[E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When [Em] does it _ get _ _ quiet? _
[Am] _ _ Time _ was _
[E] _ [B] supposed _ _ _ [G] to _ _ _ _ [B] extinguish the [Em] _
_ _ desire _ _ But [A] the _ _ [Am] embers won't _
[B] snuff _ _ _ out _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ Haunted [A] by your _ _ [Am] smiles _ The [B] mass keeps _ [G] _ getting _ _ _ _ [B] _ heavier
[Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ One [Am] step forward, _ _ two _
[B] _ steps _ _ _ back _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] There's a noose around my _ neck
[B] And the further I get [G]
It's _ harder and [B] harder [Em] to breathe
_ _ _ And [A] I _ [Am] find _ a [B] way _ to cut [G] the _ _ _ [B] _ _ rope
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ I've [A] been waiting [Am] for dawn But [E] the [B] light is all gone
[G] Don't know if [B] I'm _ [Em] already _ _ blind
_ _ Did [Am] I _ leave _ _ [E] it _ [B] all _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ behind? _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ What's it [Em] really _ _ _ for?
If [Am] it's _ not _ [G] yours and _ [B] it's _ not [Em] _ mine
This _ _ victory's _ _ not _ what [A] I _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[B] hoped _ _ _ for _ _
_ _ _ How _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ was [Am] I to _ know _ _ _ [Em]
that _ [B] _ everything _ _ [G]
would end up [B] _ _ _ [Em]
like _ this
_ _ Survival [Am] of the _ _ fittest, _ _
[B] of _ sorts _ _ _
_ _ _ So I've [G] become [Am] the bringer of _ _ death, [B] the lover of _ [G] life
The _ one [B] who _ guards [Em] from the dark of the night _
[A] _ _ [Am] I'll be _ the [E] hammer [B] _ _ _ _ [G] of _ _ _ _ [B] war _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Justice _ and [Em] mercy [B] don't live side by _ side
[G] So in _ _ [B] retribution _
[Em] _ _ I'll buy _ _
[Am] _ I'll _ tip [Em] the _ [B] scales to _ _ _
[G] justice's _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Em] end
_ _ But can it make a _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] kill _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] or be _ _ _ _ killed?
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] What [B] a _ _ way _ _ [G]
to _ _ _ [B] live _ [Em] and _ die
I just [A] can't [Am] see the cycle [B] ever ending _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ How _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ can [Am] I _ _ _ correct [Em] the _ _ [B] damage _ done [G] when _ I [B] _ _ _ [Em] _
can't feel _ _ _ _
[Am] The consequences _ _ of my [Em] _
_ _ [B] _ _ recourse? _ _
_ _ _ So I've become [Am] the _ bringer of _ _ [E] death, the [B] lover of _ life
[G] _
The one [B] who guards [Em] from the dark of the night _
_ _ I'll be _ [B] the hammer _ _ _ _ [G] of _ _ war
_ [B] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] I've been _ waiting for _ dawn, [B] but the light is all [G] gone
Don't know if [B] I'm [Em] already _ _ _ blind _ _
[Am] Can I _ _ _ _ leave [B] it _ _ _ all _ _ [G] behind?
