[Intro]
Em Am B7 G B
Em Am B7
[Verse 1]
Em When does it get quiet? Am B7 G B Time was supposed to extinguish the Em Am B7 desire But the embers won't snuff out Em Am Haunted by your smiles B7 G B The mask keeps getting heavier Em Am B7 One step forward, two steps back
[Chorus]
Am B7 There's a noose round my neck and the further I get G B Em It's harder & harder to breathe Am B7 G B Em Can I find a way to cut the rope? Am I've been waiting for dawn B7 But the light is all gone G B Em Don't know if I'm already blind Am B7 G B Em Can I leave it all behind?
[Instrumental]
Em Am B7 G B
Em Am B7
[Verse 2]
Em Am G B Em What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine? Em Am B7 This victory is not what I hoped for Em Am B7 G B How was I to know that everything would end up like this? Em Am B7 Survival of the fittest... of sorts
[Chorus}
Am So I've become the bringer of death B7 A lover of life G B Em The one who guards from the dark of the night Am B7 G B Em I'll be the hammer of war Am B7 Justice & mercy don't live side by side G B Em So in retribution I abide Am B7 G B Em I'll tip the scales to justice's end Em but can it make amends?
Am B7 G B
Em Am B7
[Verse 3]
En Am B7 G B Em Kill or be killed... what a way to live and die Am B7 I just can't see this cycle ever ending Em Am B7 G B How can I correct the damage done when I can't Em Am B7 feel the consequences of my recourse
[Chorus]
Am So I've become the bringer of death B7 A lover of life G B Em The one who guards from the dark of the night Am B7 G B Em I'll be the hammer of war Am I've been waiting for dawn B7 But the light is all gone G B Em Don't know if I'm already blind Am B7 G B Em Can I leave it all behind?
