[Verse]
The wEmall on which tDhe prophets wrote
Is Amcracking at the Bseams.
UEmpon the insDtruments of death
AmThe sunlight brightly Bgleams.
EmWhen every man is Dtorn apart
AmWith nightmares and Bwith dreams,
Will Emno one lay Dthe laurel wreath
AmWhen silence drowns Bthe screams.
[Chorus]
EmConfusion will be my Bmepitaph.
As I Emcrawl a cracked Bmand broken path
If we Emmake it we can all Bmsit back and laugh.
But I Cfear tomorrow I'll be Bmcrying
Yes I Cfear tomorrow I'll be Bmcrying
Yes I Cfear tomorrow I'll be Bcrying
[Verse]
BeEmtween the iroDn gates of fate,
AmThe seeds of time wBere sown,
And Emwatered by thDe deeds of those
Who Amknow and whBo are known;
EmKnowledge is a Ddeadly friend
If Amno one sets tBhe rules.
The Emfate of all maDnkind I see
Is Amin the hands of Bfools.
[Verse]
The wEmall on which tDhe prophets wrote
Is Amcracking at the Bseams.
UEmpon the insDtruments of death
AmThe sunlight brightly Bgleams.
EmWhen every man is Dtorn apart
AmWith nightmares and Bwith dreams,
Will Emno one lay Dthe laurel wreath
AmWhen silence drowns Bthe screams.
[Chorus]
EmConfusion will be my Bmepitaph.
As I Emcrawl a cracked Bmand broken path
If we Emmake it we can all Bmsit back and laugh.
But I Cfear tomorrow I'll be Bmcrying
Yes I Cfear tomorrow I'll be Bmcrying
Repeat the chords of the chorus 'til the end.
