This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be... nothing is really seperated
on this album, so it's kinda hard to pick out single riffs at times. You may
find that this tab is a little different to the actual recording; this due to
me adapting the song a little for a live situation. Comments and corrections
or requests to Wither (*) Oh, tune down to D. I
don't think this is necessary (it would be easier not to, especially with
songs such as She Who Loves The Flames) but that's how I was tuned at the
time of transcription.
Riff 1: "A dying entity has left us..."

Okay, I really *hate* transcribing synth to guitar, but since the keyboards
make up a large part of this next piece, here it is. If you don't have a
keyboardist, get one! or learn to play them yourself.
