As always, I've made little attempt at timing in the tab, but it's easy to pick up. One other thing: although my guitar is in tune, I'm not sure if it's perfectly in tune for open E (which is what I've tabbed the song in). I don't think it'll be more than a half step or two out, but keep it in mind if the tab sounds wrong.

For those who can't make it out, this is what I *think* it is: "Encroaching evening skies die with such tragedy And those interred in cold graves dwell on pleasures to be In deep hysteria where our legend still breathes Through sweet death and thereafter sweeping nightmares ... shalt feed" Okay, that's it. Later.
