"I am thine own begotten, Dionysus

Divine Mars, thou call'st me son

And thou, Apollo, my begin gav'st me

That dream hath my mind inflamed

And everyone a star hath become

My brothers and sisters in cosmic ectasy

Millions of sins and virtues were they

And all, the whole wealth of my life

That neither the end nor the beginning had

I could bestow"

Riff 3, play 6 times

*Again whammy on this note, just listen to it.

Play riff 2

"Exploring our gracious flight, hither,

We could make love to numberless stars,

With our tiny hand the world embrace

Learn it and forget it, be begotten and die

Forever exist, only mightier and absolute

Myself am Solaris

Universe and oneness

Nothingness and chaos am I"

Play riff 3

"The last bow to thee, Earth, before

I ride a cosmic snake and devour the stars,

Before I become the beast

And no mortal man durst my magic defy

Planet Satan, receive the eternal possessor!

Me for myself I ascend thee

Me for the world"

Solo 2 - first part

This is very weird and probably uses right hand tapping, it starts with something like this:
