[Verse]
Dm C A# Am Tell you a thing that you ought to know Gm F Gm Am Two minutes of your time, then on you go Dm C A# Am Tell tale of the men all dressed in black Gm F Gm Am That most of them, not coming back Dm C A# Am Sent off to war to play little games Gm F Gm Am And on their return, can't name no names Dm C A# Am Some strange yellow gas has played with their minds Gm F Gm Am Has reddened their eyes, removed all the lies Dm C A# Am And strange as it sounds, death knows no bounds Gm F How many get well? Gm Am Only time will tell

[Verse 1]
D5 F5 C5 D5 You lie in your death bed now F5 E5 But what did you bring to the table? D5 F5 C5 Brought us only holy sin D5 F5 E5 Utter trust is a deadly thing D5 F5 C5 To the prayer of holy peace D5 F5 E5 We didn't know what was lying underneath D5 F5 C5 So how could we be such fools? D5 F5 E5 And to think that we thought you the answer
[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus2 Em F I can't begin to understand in all the lies G Dsus2 But on your death bed, I can see it in your eyes F G Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow D It really makes sense, I can really see it clearly now
[Verse 2]
D5 F5 C5 Tangled up in a web of lies D5 F5 E5 Could have been a way to prophesize D5 F5 C5 Unaware of the consequence D5 F5 E5 Not aware of the secrets that you kept D5 F5 C5 Nothing that we could believe D5 F5 E5 To reveal the facade of faceless men D5 F5 C5 Not a thing that we could foresee D5 F5 E5 Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus2 Em F You had us all strung out with promises of peace G Dsus2 But all along, your cover plan was to deceive F Can it put to rights now? G Only time will tell D Your prophecies will send us all to Hell as well
[Chorus]
D5 E5 C5 Left to all our golden sons G5 F5 D5 All to pick up on the peace E5 C5 You could have given all of them G5 F5 D5 A little chance, at least E5 C5 Take the world to better place G5 F5 D5 Given them all just a little hope E5 C5 Just think what a lega--cy G5 F5 D You now, will leave

[Verse 3]
Em C We seemed destined to live in fear Am F And some that would say Armageddon is near Em C But where there's a life, while there's hope Am F That man won't self-destruct Em C Why can't we treat our fellow men D G D/F# With more respect and a shake of their hands? Em C But anger and loathing is rife D G D/F# Em The death on all sides is becoming a way of life C We live in an uncertain world D G D/F# Em Fear, understanding and ignorance is leading to death C Only the corpses are left D G D/F# For vultures that prey on their bones
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Em C But some are just not wanting peace D G D/F# Their whole life is death and misery Em C The only thing that they know; D G D/F# "Fight fire with fire, life is cheap" Em C But if they do stop to think D G D/F# That man is teetering right on the brink Em C But do you think that they care? D G D/F# They benefit from death and pain and despair
