[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
I muGst drag my body through the muck and mire
GatAmher branches for its funeral pyre
Twigs GI would rather twist into nests
Or whitAmtle wooden wings and fly
[Chorus]
But they Gsaid, hey oh dig another well
The watAmer reeks of sulfur and it's red as hell
Oh, oh rGip the curbing all away
Throw the wood oAmn the funeral pyre
[Bridge]
AmI'd call on my lord but he can't help me now
I'd fall Fon my sword if I only knew how to believe there's nothing above
Only absence of breath, of hatred and love
But Amit was born into me and if I can't burn it out
I'll forge all my swords into blades of a plow
And Ftoil all my dAmays in those fields of fire
And GI will welAmcome those flames in a funeral pyre
[Instrumental]
Am F Am G Am

AmI must Gdrag my body through the muck and mire
GatAmher branches for its funeral pyre
Twigs GI would rather twist into nests

The watAmer reeks of sulfur and it's red as hell
Oh, oh rGip the curbing all away
Throw the wood Amon the funeral pyre

We file doFwn our hearts on the kindness of friends
Pick Gthem up and Amcut them down again

[Intro]

[Verse]

I must drag my body through the muck and mire

Gather branches for its funeral pyre

Twigs I would rather twist into nests

Or whittle wooden wings and fly

[Chorus]

But they said, hey oh dig another well

The water reeks of sulfur and it's red as hell

Oh, oh rip the curbing all away

Throw the wood on the funeral pyre

[Bridge]

I'd call on my lord but he can't help me now

I'd fall on my sword if I only knew how to believe there's nothing above

Only absence of breath, of hatred and love

But it was born into me and if I can't burn it out

I'll forge all my swords into blades of a plow

F Am

And toil all my days in those fields of fire

G Am

And I will welcome those flames in a funeral pyre

[Instrumental]

Am F Am G Am

[Verse]

Am G

I must drag my body through the muck and mire

Gather branches for its funeral pyre

Twigs I would rather twist into nests

Or whittle wooden wings and fly

[Chorus]

But they said, hey oh dig another well

The water reeks of sulfur and it's red as hell

Oh, oh rip the curbing all away

Throw the wood on the funeral pyre

[Outro]

Am Am F G

Am F

We file down our fangs on the bones of our foes

G Am

And curse their names with blood swollen tongues

We file down our hearts on the kindness of friends

G Am

Pick them up and cut them down again

Am Am F G
