One of the greatest pieces. 7:31 minutes never seemed so short.

Absolutely unbelievable!!

A little bit of both guitars...

With a little help of power chords...

Comments!?

About the tuning... well I tried it with standard E, but I have this strange

feeling that dropD must be in there somewhere... or worse!

seriously, it is dropD - so I just wrote the letters instead of chords, they should

be correct and you can pick whatever finger position you like ;-)=

I fooled myself again

Trusting an illusion

Of what I thought to be

Never ceasing love

I burned myself again

Leaving scars that never heal

Becoming cynical

To this thing called love --- D#-D

Look into my mind

Fragments of what I desired

In this state I cry

Father please won't you show me

Repeat Beat_A ************************************************2:18

Show me how

To stop it now

Cleanse my mind

Help me find

Love

Repeat Beat_B ******************************************************03:00

My soul is an open wound

Filled with salt of sadness

Was this my destiny

To be left alone

I nurse my misery

Leave no room for anyone

Still I am cynical

To this thing called love

Repeat Beat_D with Vocals********************************************03:24

Repeat Beat_A with Vocals********************************************03:41

A pale reflection

Of a broken soul

Slips through these eyes

Full of tears

Emotional blackout

4/4

during the last G the second guitar does:

-----------------|

My sorrow eats me up inside

Repeat Intro ********************************************************04:37

Learn from mistakes

See what it takes

My feelings fail

Your love remains
