I tabbed this cause I like this song. As simple as that. And I like tapping
and this song is basically 80% tapping so I decided I would give it a try.
And since there really isn't any Verse/Chorus separation, I just separated
the parts in Intro part A, Intro part B, Intro part C, Verse 1, Interlude,
Verse 2, Bridge, [Solo part A, Solo part B, Solo part C, Solo part D],
Verse 3, Outro. Once again, good luck guys. Oh and this tab is 100% accurate
guaranteed.
[The solo is complicated so I separated it for your convenience]
Oh and I don't think I did good on the lyrics, so don't count it against me.
(1/8/11)
- Feeling like a total idiot about a year after I tabbed this, I realized
there is no guitar 2... So I re-did this whole tab to remove the second
guitar. Sorry it took me so long TO REALIZE guys.
- Added the missing part of the solo at about 2:20, the tab is now 100%
complete.

Lovers of the dark, step into the light
We know your brave, youve come to see us dream
Many times before, now we open up a door
To a world so flaming bright, a world youve never seen
Can you hear the Banshee scream
Can you hear the Banshee scream
Can you hear the Banshee scream

Verse 2:
Same format as the first Verse.
You know that silence
Is not our middle name
Can you recognize the game
Step into the gate and
Grasp the hand of fate
Its a time machine, a devils dream
And yet its in your grasp
Legends of the past
Can you hear the Banshee scream
Banshee howling in the city
Means a knight has died
For what reason, for what glory
Who knows for what pride
Country king or criminal
War or vengeance, what the Hell?
Death is all the same
If he died in shame or Honor
Who on Earth can tell?
