please mail me at ArchEnemies
@aol.com. I plan on tabbing this entire album, I have
been hard at work making my previous 'FSSD' tabs better.
Enjoy!

(**) - see comment(s)
(^) - pause; stacatto
Gtr.1 - right channel (Eric Peterson)

--'INTO THE PIT' LYRICS--
(Skolnick, Peterson, Billy)
Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne
We're all the good, the bad
The worst and the best
And where they land is their eternal rest
Foul plays of passion
At twilight's dim
In joy of woe, of good and sin
Winds of storm and fates overcast
Darkly my presence
Is now your past
Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit!
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit!
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit!
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit!
So in the sad, silent watches of night
The lonely pathway envisions my sight
Echoes of laughter
And boundless cries
Son here I wander under infinite skies
Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit!
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit!
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit!
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit!
