As recorded by Thrice (From the 2002 Album THE ILLUSION OF SAFETY) [Intro] G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 B5 C#5 G#5 [Verse 1]
G#5                             F#5
Entertain the hope that somehow you'll escape me

         E5                  F#5
Weld the bolts and close the iron gate

      G#5                 F#5
Drink deeply the illusion of your safety

E5                       F#5       G#5  E5 G#5   E5 D#5
My, how wishful thoughts inebriate
[Verse 2]
G#5 F#5        B5    G#5     C#5
Masquerade and revel in your opulence

G#5      D#5                       B5 C#5 G#5
Writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance

             B5                 G#5      C#5
Swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy

  G#5           D#5         G#5         D#5        E5
A dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe

         D#5   F#5
Remember me?
[Guitar Solo] G#5 D#5 E5 G#5 F#5 E5 G#5 E5 F#5 G#5 D#5 E5 G#5 [Verse 3]
G#5
You look so surprised to see me here

            E5 G#5                                 E5 G#5
With hell's black wings did I o'er-perch these walls

          C#5 E5 G#5            D#5
For stony limits cannot hold me out

    G#5 E5 G#5   E5 D#5 G#5
And now     you all die
