HALO OF FIRE
                            As recorded by Cathedral
                    (From the 2002 Album THE SEVENTH COMING)

Words and Music by Jennings/Dorrian/Dixon/Smee
Transcribed by Jefferson Camargo (JEFFMETAL)

 This song is chaotic as to the bone and has eerie melodies and riffs!
It is kind of lead the listener to despair and madness. Then in the
middle there's the most 'Sabbathic' riffs on the album.

 The ending is very beautiful 'cos comes harmonies are totally 'jazzistic'
and it really gives room to breath. Very interesting song as usual.
