Riff 1 is played under the intro solo, then played in a muted version with the extra note

just in different rhythms and muted/unmuted, so pay attention.  Example: The muted riff 
at 2:12.

 Riff 3 also arises a few different times, just pay attention for when.

	I I just love this track, love the the riffs the vocals, Dan Swanös vocal, and it's imo one of there best albums, but the again they also have Dan Swanö with them on that album :)

No Picture brad Rhythm Player	#2 by brad music at Apr 8, 2000 at 10:57 AM EST
	He was only a guest vocalist, though. But I agree, this song kicks ass. =)

No Picture danielle Lead Player	#3 by danielle woodley at May 18, 2006 at 1:45 AM EST
	This seems to be about waking the Set within you; the dark, raw forces. There seems to references to different cultures: Set of Egypt, Shaitan of Islam Aiwass of Thelema For example.
