[Verse]
E                       
Liquid is in your throat
    E               
For hopeless delight
              Am                E    
After all you fell in love with death
         Am     
Life has aborted
           E               A7    
All you've had and all you became
                              A7   
The night is calling you pray forth
E7   E                        
■  A barren waste is your land
      E                    
Crops they were sown to die
               Am     E
This skin is a mirror ■
               Am   G#m      
The eyes hover with ignorance
Am                       
Hell throb from your lips
                            C              Cm
Sucked in and safe from the world of sleep ■ 


[Chorus]
          Cm               
All years caring for a liar
                 Cm                    
The barren drift road is winding higher
              Cm                   
You're a moth too close to the fire

[Chorus]
                             Cm    
You are stuck in a beautiful future
                                                 C  
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all


[Break]

[Verse]
E                   
■ Fleeting in sorrow
E                       
Pushing your spirit away
            Am          E7     
Seeking the weakness of dislike
Am             A7       
Whispered from the heart
                       Am      
To be we're all in the mourning
A7 Am     
To despair
                  E7       E E7 E            
[] Cries out: The restless ■ ■  will also die
                     Am        
Resurrection covered with death
E                      A7 
Drawing the life under one
E7             Am       
A fact tied to the earth
    A7                         D#7
The soul's a victim a follower ■  


[Chorus]
   D#7   
Oh mother
D#7                  
[incoherent growling]
    D#7      
For us to see
    D#7            
The blink of an eye
D7                       
And the pride of a mother
                 D7          
Drawn close in a mother's son
        D7                
And the love from a father


[Solo]
G A7 D7            E           
■ ■  Was used by a father's son
     E              
Over warrior's token
Am                
Misspoken lives on
Am
