[Dbm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] Traveled up the country [A] from a town down south
[Dm] Where the laws are governed by your [A] lack of fiction
He [Dm] _ was a man [A] of supreme extravagance
[Dm] Sent to us to test our human [A] contradiction
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] He was just a [A] mysterious stranger

_ _ [Dm] He sang a song of [A] his redemption
He [Dm] sang a song of seven sins that [A] plague the dead
_ _ [Bb] Soul thus sings [A] when sorrow brings [Dm] us down
You could believe [A] nothing's set in stone
Anything could change the way you see by [Dm] what is known
For when the light shines bright on the [Dbm] right side
[A] You're left blind to the light that the [Dm] shadow hides
But what is your perspective?
[E] Could you acclimate the empathy enough to try and [Dm] respect it?
To praise God as a man is the hope
[Dbm] Just to crucify the [A] devil when you needed the [Bb] smoke

[A] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ thus sings [A] when sorrow brings [Dm] us down
Jesus cried [A] inside the manger
_ [Dm] But his tears were never once [A] written about
_ _ [Dm] And was he weeping, [A] hallelujah
Or [Dm] was he weeping for the sins he [A] lived without?
I _ [Dm] _ take my sword down [A] through the river
May [Dm] the waters wash above my [A] weary head
_ _ [Dm] The river rests and the [A] river wakes
The river calms and the [Dm] river breaks
The river gives and the [A] river takes you to its bed
[Bb] Soul thus sings [A] when sorrow brings [Dm] us down
Do people really know how to [A] take?
They understand forgiving when they make a [Dm] mistake
They understand strife and the value of [A] life
But yet forget to ever stop and question whether it's [Dm] right
We're subject to morality, morality of [A] that which is subjective
And act upon the fact that we know that [Dm] this is a collective
Remedy the enemy the [A] populace picks
And implement the prejudice the [Dm] scourge permits
How strong are your convictions that a [A] heaven exists?
Is it enough to sacrifice the choice of [Dm] life to persist?
Always knowing that our growing keeps us [A] safe and snug
Life is easy sweeping under the [Dm] rug
But deep down we know the truth about [A] death
When it finally comes we know there ain't nothing left
[Dm] Because God isn't different, nobody is [A] innocent
And we invent the definition of the [Bb] infinite
Well I can do what's right and I [A] try
But if you want God, well then fuck it, [Dm] let him die
The river rests and the river [A] wakes
Follow me down, [Dm] down to the gate
[A] Follow me down, [Dm] heaven awaits _
[A] Follow me down, [Dm] don't hesitate _
[A] Follow me [Bb] down, so the sin [A] sorrow brings
[Dm] Down _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] to the [A] gate, follow me down
_ _ [Dm] Don't hesitate, [A] follow me down
[Dm] Heaven awaits, [A] follow me [Bb] down
So the sin [A] _ sorrow brings [Dm] us down _ _ _
