[G] [D]
[G] [D] [G]
I was [D] first, maybe [G] I was last.
Confusion had descended.
I was [D] amazed by what had transcended [G] down to the pages of time.
As fading as a wall, I must climb.
[D] [G]
And [D] I was intrigued by [G] your spirit and your eyes which showed no pain.
You were screaming but I couldn't hear.
And your moments would never explain [D] why you condemned [G] me.
I assumed I was one of those sons of the dry land.
Seared the wall while I was climbing.
Some hero of my day, I've seen the face of [D] yours [Bm]
in [D] some way.
Who [G] would have been so lovely?
Love is what made the treasure.
Love is the wildest plan.
[D] And the people they [G] were singing, I could hear them from the street.
And my feelings, they were stinging.
I was submerged down to my defeat.
But then I smiled for a second.
And man, for that second I felt just fine.
As fading as a wall, I must climb.
So quiet is the terror.
It swallows me like the night.
So quiet is my sickness.
And these songs are still on the radio.
And I shall receive [D] my passion [G] eternally.
And from beyond the bitter stars I'll shine.
Down to the wall, I must climb.
In my world of hurt and [A] grief, it only hurts me.
When [Bm] [G]
I perform myself to me, to the always in you.
Fading as a wall, I must climb.
And I ain't mad, these are the shadows.
And it's looking for something to do.
Until we find one of the battles of the evil and the true.
And the judge is there in recess.
Until he receives some sort of sacred sign.
Relief is a wall I must climb.
And [D] have you ever looked [G] at your face so much, until it became askew?
[D] Because the road that's less traveled, is the one [G] that leads right back to [D] you.
[G] Lord, I'm frightened for I fear that my lack of life, it is my crime.
