Am F C G
What have the prophets done to gain the path we seek?
Am F C G
The grayness that I see above it always follows me
Am F C G
And the fruits of this life they take on many forms
Am F C G
As the fire in Hell's cauldron, the image it always burns
[Verse 2]
Am
And the books
F
See the pages
C G
Read between the lines
Am F
It's been shadowed with disillusionment
C G
Just take back what you find
Am F C G
Let's hide away to the distant hills never question why
Am F C G
When we were conceived to this we were baptized by fire
[Guitar Solo 1]
Am F C G x4
[Chorus 1]
Am F C G
No, it's a lie and it's not mine
Am F C
It's a tragedy, a mystery
F
That we must find
Am F C
It's a call to war
G
It's a shameless whore
Am F C
It's a fantasy, a mystery
G Am F C G
It's all you wanted here
[Verse 3]
G D G D G D C
I know that I can be sure of a quiet walk with you
G D G D G D C
Scenes of distance and sounds of calming, my hideaway is you
G D G D G D C
Dreams are slower, the day is longer, and I can face it too
G D G D G D C
Take me hold me, no one can hurt me, all because of you
[Chorus 2]
Am F C
Sold, it's a fake
G
It's a give and take
Am F C
It's a mystery, infinity
G
It's a world too late
Am F C
It's a kind of fear
G
And it's all right here
Am G F Am G F
Don't know the way I feel today
[Interlude]
Am G Am F G
C G
Though it feels I'm way ahead this time
G Am F G Am
Seems far too good to be true
C G
I know...I know
[Verse 4]
G D G D G D C
I know that there is a savior when the day is through
G D G D G D C
A passive knowing, a faithful wanting, a world I know as you
[Verse 5]
G Am F G C
And fate is a walk I fear to take it's true
G
I know...
G Am F G Am
I sometimes feel I'll never make it through
C G
I know...I know
[Verse 6]
G D G D G D C
Like a child born to survive all, basking time with you
G D G D G D C
Spending hours on ivory towers, could this all be true?
[Chorus 3]
Am F C
Hate, it's a fire
G
It's a bold faced lie
Am F C
It's a fallacy, insanity
G
The disease inside
Am F C
It's a walk through tears
G
For all those years
Am F C
It's misery, your history
G Am
And it's all right here
[Guitar Solo 2]
Am F C G x4
G Am F G C G
G Am F G Am C G
G Am F G C G
G Am F G Am C G
[Chorus 4]
Am F C
The end, it's a race
G
In the life you faced
Am F C
It's a parody, hypocrisy
G
It's your one last taste
Am F C
And death, for real
G
Yeah, it makes no deals
Am F C
It's a tragedy, reality
G Am F C G
No one wants to hear
[Verse 7]
G D G D G D C
I know that I can be sure of quiet nights with you
G D G D G D C
A face of knowing and understanding, one I know as you
G D G D G D C
In the distance I see existence, I know you see it too
G D G D G D C
You're all I dream of, you're all I think of, I know I just love you
[Chorus 5]
Am F C
No, it's gone
G
Life's not that long
Am F C
It's senility, a rhapsody
G
It's all that's wrong
Am F C
And here you stand
G
All alone again
Am F C
It's misery, insanity
G
You can't defend
Am F C
And now you're dead
G
It's a kick in the head
Am F C
It's a tragedy, a mystery
G Am C
Isn't that what you said?
[Outro]
Am F C G
Am F C G
Am F
But if you can take the bounty
C G
I will grab the soul
Am F
Then we'll run away together
C G
No one will ever know
