Tuning: E A D G B E
Neofolk piece from the Lucifer Over London EP (1994)
Beginning the track is an incredibly brief homage to Black Sabbath's Paranoid
While not played using the same notes, it's an obvious enough send-up - as supported by Tibet and Cashmore

BThe twisted wings and Gclouds unfold

GOver there the Esetting sun
AOver there the Bsetting sun

And Epiles spare ASpares Gin his Egab-Aled Broom
