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 ;-)=

Trusting an illusion

Never ceasing love

Leaving scars that never heal
Becoming cynical
To this thing called love  --- D#-D

Look into my mind
Fragments of what I desired

Father please won't you show me

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
