Epitaph
View chords used in this chart
Em D
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Am B+ B
Is cracking at the seams
Em D
Upon the instruments of death
Am B+ B
The sunlight brightly gleams
Em D
When every man is torn apart
Am B+ B
With nightmares and with dreams
Em D
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
Am B+ B
As silence drowns the screams
Em Bm
Confusion will be my epitaph
Em Bm
As I walk a cracked and broken path
Em Bm
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
C Bm
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
C Bm
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
C Bm
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Em D
Between the iron gates of fate
Am B+ B
The seeds of time were sown
Em D
And watered by the deeds of those
Am B+ B
Who know and who are known
Em D
Knowledge is a deadly friend
Am B+ B
When no one sets the rules
Em D
The fate of all mankind I see
Am B+ B
Is in the hands of fools
