Introdução:
Bm F#m Bm
Oh violence does call me, I&rsquo ve answered before
Bm F#m Bm
I&rsquo d made many enemies, I&rsquo d settled my scores
Bm F#m Bm
But I did grow weary and I settled down
Bm F#m Bm
And proudly bore the weight of my crown
Bm F#m Bm
I lived on my lonesome away in the far
Bm F#m Bm
Where there was no violence to trouble my heart
Bm F#m Bm
I&rsquo d hung up my sword and I&rsquo d raised up my hoe
Bm F#m Bm
And lied as I said that I never would go
Bm A
But came a cry from a man that I&rsquo d known
G A
Someone to whom rarе compassion I&rsquo d shown
D
And so I opened up my door
Bm F#m Bm
To the man who promisеd me blood and war
Bm A
Oh, Woe to thee, ye people of order
G A
I hope your homes continue to smolder
D
And that you never rise again
Bm F#m Bm
And leave me be and leave my friends
Bm F#m Bm
I followed him far to a distant land
Bm F#m Bm
Where he had been exiled by one single man
Bm F#m Bm
His horns they were wicked, his power was great
Bm F#m Bm
And you looked in his eyes and were swallowed by hate
Bm F#m Bm
He took me to shelter, his humble abode
Bm F#m Bm
A pitiful cavern his comrades called home
Bm F#m Bm
He handed me bedding and bid me adieu
Bm F#m Bm
And I sat and pondered on what I should do
Bm A
For I craved violence, I crave to be free
G A
From the people who wish to control me
D
Yes I believe in anarchy&rsquo s rein
Bm F#m Bm
I know that dictators only bring pain
Bm A
Oh, Woe to thee, ye people of order
G A
I hope your homes continue to smolder
D
And that you never rise again
Bm F#m Bm
And leave me be and leave my friends
Bm F#m Bm
I prepared for battle, I hoarded and schemed
Bm F#m Bm
But I did not know all was not what it seemed
Bm F#m Bm
My allies unstable, their loyalty thin
Bm F#m Bm
Yes we would have victory but what would we win?
Bm F#m Bm
The battle was chaos, blood roared in my ears
Bm F#m Bm
A chain of explosions, they looked up with fear
Bm F#m Bm
They set up a leader and shouted hoorays
Bm F#m Bm
And I shuddered and realized that I&rsquo d been betrayed
Bm A
&ldquo Is this what you want, corruption and power?
G A
&ldquo Well I won&rsquo t stand for it, this is my hour!
D
&ldquo Now I release my beasts upon thee!&rdquo
Bm F#m Bm
And I laughed in pain as I watched them all flee
Bm A
Oh, Woe to thee, ye people of order
G A
I hope your homes continue to smolder
D
And that you never rise again
Bm F#m Bm
And woe to those who called me a friend
Bm F#m Bm
I fled until silence was all I could hear
Bm F#m Bm
The voices once screaming now hummed in my ears
Bm F#m Bm
The cold it was lonely but I was alone
Bm F#m Bm
And I promised that I&rsquo d not let blood taint my home
Bm F#m Bm
But then came a message from my only friend
Bm F#m Bm
&ldquo Oh warrior hide, or else this is the end
Bm F#m Bm
&ldquo They&rsquo ve bound up my wings and they hunt for your head
Bm F#m Bm
&ldquo They promised me justice but they&rsquo ll see you dead&rdquo
Bm A
They came to me with an armed battalion
G A
Held an ax to my innocent stallion
D
And said &ldquo Now it is your turn to bow!
Bm F#m Bm
&ldquo See how the king has fallen now?&rdquo
Bm A
They raised an anvil and laid me below
G A
They thought to crush me painful and slow
D
But I did live, and I did flee
Bm F#m Bm
And I put my pick through the butcher&rsquo s teeth
Bm A
Oh, Woe to thee, ye people of order
G A
I hope your homes continue to smolder
D
And that you never rise again
Bm F#m Bm
And woe to those who called me a friend
