This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

I've noticed that there is two guitars

playing on this bit below

but I don't know what fret it starts on.

You could try the section

above on the 9th fret of the d string

but to me it is more of a challenge this way.

At the last chorus, the guitar harmonizes

with the 'as we kill them all' guitar line.

It goes something like this -

I stand alone in this desolate space,

In death they are truly alive.

Massacred innocence, evil took place,

the angels were burning inside.

Centuries later, i wonder why

What secret they took to their grave,

still burning heretics under our skies,

Religion still burning inside.

At the gates at the walls of montseguer

Blood on the stones of the citadel

As we kill them all so god will know his own

the innocents died for the pope on his throne

catholic greed and its paranoid zeal,

gurse of the grail and the blood of the cross

Templar relievers with blood on their hands

joined in the chorus to kill on demand

Burned at the stake for their souls liberty

to stand with the cathars to die and be free

The book of old testament crippled and black

Satan his weapon is lust

living this evil damnation of flesh

back to the torture of life

The perfect would willingly die at the stake

and all of their followers slain

As for the knowledge of god they have claimed

religion still burning inside

At the gates at the walls of montseguer

Blood on the stones of the citadel

AS we kill them all so god will know his own

laugh at the darkness and in god we trust

The eye of the the triangle smiling with sin

no passover feast for the cursed within

Facing the sun as they went to their grave

burn like a dog or you live like a slave

Death is the price for your souls liberty

To stand with the cathars to die and be free

At the gates at the walls of montseguer

Blood on the stones of the citadel

YEEHAW! ENJOY!
