CHORUS Time to see, believe this in me,This pain that i feel deep inside Props to Malcolm Tan for the Lyrics BRENDANS BIT COMMENT: I'm pretty sure that a 7-String Guitar is used on this album so it's pretty hard to match the low end heaviness... But the Dropped D tuning does come pretty close!!! Comments? Corrections? Requests? Brendan Demeris
