Notices: "Still Life" is about a guy who's drawn like a magnet to
a pool of water, sees his face in the lake, has
nightmares about it,and in the end jumps in and takes
his unfortunate girlfriend with him. I think it is inspired by
Ramsey Campbell's "The Inhabitant of The Lake."
(This one's from an old posting in alt.rock-n-roll.metal).
What a great SONG.
But you can believe me, when i'm saying that the solo
is shitty tabbed out, but however you must use your ear
to hear the correct timing (it took about 15 minutes to
tab the solo out)
I think the intro is correct and the drum part is improved
like always


Tempo: 160 BPM

Lyric

"dnatsrednu t'nod uoy sgni't htiw elddem t'nod
ecnuob eert htiw gni't eht dias oh tahw mmmh mmmh"

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths, their faces beckoning me
Can't you see them? It's plain for all to see
They were there, oh I know you don't believe me

Oh, I've never felt so strange
But I'm not going insane

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there, I don't know what to do

Oh, they drain my strength away
Oh, they're asking me to stay

Nightmares
Spirits calling me
Nightmares
They won't leave me be

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool

Now I feel they are so near
I begin to see them clear

Nightmares
Coming all the time
Nightmares
Will give me peace of mind

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me, they want you too

Oh, we'll drown together
It will be forever

Nightmares
Forever calling me
Nightmares
Now we rest in peace
