Ab Db (x4)
Ab Bbm Gb Db (x2)
[Verse 1]
Ab Bbm Gb Db The acrid smell of burning branches, the relics all in ruin Ab Bbm Gb Db Broken blades atop the altar, cheap substitutions C7 Fm And the tapestry above Db Ab Torn down, trampled, then re-hung C7 Fm Eb Db Now illegible forever, an oracle with no tongue
[Chorus]
Cm Db Cm Ab All of this, all of this Cm Db C All of this before I got there
Ab Bbm Gb Db (x2)
[Verse 2]
Ab Bbm Gb Db And in a pit behind the altar, the bodies of the fallen Ab Bbm Gb Db Heavy tracks up to the lip just to prove that they were crawling C7 Fm Faces turned toward the sky Db Ab that they would never see again C7 Fm Eb Db Victims of the fallout, I have failed you sweet young men
[Chorus]
Cm Db Cm Ab All of this, all of this Cm Db C All of this before I got there Ab Bbm Gb Db (x8) End on Ab
