Unholy

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, [email protected] 
 
Tuned down 1/2-step 
 
Comments: I never was, nor am now, a fan of Hot in the shade; sure there 
were a few decent songs but as a whole I didn't like it much. That's why 
I love this song. The first time I heard it was when MTV showed the video 
and I flipped. Gene was back in killer form and the riffs were not of this 
earth. This was indeed a Revenge worth the wait. The song is characteristic 
for its lack of full power chords; there are plenty of little diads and  
octaves but very few three-note chords. Nevertheless it creates a very big 
sound due to the guitars and bass often playing in unison for the riffs.  
Look out for the wonderfully strange 7 against 4 feel at the end of the solo. 
And the solo is just right for this song: it screams, stings, spits and moans.  
I was very happy to see Bruce go the more conventional blues box route on  
this album (although this doesn't exactly fit that bill), I think it fits  
him better than the 80's style guitar-hero antics he often got caught up  
iin before. Oh, the  E's in Rhy. Figs 1a and 1b are semi-harmonics. And, 
there's an extremely obnoxious guitar (I've never heard such over the top, 
bee-buzz-like distorsion before) that doubles some of the diads. Put on 
headphones and prepared to be stunned.

UNHOLY 
Simmons, Vincent 
 
{Fade in and randomly pick muted strings} 
{Rhy. Fig 1a} 
 
{Rhy. Fig 1a} 
I was there through the ages 
Chained snakes to their cages 
I have seen you eat your own 
{Rhy. Fig 2} 
I'm the cycle of pain 
Of a thousand year old reign 
 
{Rhy. Fig 1a} 
I'm suicide and salvation 
The omen to nations 
That you worship on all fours 
{Rhy. Fig 3a} 
I'm the infection and famine 
That's knocking at your door 
That's why you're feeling so 
 
{Rhy. Fig 4a} 
Unholy 
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm.... 
{Rhy. Fig 4b} 
Unholy 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
{Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Riff 1} 
I am the incubus 
I lay the egg in you 
The worm that burrows 
Through your brain 
{Rhy. Fig 2} 
But you are the beast 
That calls me by my name 
 
{Rhy. Fig 1b} 
You send your children to war 
To serve bastards and whores 
So now you know 
{Rhy. Fig 3b} 
You created me 
On the day that you were born 
 
{Rhy. Fig 4a} (2x) 
Unholy 
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm 
Unholy 
>From the left hand of power comes the father of lies 
{Rhy. Fig 4c} 
Unholy - Unholy! 
 
{Rhy. Fig 5} 
{Solo over Rhy. Fig 5 (3x)} 
{Rhy. Fig 6} 
 
{Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Riff 2} 
I lay you down to sleep 
Your soul to keep 
Better cross your heart before you die 
{Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Riff 3} 
And now you know 
Know that you are mine 
That's why you're feeling so 
 
{Rhy. Fig 4a (3x) w/ Outro solo} 
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy 
{Rhy. Fig 7} 
Unholy!!
