Hey, stranger what's your name?
Have we met before?
C#m                B                   G#m         A
    Take a look around, the scenes are all the same

F#m
I can see the veil is right behind me

C#m               B                  G#m    A
    I'll close my eyes and this will go away
(Have I ever said this before?)
C#m            B             E       A
If I just keep moving will I be okay
(Or panic in the mayhem?)
F#m              A
I can't take it, I can't take it

     B                     Caug
I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever

A                        D
Somebody please let me know

     F#m                 E
Just what it takes to begin

    A               Bm   C#m
To start all over again
[Post chorus]
A              Bm                 F#m
The truth has finally shown it's face

A               Bm            F#m
  How long have I been in this place?

A         Bm
  I never had a choice

C#m           F#m     E        D
  You blinded me and stole my voice

C#m    B
I will see you soon...

Hey, stranger what's your name?
Have we met before? [Verse 2]
C#m            B                G#m          A
    Do I even dare to question fate's design

F#m
(Or submit to such a bleak destiny?)

C#m               B         G#m           A
    There has to be another way than this

F#m
(It's a hopeless fight anyway)

C#m                 B             E          A
    I will not give up and wash away the sin
(I'm thirsting for the carnage)
F#m              A
I can't take it, I can't take it

     B                     Caug
I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever

Now that you've got me, what's next?

E5 D5 E5
Let me help...

F#5                      C#5 C5 B5
Now I destroy you, demon

F#5
Sinew is ripped to shreds

                                E5 D5 E5
Stripped from your body, crimson

F#5
Fury of righteousness will now consume you in death
[Bridge]
         C#m
It's the sweet, sweet song of your heartbeat

E
All I feel is a memory

F#m            G#m             A
Of the night I laid in bed with you

         C#m
It's the easy sound of your breathing

E
Tell me what I should've seen

F#m              G#m            A
Where was I when you fell fast asleep?
C#m B E A F#m G#m A C#m B E A F#m G#m
A B     F#m      G#m          A
I can't live without you by my side
