Key: D
Introduction:
D
T’was in the early evenin’
Near the presence of the moon
G
This dagger twisting in my back
D
Tells me I never should
G
Have trusted everything to fall
F A
From beggar to the fool
D
I see your face like every race
A serpent with two arms
G
This cold and dark tormented hell
D
Is all I’ll ever know
G
So when you get to heaven
F A
May the devil be the judge
(with chorus riff)
D
I scratch your name across these walls
And with my blood turns red
G
No precious light to harbor
D
Like so many here before
G
And every drop of life you shed
F A
Now breathes a thousand more
(with chorus riff)
A
Temper filled with blindness
Leads this lost and lonely man
D
So deafen me with silence
Drown me with your roar
G
No door will go unanswered
D
Like so many closed before
G
No vagabond to knock upon
D
This tired and beatin’ war
G
When all return to exile
D
Free from all once bound
G
Decline and brawl old parasites
F A
The truth will yet be found
(with chorus riff)
Dºver
N.C.
This cold and dark tormented hell
A
Temper filled with blindness
Leads this lost and lonely man
D
So deafen me with silence
Drown me with your roar
G
No door will go unanswered
D
Like so many closed before
G
No vagabond to knock upon
D
This tired and beatin’ war
G
When all return to exile
D
Free from all once bound
G
Decline and brawl old parasites
F A
The truth will yet be found
(with chorus riff x3)
Ftº Amºve
much better when A is played barred, rather than
Dmay
sound better as a D5, though it is definitely not
a Dm.
