The lyrics are:

Watching horror films the night before          Maybe your mind is playing tricks
              D5      C5     D5                                                   F5          G5       D5
debating witches and folklore                        you sense and suddenly eyes fix
                       Bb5                    C5                                Bb5                       C5
the unknown troubles on your mind              on dancing shadows from behind
.
Now play Riff 8 ( 4 times ) and instead of the 2nd measure play this the 4th time.

Guitar 1 & Guitar 2: Clean sound
                   When I'm   walking   a     dark     road   I  am   a       man   who  walks      a-lone.
