Intro: F#m (2x)
F#m D E
F#m
I can feel the fire deep inside, it's burning brighter
With but a raised fist and my pride,
I sway
to the beat of our decay, the horsemen on their way
And in this mob a crescent line to hide behind
A F#m
Here in and of the dark, our city, it's streets and walls
A F#m
Here we live, we are, inside our homes and malls
E
I walk across the dead trainyard
F#m
Remembering who we are
E
I look inside and in my heart
F#m
We're never far apart
Interlude: F#m D E
F#m
I can't see the mountain over me, the Serpent Hollow
The silent fortress underneath,
I sway
to the beat of our decay, the light of other days
And fireside, the black island, its toxic sand
A F#m
Dancing city lights glowing against the sky
A F#m
Snowing, shimmering shinedust in our eyes
E
I walk across the dead trainyard
F#m
Remembering who we are
E
I look inside and in my heart
F#m
We're never far apart
E
And in the yellow belvedere
F#m
I crave my name without fear
E
A witness to the birth of me
F#m
This garden of concrete
