[Intro] Em Am B7 G G7M/F#

Em Am B7

[Intro]

[Primeira Parte]

Em Am B7 G G7M/F#

When does it get quiet? / Time was supposed to extinguish the desire

Em Am B7

But the embers won't snuff out

Em Am B7 G G7M/F#

Haunted by your smiles / The mask keeps getting heavier

Em Am B7

One step forward, two steps back

[Refrão 1]

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

There's a noose round my neck and the further I get / It's harder &

harder to breathe

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

Can I find a way to cut the rope?

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

I've been waiting for dawn / But the light is all gone / Don't know if I'm

already blind

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

Can I leave it all behind?

[Interlúdio]

[Segunda Parte]

Em Am G G7M/F# 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 G7M/F#

How was I to know that everything would end up like this?

Em Am B7

Survival of the fittest of sorts

[Refrão 2]

 Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

So I've become the bringer of death / A lover of life / The one who guards

from the dark of the night

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

I'll be the hammer of war

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

Justice & mercy don't live side by side / So in retribution I abide

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

I'll tip the scales to justice's end (But can it make amends?)

[Interlúdio]

[Terceira Parte]

Em Am B7 G G7M/F#

Kill or be killed / What a way to live and die

Em Am B7

I just can't see this cycle ever ending

Em Am B7 G G7M/F#

How can I correct the damage done / When I can't fell

Em Am B7

the consequences of my recourse

[Refrão]

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

from the dark of the night

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

I've been waiting for dawn / But the light is all gone / Don't know if I'm

already blind

Am B7 G G7M/F# Em

Can I leave it all behid?
