F#m C#m B A G# F#m
G#sus4 G# C#m B A G# F#m
G#sus4 G#
[Verse 1]
C#mSee the manA who standsB upon the hill G#m
A He dreams of allF#m the battles won G#sus4 G#
But C#mfate had leftA its scarsB upon his face G#m
A With all the daF#mmage they had done G#sus4 G#
[Pre-Chorus]
And so Atired with age B
He turnsG# the page C#m
BLet the flesh A
Submit itself to graG#vity
[Chorus]
Let our boAdies lay while our heartsB will stay
Let our bloodG#m invade if I dieC#m in pain B
Now,A if your convictions were a passBing phase
May your ashG#mes feed the river in the mornC#ming rays B
A And as the vermin crawls
We layF#m in the foundaG#tions of decaC#my
[Verse 2]
C#mHe was there,A the dayB the towers fell G#m
A And so he wanF#mdered down the road G#sus4 G#
And C#mwe would allA build toBwers of our own G#m
A Only to watchF#m the roots corrode G#sus4 G#
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's Amuch too late B
You're inG# the race C#m
BSo we'll Apress
And press 'til you can't takeG# it anymore
[Chorus]
Let our boAdies lay while our heartsB we'll save
Let our bloodG#m invade if I dieC#m in pain B
A And if, by his own hand, his spiBrit flies
Take his boG#mdy as a relic to be caC#mnonized,B now
A And so he gets to die a saint G#
But she will always be the whorC#me
[Breakdown]
You look stressed out!
Against faith! Antihero!
Against all life! As if it must be pure!
Against change! Wander through the ruins!
We are free! The guiltiness is yourAs B
[Bridge]
You mustG#m fix your heart C#m B
A And youB must build an alG#mtar where it rests C#m E
[Chorus]
When the storAm decays and the skyB it rains
Let it flood,G#m let it flood, let it washC#m away B
A And as you stumble through your lastB crusade
Will you welG#mcome your extinction in the mornC#ming rays? B
A And as the swarming calls, we layG# in the foundations
[Outro]
Yes, it C#mcomfBorts Ame G#much F#mmore
G#sus4 G# Yes, it C#mcomfBorts Ame G#much F#mmore
To layG#sus4 in the foundaG#tions of decay C#m
Get up, coward!
