Now Cliff starts the spoken part:

Riff 1 x6
(spoken): When a man lies, he murders some part of the
      world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their
      lives. All this i cannot bear to witness any longer.
      Cannot the kingdome of salvation take me home?

Riff 3 x2

Riff 1 x2

 This is the outro part. Repeat and fade a bunch of times. Segues into
 "Dyers Eve"
