Got this song almost to where I want it. 
Lyrics and details below
Kurt Borst:: lead vocals
Claire Brock:: drums and percussion
Gary Pickard:: flute solo
Ben Asaro (BA):: acoustic and electric guitar, bass, keyboards and synthesizers, gang vocals
The main guitar solo was a tradeoff with Jose Bahamonde (JB), tracked live in the studio (no punching in or overdubs).
The solo's structure is: BA/JB/BA+JB/JB/BA
FATHER TO SON
MINSTREL:
Harken thy ear
And hear my song true
Gone is the Prince
The end of his rule
HORATIO:
Run on to the battlement
Look into the fog, what do I see?
Eyes of the old king appear
Looking back at me
HAMLET:
Dear Father
Is it really you?
Apparition, perdition
From father to son
Madness reigns
OLD HAMLET:
Dear Hamlet
If you only knew
Sedition, suspicion
Trust no one at all
When madness reigns
OPHELIA:
How shall I know true love?
Staff and his cockle hat
Into the ground he went
Stone at his heel
Sepulcher white his shroud
Cold as a mountain-top
Laden with flowers
And unto the ground he will go
HAMLET:
I sit alone through the night
Doing wrong for what is right
Ophelia, I soon will follow
LAERTES:
Father to son, we are what you once were
Poison the tip, poison my deeds
Straight through the heart of the matter
I strike home
HAMLET:
As above, so below
Death will reap what Treason's sown
OSRIC:
Take your places
Rapiers at five paces
Say the Last Rites
I want a fair fight
Soothe your troubled faces
MINSTREL:
They're rushing forth, she takes a drink
O, the Queen has fallen, poison acting quick
HAMLET:
To catch a king the play's the thing
To slake his thirst for murder
He will pay
End of vi'lence, all is silence now
And can't be undone
Ere forgiven, leave the living now
My story lives on
My dear friend believe me
Fortinbras succeeds me
HORATIO:
Sleep, sweet Prince
It's over
Flight of angels
Sing thee to thy home
