E5 The mark of religion and hatred that burns in the night

I didn't figure out the rhythm for the 2 guitar solos, it should be fiarly easy to come up with one, especially since Iron Maiden used mostly the E C D progression for solos, which this song utilizes, or could jump between D5 C5 and A5. See what works best for you..
