[Verse 1]
G                                D
The velveteen and oaken fixtures soothed the lonely child

The parents watched the escort take him while they stood outside

    C                                G              D
The priest was kind and gentle as he positioned his head

    A             C                  B          E
The pain was like brimstone, but the kid hardly bled

[Verse 2]
G                                     D
Among the parade crowd there stands a decorated man

D                            A
Remembering how he helped to save this sacred land

    C                           G                      D
His helpless enemy was wounded, both hands raised with hope

    A                 C                   B                 E
He killed him without second thought with brute force and a rope

[Bridge]
C              D             E    F#  G   D C
So many times, so many lives test the other side

C                       D            B
Waiting to see what the maker has in mind
[Verse 3]
G                              D
The unsuspecting commoners hum diligent each day

D                                     A
They wallow in their father's sins as time passes away

    C                                  G          D
The crimes are without motive but they ignore all restraint

    A         C                   B          E
The evil sits inside them torpid, timing its escape
