Am      F       G               Em
See the man who stands upon the hill

F              Dm              Esus4   E
  He dreams of all the battles won

     Am      F        G              Em
But fate had left its scars upon his face

F               Dm             Esus4  E
  With all the damage they had done

        F         G   
And so time with age 

   Em        Am
It turns the page

G       F
Let the flesh

F                E
Submit itself to gravity

         F
Let our bodies lay

          G
Mark our hearts with shame

        Em
Let our blood in vain

     Am         G
You find God in pain

   F                            G
Now, if your convictions were a passing faith

         Em                          Am        G
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays

F                             E                               Am
  And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay

Am         F
He was there

    G              Em
The day the towers fell

F           Dm                Esus4  E
  And so he wandered down the road

    Am       F
And we would all

      G             Em
Build towers of our own

F         Dm               Esus4   E
  Only to watch the roots corrode

         F        G
But it's much too late

       Em     Am   G     F
You're in the race so we'll press

F                               E
And press till you can't take it anymore

         F
Let our bodies lay

          G
Mark our hearts with shame

        Em
Let our blood in vain

         Am        G
You find God in pain

F                            G
  And if by his own hand his spirit flies,  

         Em                    Am        G
Take his body as a relic to be canonized

   F                         E
Now, and so he gets to die a saint but she will always be the whore

A-  gainst  faith (Cage all the animals)

Am   Asus   Am

Am  Asus  Am
We  are   plagued

                      F
But the poison is the cure

G        Em         Am   G
  You must fix your heart

F        G              Em             Am   G
  And you must build an altar where it swells

         F                       G
When the storm it gains, and the sky it rains

       Em           
Let it flood, let it flood

       Am        G
Let it wash away

F                                 G
  And as you stumble through your last crusade

         Em                             Am           G
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?

F                                E
  And as the swarm, it calls, we lay in the foundations

        Am   Am/G  Am/F  Am/E   F     Esus4  E
Yes, it co--mforts me--  much-- more

        Am   Am/G  Am/Gb Am/E   F    
Yes, it co--mforts me--  much-- more

   Esus4            E
To lay in the foundations of decay
