 Transcription by * (erik gotborn)

 Taken from the album "Ready for boarding".

 Some parts of the riffs are played with muted strings, and it's not
 always transcribed, but in some places they are. That can be a little
 bit confusing, but if you listen to the record it won't be too
 difficult.
 This song is not complete, a solo before riff 7a is not included.

 DIABOLIC FORCE
 Riff 1 x1
 Riff 2 x2
 Riff 3 x2
 Scared up raven yells, in the cemetary darkness falls
 Smouldering firebowls, from eternity hell's usher howls
 Tonight

 The vault hears a fatal vow of the preacher veiled in a cowl
 He swears the righteous sovereign for an alliance to rouse the flame
 Tonight

 Riff 4 x1
 Riff 5a x1
 Diabolic force, occult enemy
 Diabolic force, live eternally

 Riff 6a x2
 Riff 6b x1
 Riff 6a x1
 Riff 2 x2
 Riff 3 x2
 He takes the wrought-iron cross, fulfilling the fiend's cause
 He breaks beyond's boundary, the fate's sealed on this cemetary
 Tonight

 The preacher bows his head, sinking he beats all the dread
 Falling in a black abyss, hearing the demon's hiss
 Tonight

 Riff 4 x1
 Riff 5b x1
 Diabolic force, occult enemy
 Diabolic force, live eternally

 Riff 2 x2
 Riff 3 x2
 The preacher bows his head, sinking he beats all the dread
 Falling in a black abyss, hearing the demon's hiss
 Tonight

 Vultures of death are flying, under their cry the evil's dying
 Destroying society of hate, like thunderstorms they bring their fate
 Tonight

 Riff 4 x1
 Riff 5b x1
 Diabolic force, occult enemy
 Diabolic force, live eternally
