Tuning: 1/2 step down (EbAbDbGbBbeb)
Excellent song, one of my favourites. Acually most of it I figured out watching Kamelot's DVD. Now
the song is really easy, nothing weird, exvept for the fast part of the main riff of song. The
solos, well they are not perfect, but they are as close as I could get them. Is a cool song
to play cause sounds really heavy and is really easy, so enjoy.
