Here is an improved version of this superb song by Fates Warning.
It sets the whole theme for the brilliant Ivory Gate of Dreams.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and claim (near) note-for-note perfection
on this one. (There's a challenge for all you critics)

Thanks to Tim Messick for his original tab and for his great taste.
