I thought I'd upload this as it is a fully class song, originally by Hot Water 
Music, but then done as a solo artist by Chuck Ragan. The bear man himself. It's 
pretty hard to recognise where the verses space, if at all, so I've just dissected them myself.
Intro:  C#5  
Verse 1:

fixed and set to slay. WhilC#5e the statue awaits tEo be whittled away Asus2  
with a mock of a slogan hiding filth with fear. C#5  
Never to learn, only Asus2to burn...and be bEurned. 
C#5Branded straight through slate. Clear as common day. Asus2

C#5

Asus2

I thought I'd upload this as it is a fully class song, originally by Hot Water

Music, but then done as a solo artist by Chuck Ragan. The bear man himself. It's

pretty hard to recognise where the verses space, if at all, so I've just dissected them myself.

C#5

Intro:

Verse 1:

C#5 Asus2 E

Transgressions are made while cowards convey with a demon's ear,

C#5 E Asus2

fixed and set to slay. While the statue awaits to be whittled away

C#5

with a mock of a slogan hiding filth with fear.

Asus2 E

Never to learn, only to burn...and be burned.

C#5 Asus2

Branded straight through slate. Clear as common day.

E C#5

What shall be the mark to be made?

Chorus:

Asus2 B5 C#5

When we crush it all to burn it down without sight, without sound.

Asus2

Not anything but a casualty forgotten in the ground.

B5 C#5

A simple shell, that's solemn still--without sight, without sound.

C#5

Interlude:

Verse 2:

C#5 Asus2

Make a martyr, a pedestal with ribbons of slaughter.

Feed the altar, stoke the fire it will take over.

C#5

Ignore the cut... the skin with callus as well as interest.

Asus2 E

If all are reckless none is to profit, none is to win it.

B5 Asus2

So who will pay for all the years, all the lives, from either side?

All the tales, all the time of living blind playing "God Deciding?"

C#5 E

Asu2

And who will die, next in line , for the lie: justified

C#5 Asus2

For the rise, sitting high playing "God Deciding?"

E C#5

Walk away from the rage and revenge?

Asus2 C#5

Inhumane consequence comes in time playing "God Deciding."

Asus2 E

And who will fall in line to arrive out of sight and out of mind?

Outro:

Out of mind?
