[Intro]
Am  Am/G  Am/F  Am/E   Dm    Esus4  E
Am  Am/G  Am/F  Am/E   Dm    Esus4  E

[Verse 1]
Am      F         G               Em
See the man which stands upon the hill
F              Dm  
  He dreams of all 
              Esus4   E
  the battles won
     Am      F    G              Em
But fate had left scars upon his face
F               Dm    
  With all the damage 
           Esus4  E
  they had done

[Pre-chorus]
        F         G      Em
And so time, with age it hurts
    Am    G         F
The pages left with flesh
F                E
Submit itself to gravity

[Chorus]
         F                   G
Left our bodies lay with our hearts, 
we say
        Em
Let our blood and pain
        Am          G
Feel forgotten pain--
F                     
  If your convictions 
         G
  were a passing phase
        Em             
May our ashes feed the 
             Am        G
river in the morning rays
F                             E   
  And as the vermin crawls we lay 
                              Am
  in the foundations of decay

[Verse 2]
Am         F
And he was there
    G              Em
The day the towers fell
F           Dm                Esus4  E
  And so he wandered down the road
    Am       F
And we would all
      G             Em
Build towers of our own
F         Dm               Esus4   E
  Only to watch the roots corrode
         F        G
But it\'s much too late
       Em     Am   G     F
You\'re in the race so impress
F                               E
Impress till you can\'t take it anymore

[Chorus]
         F                 G
Left our eyes red with our hearts, 
we say
        Em
Let our blood and pain
        Am          G
Feel forgotten pain
F                   
  And if by his own 
           G
  hand his spirit flies,  
         Em        
Take his body as a 
            Am        G
relic to be canonized
F                         E
  And so he gets to die a saint 
  but she will always be the whore

[Chorus]
F   G         Em           Am   G
You   you must fix your heart
F      G             
  And you must build 
     Em             Am   G
  an altar where it was
         F            
When the storm decays 
               G
at this dying rate
       Em
Let it flood, let it flood
       Am        G
Let it wash away
F                        
  At last, we\'ll stumble 
              G
  through the last crusade
        Em           
When we welcome your 
               Am          G
extinction in alarming ways--
F                           
  And as the swarming calls 
     E
  to lay in the foundations

[Outro]
       Am               F     Esus4  E
Yes it comforts me much more
        Am               F
Yes, it comforts me much more
   Esus4            E
To lay in the foundations of decay
Bb Am     Bb Am    Bb Am
      Give      up      coward
