 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 (brunor@sggs.wcape.school.za) 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.

  Riff 4a: "Still punished, still repenting..."
