AmThe emptiness that we confess
EIn the dimmest hour of day
DmIn Automatown they make a sound
ELike the low sad moan of prey
AmThe bitter taste the hidden face
EOf the lost forgotten child
DmThe darkest need the slowest speed
EThe debt unreconciled
DmThese photographs mean nothing
AmTo the poison that they take
DmBefore a moment’s glory
EThe light begins to fade
AmThe awful cost of all we lost
EAs we looked the other way
DmWe've paid the price of this cruel device
ETill we've nothing left to pay
AmThe river goes where the current flows
EThe light we must destroy
DmEvents conspire to set afire
EThe methods we employ
DmThese dead men walk on water
AmCold blood runs through their veins
DmThe angry river rises
EAs we step into the rain
DmThese photographs mean nothing
AmTo the poison that they take
DmThe angry river rises
EAs we step into the rain

The emptiness that we confess

In the dimmest hour of day

In Automatown they make a sound

Like the low sad moan of prey

The bitter taste the hidden face

Of the lost forgotten child

The darkest need the slowest speed

The debt unreconciled

These photographs mean nothing

To the poison that they take

Before a moment’s glory

The light begins to fade

The awful cost of all we lost

As we looked the other way

We've paid the price of this cruel device

Till we've nothing left to pay

The river goes where the current flows

The light we must destroy

Events conspire to set afire

The methods we employ

These dead men walk on water

Cold blood runs through their veins

The angry river rises

As we step into the rain

These photographs mean nothing

To the poison that they take

The angry river rises

As we step into the rain
