[Gbm] I heard [Bm] the thunder [Em] and lightning struck by your talented days.
Oh, the world [A] wasn't frightened.
You sent the whole world [E] [Em] away.
And now your heart on [B] their own in your tower of tears.
Every [Bb] step and [A] every stone filled with millions of [G] fears.
You're poisoned blood [E] and brittle [Em] bones start to clutter and crack.
[B] Bend your head like [Em] a horn.
[B] [Em]
Cut down by the cruel and the crass foe.
Catch up in the mighty and the high.
Ain't no [A] 11th and good to go.
No truth in a world [Em] full of lies.
I run from giving [B] fed and foes from the stumble of ground.
And all [Bb] the greed [A] you go back to their holy [D] ground.
[Em]
Wash their hands of all the blood that you borrow and [B] swore.
Keep the good men [Em] down.
[B] [Em]
[A] Shake the hands of holy goats.
Dance along in every coast.
[Em] Share your flesh with passing shadows and a bed of broken hopes.
Be [A] sure to breathe in deeply every bit of sin that your lungs [B] can't hold.
Welcome all your [D] bastard actions [E] back [A] home.

[E] [A] [E] [A]
[D] Why do we [E] cry?
That we're [Am] no longer [E] graceful.
And all the times we were to cut and shed [A] had our way.
We were hard-hearted heathens to the [G] soul-saving saints.
Spilling blood in the [A] same God-totem name.
We [D] were the heathens to their [Bb] saints.
[A] Spilling blood in the same God [Em]-totem name.
[A] Shake the hands of holy goats.
Dance along in every coast.
Share [E] your flesh with passing shadows and a bed of broken hopes.
Be sure to [A] breathe in deeply every bit of sin that your lungs [B] can't hold.
Welcome all your [Am] bastard actions [E] back home.
