verse 2
Am Dm Am
I've heard you wake up crying from the evils lying under our bed
Am Dm E
You say there's no use trying to protect you from the danger and dread
Am Dm
Though this world is made of fearsome beasts that bark and bite
Am E
We were born to put these creatures through one hell of a fight
Am E Am
May we feast upon the flesh of any fever that befalls you to-night
[Refrão]Am Dm
Sooner sides will spread wide open
Am E
we shall feast when darkness falls
Am Dm
sing until our jaws are broken
Am E Am
'neath the black and waters cold

Lay down your burdens don't you let them drag you into the ground

I know you're hurting but there's plenty of your pain to go 'round
Am Dm
Lord knows that everybody's got a cross to bear
Am E
And I see no use in trying to con-trast and compare
Am E Am
There's always someone being slaughtered by a bigger stack of splinters some-where
[Refrão]Am Dm
If a day should break in anger
Am E
Patience we can temper strong
Am Dm
Put our able hands to labor
Am E Am
We will work through what went wrong
Am Dm
If a day should break in anger
Am E
Patience we can temper strong
Am Dm
Put our able hands to labor
Am E Am
We will work through what went wrong
