[Verse 1]
E A E I finally broke into the prison B B7 E E7 I found my place in the chain A E Am Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows E All the brave young me G# C#m They're waiting now to see a signal A F#m B B7 which some killer will be lighting for pay
[Chorus]
A E Am Into this furnace I ask you now to venture E B A E You whom I cannot betray
[Verse 2]
E A E I fought in the old revolution B B7 E E7 on the side of the ghost and the King A Of course I was very young E Am and I thought that we were winning E G# C#m I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing A F# B B7 as they carry the bodies away
[Chorus]
A E Am Into this furnace I ask you now to venture E B A E You whom I cannot betray
[Verse 3]
E A E Lately you've started to stutter B B7 E E7 as though you had nothing to say A E Am To all of my architects let me be traitor E G# C#m Now let me say I myself gave the order A F# B B7 To sweep and to search and to destroy
[Chorus]
A E Am Into this furnace I ask you now to venture, E B A E You whom I cannot betray.
[Verse 4]
E A E Yes, you who are broken by power B B7 E E7 You who are absent all day A E Am You who are kings for the sake of your children's story E G# C#m The hand of your beggar is burdened down with money A F# B B7 The hand of your lover is clay
[Chorus]
A E Am Into this furnace I ask you now to venture, E B A E You whom I cannot betray.
