Some arpeggiated chords, let ring throughout. (Still distorted) The

Now, the keyboard solo. The guitar plays the intro riff (slightly modified
here and there) :

At this point another distorted guitar enters playing a familiar melody,
the rhythm guitar just plays the power chords indicated.(B minor tonality)
The melody and chord progression are of course reminiscent of Metropolis
pt. 1 and appear later in Home.

The sextuplet run leads into a mixolydian solo in F#. A similar melody
returns in One Last Time (2:03), with some wild modifications, though.

Rhy Fig. 1 is repeated here, doubled with an acoustic guitar. After that,
the lead guitar returns with another melody (bridge pickup again). The
rhythm guitar plays again the power chords indicated. The chord
progression used here is the main progression in One Last Time and also
appears in Finally Free. (key of C# minor)

Here the sixteent run modulates to C Major, the rhythm guitar strikes
single chords, I placed the chord symbols directly above the corresponding
melody notes.

Here, the part leading directly into Strang Deja Vu begins. The same riff
is played in the 2nd verse. Tonality oscillates between G# and F Lydian.
