[Verse 1]
E A E
I finally broke into the prison
B B7 E E7
I found my place in the chain
A E Am
Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
E
All the brave young me
G# C#m
They're waiting now to see a signal
A F#m B B7
which some killer will be lighting for pay
[Chorus]
A E Am
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
E B A E
You whom I cannot betray
[Verse 2]
E A E
I fought in the old revolution
B B7 E E7
on the side of the ghost and the King
A
Of course I was very young
E Am
and I thought that we were winning
E G# C#m
I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing
A F# B B7
as they carry the bodies away
[Chorus]
A E Am
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture
E B A E
You whom I cannot betray
[Verse 3]
E A E
Lately you've started to stutter
B B7 E E7
as though you had nothing to say
A E Am
To all of my architects let me be traitor
E G# C#m
Now let me say I myself gave the order
A F# B B7
To sleep and to search and to destroy
[Chorus]
A E Am
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
E B A E
You whom I cannot betray.
[Verse 4]
E A E
Yes, you who are broken by power
B B7 E E7
You who are absent all day
A E Am
You who are kings for the sake of your children's story
E G# C#m
The hand of your beggar is burdened down with money
A F# B B7
The hand of your lover is clay
[Chorus]
A E Am
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
E B A E
You whom I cannot betray.
