House of Heroes – Choose Your Blade (Guitar)

        Dm                                                  F
It was a numinous night, wet and cold like the last week of autumn

        Dm                                            F
I felt a shiver dividing my bones from the top to the bottom

               Gm                                             Bb        Bb A
And there were two of me then, one part flesh and the other a phantom

        Dm                                         F
To the phantom I said, get behind me, ye vamp of Diablo

             Dm                                           F
It said, you speak out of turn, I am born of the shadow inside you

           Gm                                                  Bb        Bb A
And I have lived in your heart and with it I've become quite accustomed

Dm                                       Gm
Choose your blade, we shall dance in the blood and the rain

                     C
I grow sick of your whispered betrayals

Bb                A   Bb            A  
Go where the dead go, tu estas muerto

Dm                                      Gm
Choose your blade, I won't be held as a prisoner of shame

                    C
I grow sick of your lies and your games

Bb              A   Bb                 A   Dm
Get thee behind me, you shall not bind me

         Dm                                         F
It was a coward's decision when I offered you sanctuary

            Dm                                                 F
I knew it, right then and there that our cartel would be my undoing

        Gm                                           Bb        Bb A
But I, rationalized and believed every mangled half truth
