[Start]

[Intro]
Gbm Dbm A Gbm Absus4 Ab7 Dbm A
■   ■   ■ ■   ■      ■   ■   ■
Amaj7 Gbm7 Absus4 Ab7
■     ■    ■      ■  


[Verse]
Dbm     A       E               Abm 
See the man who stands upon the hill
Amaj7                        Absus4
He dreams of all the battles won   
Ab Dbm          A        B              Abm 
■  But fate had left its scars upon his face
Amaj7                        Absus4
With all the damage they had done  
       A         B  
And so time with age
             Dbm 
It turns the page
        A    
Let the flesh
              Ab7       
Submit itself to gravity


[Chorus]
        A         
Let our bodies lay
         B                
Mark our hearts with shame
        Ab7          
Let our blood in vain
         Db         
You find God in pain
B   A                          B       B7   
Now If your convictions were a passing phase
         Ab7                         Db      Db7  B
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays ■
A                                        Ab7            Dbm  
■ And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay
       A         E              Abm7
He was there the day the towers fell


[Verse]
Amaj7                       Absus4
And so he wandered down the road  
Ab Dbm          A         E             Abm
■  And we would all build towers of our own
Amaj7         Gbm7            Absus4 
■     Only to watch the roots corrode


[Chorus]
Ab          A        B   
■  But it's much too late
              Dbm 
You're in the race
         A    
So we'll press
                         Ab7            
And press 'til you can't take it anymore
        A         
Let our bodies lay
         B                
Mark our hearts with shame
        Ab7          
Let our blood in vain
         Db     B   
You find God in pain
A                            B           
■ And if by his own hand his spirit flies
         E         Ab7         Db        B
Take his body as a relic to be canonized ■
A                           Ab7                                  Db Db7 Db
Now And so he gets to die a saint but she will always be a whore ■  ■   ■ 


[Inst]

[Bridge]
Db           
Against faith
Ab7         Db  
Against all life


[Chorus]
Db7               
■   Against change
Db             Dbmaj7
We are plagued ■     


[Verse]
A B   Abm           Db    B A
■ You must fix your heart ■ ■
    B                 Abm7  Ab7      Db     Db7
And you must build an altar where it swells ■  


[Chorus]
Db       A             
When the storm it gains
        B           
And the sky it rains
       Ab7  
Let it flood
Ab7         
Let it flood
       Db       
Let it wash away
B   A                             B           
And ■ as you stumble through your last crusade
         Ab7                            Db      Db7 
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays
B   A                          Ab7        Ab         
And ■ as the swarm it calls we lay in the foundations
       Dbm              Gbm 
Yes it comforts me much more
Db Ab        Dbm                   Gbm
■  ■  Yes it comforts me much more ■  
Db            Ab             Ab7 Db
To lay in the foundations of ■   ■
