This next part of the song is pretty tough (timing anyways)
I'd definatley suggest learing itn sections and piecing it together
Otherwise the whole thing is can be frustrating taking it all in at one time

	It's based on a 1800's explorer that got lost in the North Pole

No Picture Nikky ♠ Average	#2 by Nikky ♠ at Jun 26, 1996 at 4:44 PM EST
	The book is a story about an alien who lives with humans and starts a cult, then gets killed by an angry mob. I don't think it has any connection to the song.
