New album is awesome, and I enjoyed this song rly much, that's why I decided to write a 
for it. If you think you found a mistake, please inform me.
You gotta listen to the rhytm, its not hard to catch it. If you pay attention while 
to the song, in the first(calm) part of the verse - he is stroking the strings on clean 
but later in the second(heavier) part of the verse - he starts sliding with distortion.
The key is F#m.
/ - means slide.
Intro + Chorus:
F#5Kiss the princess, C#5Empress of the dark,
F#5Drink the poison, lC#5isten to your heart,
F#5Feed the Princess, C#5Empress of the dark,
F#5All shall feel the A5firG#5e.
Verse 1:
                  C#5  A5/                 B5  E5/
The sun is going down, the curtain's falling,
                  C#5  A5/                 B5  E5  
The heat is rising now, the master's calling,
B5/                     C#5  A5/B5  
Into the night of thunder, into the dead of night,
B5/                     C#5  A5/B5  
And I will heed the calling and leave it all behind.
E5The holy man has lost the grail, G5signs of love from D5yesterday,
E5The eyes of god have turned away, G5the dream became D5alive,
A5All my life I've waited for the yG5earning in my hE5eart,
A5Right out there I see a star, the B5sun is going down.
Verse 2:
                 C#5  A5/                 B5  E5/
My heart is crying out, the fever's rising
                 C#5  A5/B5  
No one can stop me now, it's mesmerizing,
B5/                           C#5  A5/B5  
I break the chains that bind me, the chaos in my life,
B5/                           C#5  A5/B5  
I leave the world behind me and live in my own mind.
E5A holy land, another shore, G5no more pain and D5no more way,
E5She's calling me from far away, G5makes me feel D5alive,
A5Here I stand in front of her, G5losing my disE5guise,
A5No regrets, I'm standing there, wB5aiting for the bite.
Verse 3:
E5Another life, a different way, G5signs of life from D5yesterday,
E5The memory will fade away, the G5dream became aD5live,
A5Here I stand in front of you, G5tearing of the E5lies,
A5No regrets, I'm standing tall, I B5now am free to bite.
