[Verse]

             Cm
Whitethorn ordained
                  F
Applause from the masses
            Fm
A trite execution
               D#
To placade and please
                Cm
Obscured by the light
                F
Suffuse for the sake
                        Fm
While they dance on the grave
              D#
Amassed and acclaimed
               Cm
Bound for lands end
                  F
Destined for the gallows
                    Fm
Down the road most travelled
                  D#
From sterling to death
           Cm
The demons command
               F
A life most desired
                Fm
In envy they conspire
                  D#
For vengeance is stealth


[Bridge]

            G#
No need for sight
            Fm
No need for mourning
            G#
No need for sound
            Fm
No need for mourning


[Chorus]

D#         Bbm    G#    D#      Fm
Wither and lithe, recognise the last defeat
D#          Bbm   G#          D#    Fm
Farewell to arms, shoulder no more, rest in peace
D#            Bbm      G#          D#        Fm
A judgement severe, dissolve and adhere, the grand retreat
D#         Bbm    G#           D#
Wither and lithe, simonize the bomb


[Verse]

Cm  F  Fm  D#

               Cm
The darkness devours
                   F
In it's own silent way
                Fm
In fathoms of decay
           D#
Lesser the beast
                  Cm
The dray horse resigns
                      F
As they watch from a distance
                   Fm
Without face or resistance
            D#
Heed the command
               Cm
Dragged to the steps
                F
Put forth for example
               Fm
Bludgeoned and battled
            D#
A Satyrs despair
                Cm
A Slight of the hand
               F
And all is forgotten
                    Fm
Thrush spirits left haunted
           D#
Tidings at bay


[Bridge]

            G#
No need for sight
            Fm
No need for mourning
            G#
No need for sound
            Fm
No need for mourning


[Chorus]

D#         Bbm    G#    D#      Fm
Wither and lithe, recognise the last defeat
D#          Bbm   G#          D#    Fm
Farewell to arms, shoulder no more, rest in peace
D#            Bbm      G#          D#        Fm
A judgement severe, dissolve and adhere, the grand retreat
D#         Bbm    G#           D#
Wither and lithe, simonize the bomb

Goodbye to the century
C#          G#   D#
Farewell to amnesty
C#           G#       D#
Christen my sons and daughter
       C#  G#      D#
Let it lie, let it bleed
