Introdução: Em Am B7 G F#4
Em
When does it get quiet?
Am B7 G F#4 Em
Time was supposed to extinguish the desire
Am B7
But the embers won't snuff out
Em Am
Haunted by your smiles
B7 G F#4 Em
The mask keeps getting heavier
Am B7
One step forward, two steps back
Am B7
There's a noose round my neck and the further I get
G F#4 Em
It's harder & harder to breathe
Am B7 G F#4 Em
Can I find a way to cut the rope?
Am
I've been waiting for dawn
B7
But the light is all gone
G F#4 Em
Don't know if I'm already blind
Am B7 G F#4 Em
Can I leave it all behind?
Em Am B7 F#4 Em
What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine?
Em Am B7
This victory is not what I hoped for
Em Am B7 G F#4 Em
How was I to know that everything would end up like this?
Am B7
Survival of the fittest of sorts
Am
So I've become the bringer of death
B7
A lover of life
G F#4 Em
The one who guards from the dark of the night
Am B7 G F#4 Em
I'll be the hammer of war
Am B7
Justice and mercy don't live side by side
G F#4 Em
So in retribution I abide
Am B7 G F#4 Em
I'll tip the scales to justice's end
but can it make amends?
Em
Kill or be killed
Am B7 G F#4 Em
What a way to live & die
Am B7
I just can't see this cycle ever ending
Em Am B7
How can I correct the damage done
G F#4 Em Am B7
When I can't feel the consequences of my recourse
Am
So I've become the bringer of death
B7
A lover of life
G F#4 Em
The one who guards from the dark of the night
Am B7 G F#4 Em
I'll be the hammer of war
Am
I've been waiting for dawn
B7
But the light is all gone
G F#4 Em
Don't know if I'm already blind
Am B7 G F#4 Em
Can I leave it all behind?
