_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] Crimson [Ab] veils and fairy tales and [Bbm] lights that seem [Eb] familiar
There's a doorway to [Ab] the temple [Gb] There's a spell that I've [Eb] been under
Given [Bbm] by the [Ab] spirits swimming [Gb] in the waters of [Ebm] redemption
When I look [Bbm] into [Ab] your eyes [Ebm] there's a truth I fail to mention
I do [Ab] believe in nothing [Ebm] short of anything I've hoped to be
[Bbm] I do deny [Ab] all that I know The [Ebm] demons they're so proud of [Db] me
Dancing with tragedy [Gb] and [Db] sorcery and mirrors
[Eb] You say that we [Db] are blind [Ab] But you [Db] say that God is near
_ [A] _
[Bbm] What you want, you [Ab] want, you want, you [Gb] want Kick it, it doesn't [Bbm] matter how
You need, you [Ab] need, you need [Gb] The living and bleeding there beside [Bbm] you
What you [Ab] want, you want, you [Gb] want Kick it, it [Bbm] doesn't matter how
You need, you [Ab] need, you need [Gb] The living and bleeding [Ebm] like some [Bbm] sacred cow
[Ab] I will [Gb] walk, I [Bbm] will walk _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] Burning [Bbm] like this I do
[Db] I will [Gb] walk, _
[Bbm] _ _ I will walk You [Ab] can love [Gb] or [Bbm] serve me for I've got this in me
[Ab] _ _ [Gb] It's _ [Bbm] _ your [Ab] charcoal days with [Ebm] arms that move like you were drowning
[Bbm] But no light cast [Ab] out from any shore [Ebm] Can stop the endless pounding
Of a mind [Ab] in disarray And a [Gb] heart that [Eb] sure seems broken
In [Bbm] the stables of your [Ab] dormant dreams [Ebm] The truth remains unspoken
[Bbm] [Ab] Sounding with the snarl of [Gb] engines running [Ebm] I heard voices
[Bbm] Seeking solace in [Ab] the silken streams [Gb] Of [Eb] jewels and rejoicing
[Db] _ _ _ [Gb] Victims lie like [Db] _ [Eb] a war that [Db] you've created [Ab] A monster of your _ _ [A] own
[Bbm]
What you [Ab] want, you want, you want [Ebm] Kick it, it doesn't matter [Bbm] how
You need, you [Ab] need, you need [Gb] The living and bleeding [Ebm] there beside [Bbm] you
What you [Ab] want, you want, you [Gb] want Kick it, [Ebm] it doesn't matter [Bbm] how
You need, [Ab] you need, you need [Gb] The living and bleeding [Ebm] like some sacred [Bbm] cow
[Ab] I will walk, [Gb] I will walk _
[Bbm] [Ab] I will walk [Gb] and destroy [Ebm] you in the [Bbm] process
