shure it can be done in a better way, but then again, the intro/theme is played 
on organ on the record and is not made for a guitar...

	Also a song by the Swedish Folk/Black Metal band Vintersorg, for anyone interested. I take it that Vintesorg covered Uriah Heep, but I dont know the specifics. Incredible (albeit mysterious) song on both versions.

	I love this song, it's a very dark song for Uriah Heep. I'm not sure if there's a deeper meaning to it, like The Nomad from Iron Maiden had, but this song is savagely awesome.
