Am    G Am   G  Am    G  Am  G
[Verse 1]
AmSpring in MaceEmdonia
The Amlast clean pocket on a Emblood-soaked coat
In a Fstate of claustroCphobia
FWaiting for the rain to wash it all Gout
[Chorus 1]
CFear in their eyes, did the Fcrucifix Clie?
Did the words of the church run dry?
Fear in their eyes, did the Fcrucifix lie?
Did the Emwords of the church ruFn dry?
[Verse 2]
AmMeeting on the road to EmBasra
AmYou, half-blind in a Emblood-soaked coat
FMe, I'm a fallen Cangel
FFallen from the burning Gtree of doubt
[Chorus 1]
CFear in their eyes, did the Fcrucifix Clie?
Did the words of the church run dry?
Fear in their eyes, did the Fcrucifix lie?
Did the Emwords of the church ruFn dry?
[Chorus 2]
I'm a Cwitness to the moon and the Fstars above
I'm aCware of the crimson sky
I'm a witness to the crumbling Dm7walls as well
But I'm not your EmaliFbi
[Chorus 2]
I'm a Cwitness to the moon and the Fstars above
I'm aCware of the crimson sky
I'm a witness to the crumbling Fwalls as well
But I'm not your EmalibiAm__
[Verse 2]
The Amwar is the last senEmsation
The Amfinal song with the Emlongest note
Like a Fsilence, never Cbroken
FWar is the book that Gnobody wrote
[Chorus 1]
CFear in their eyes, did the crucifix lie?
Did the words of the church ruFn dry?
CFear in their eyes, did the Fcrucifix lie?
Did the Emwords of the church ruFn dry?
[Chorus 2]
I'm a Cwitness to the moon and the Fstars above
I'm aCware of the crimson sky
I'm a witness to the crumbling Fwalls as well
But I'm not your EmaliFbi
[Chorus 2]
I'm a Cwitness to the moon and the Fstars above
I'm aCware of the crimson sky
