Am F
Here, not again
G G E
Tears hang in my throat I lose a breath
F G G
And bow my head
Am F
Her, still asleep
G G E
Addictive like the moment of release
F G
A little dying makes you feel
Am F
Fall, of a day
G G E
The touch of winter's chill has laid a claim
F G
My breath appearing a haze
Am Am
Look to the sky
G G E
The towers make me dizzy and the lights
Am G F
Are hell fire
[Refrão]
E Am
To the Merchants of decay
C F
Your eyes hold a darkness
G Am F
A love for the reckless hero's of our fear
E
They're still here
Am Am
Dead...And awake
F G
The cattle of the cardinal?
E F G
Or people from which I take.
Am G
Catching your eyes I can see you fantasise
Not alive but a ghost inside
E F G G F
I take my leave and dance around the hillside
Chorus
Solo
[Refrão]F E Am
To the Merchants of decay
C F
Your eyes hold a darkness
G Am F
A love for the reckless hero's

Light a fire here to say
C F G
The love of an outcast is worth

All it's weight in golden pieces
F
Build your fire high
E Am
We'll never die
