After one repeat of all three parts, lots of noise with effects. single clean note:
G--9-

Next part is Bassline-added, I'm not sure about it, but its close enough:

"Knife me in -hobbeling... " Repeat as much as needed...

Repeat part above through some heavy effects.

[Dont think I have enough mental strength to write down the instrumental part,
But it is improvised each (live) performence differently anyways.]
