Comments: This song kicks my ass! But that's only because it snuck up from behind with a foreign object (steel chair) and clocked me. Or something. But I do know for a fact that Fates Warning rocked the hell out of the world with the No Exit album. That's because Fates Warning rule. I don't know which album kicked more ass between No Exit and The Spectre Within, but they both rocked. But every Fates Warning album rocked. As for the tab, it came out just fine and dandy, and if you spot a mistake, point it out to me and I'll try to fix it, or you can send me the correction. Later, Supernova's and Black Holes of Depravity. BTW, I know it's lame when I do that. Too bad.
