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 ;-)=

1 x 9/8
(9/8)
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

...if i only knew the name for that cord!)

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
Beat E **************************************************************04:20

I cannot trust my own feelings
My sorrow eats me up inside

Learn from mistakes
See what it takes
My feelings fail
