||INTRO||
G Am G Am G Am G Am
C
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
G
Of imagery
C
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm
G / Gsus4 / G / G
Of dream reality
Cm
I'm frightened by the total goal
F2
Drawing to the ragged hole
G Em C
And I ain't got the power anymore
G Am Asus2 A
No I ain't got the power anymore
D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of Churchill's lies
A
I'm destiny
D
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
A
Divine symmetry
F
Should I kiss the viper's fang
G
Or herald loud the death of Man

I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

And I ain't got the power anymore

D
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman
A A11 A
I'm living on
D
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
A A11 A
Of bullshit faith
F
If I don't explain what you ought to know
G
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
A F#m7 D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
