    here's another of my favrite numbers -- simple chords but absolutely haunting melody complete with bells n all -- hope u listen to it n enjoy!

    Bm7 x24232
    Cmaj7 x32000

    Code:
    
    Em		     Bm7		Cmaj7		Bm
    the walls on which the prophet wrote is crackin at the seams
    
    Em		Bm7		   Cmaj7		Bm
    upon the instruments of death the sunlight brightly gleams
    
    Em		   Bm7		   Cmaj7		Bm
    when every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams
    
    Em		     Bm7	       Cmaj7		  Bm
    will no one lay the laurel wreath will silence drown the screams
    
    
    <chorus>
    
    Em		     Bm7	   Cmaj7	Bm
    confusion will be my epitaph as i crawl cut and broken down
    
    Em		            Bm7		   Cmaj7		       Bm
    if we make it we'll all sit back and rest  but i feel tomorrow i'll be cryin
    
    Em		            Bm7		Cmaj7		       B
    yes i feel tomorrow i'll be cryin yes i feel tomorrow i'll be cryin
    
    
    </chorus>
    
    
    between the iron gates of fate the seeds of time are sown
    
    
    and watered by the tears of those who know and who are known
    
    
    knowledge is a deadly friend if no one sets the rules
    
    
    the fate of all mankind i see is in the hands of fools
    
    
    <chorus>

    another crimson fan...aloha there!!
    I have listened to Red, Larks Tongue and In the Court of KC...amazing albims.
    Epitaph is awesome musically, though it is quite sad(depressing i guess).
