[A] [B]
[C#m] As [A] he walks [C#m] along [A] the gorge's [G#m] edge, he meets the [A] sense of [F#m] [E] yesteryear.
[C#m] A window [A] in the [C#m] bank [A] above his [G#m] head reveals his [A] home amidst [F#m] the [E] streets.
[F#] [G#m] Subway sounds, sounds of [E] complaint.
The smell [A] of acid on his gun of faint.
As [G#m] he carves out anger in a blood red band.
[A] Destroy tomorrow by night.
My [E] home!
[A#]
[D#] Is this the way out from the endless scene?
[D#m] Or [F#] just an entrance to another dream?
[A#]
[E]
[D] [C#m] But as the [A] skylight [C#m] [A] beckons him to [G#m] leave, he hears a [A] scream from [F#m] far [E] below.
[C#m] Within the [A]
raging [C#m] water, [A] writhes the [G#m] form of Brother [A] John.
He [B] cries for [E] help.
[G#m] The gate is fading now but open wide.
[A] But John is drowning.
I must decide [G#m] between the freedom I had in the rat race.
[A] Or stay forever in this forsaken place.
[E] Hey John!
[A#]
[D#] He makes for the river and the gate is gone.
[D#m] Back to [F#] the void where it came from.
