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

[G#](wi[-]th[D#] th[-]e [F]same F- like the Bb above)

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

Of a broken soul
Slips through these eyes
Full of tears
Emotional blackout

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