This is from Demon Hunter's second album, "Summer of Darkness." I thought
it would be nice for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics
presented differently, so I worked up an acoustic version. I'll be posting
my own recording of it on my profile if you want to actually hear how I
play and sing it. I think my guitar's tuned down a half step, as well, just
for reference.
Here are some barred chords I reduced to give it a darker, more open sound
between verses and on the bridge.

Verse:
In the nEmever-ending circle where the powerless meet
There grows a struggle from the burden of sustaining defeat
In the fCace of every coward lies the blindest of hate
                                                         Am    EmGbar F#bar
And in their eyes: a sharpened image of the damage they ma-ade
You look at Emme to bear the burden of the suffering past
It wasn't me behind the veil of a heartless mask
And where were yCou the day that everybody cursed your name?
                                                           Am     EmGbar
You were the distant voice of pride that never stood the sha-ame
Prechorus:
The wEmeak of the mind will use fist, and the fGist of the frail will bring gun
The lAmoudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wCrath he will chase 'til its done
Chorus:
                    Em       Am         Em           Am     Em       Am      Em    Am     EmGbar F#bar
Your history is dead wrong. Dead. Philosophy is dead wrong. Dead. Wro-ong.
Verse:
Within the mEmind of modern culture there's an idle cog
It is the section of humanity that never forgot
And in the mCidst of moving forward we have given the right
                                                     Am     EmGbar F#bar
To let the wolves attack the sheep and bury guilt inside
I won't forgEmet the twisted picture of the filth that we were
Or disregard the fading voices of the people we hurt
But I was nCever pulling triggers or degrading your face
                                                            Am     EmGbar
Don't look at me to give the reason for the pain that you tra-ace
Prechorus:
The wEmeak of the mind will use fist, and the fGist of the frail will bring gun
The lAmoudest of guns provoke bombs, and in wCrath he will chase 'til its done
