[Intro]
Em Am B7 G Gmaj7/F# Em Am B7
[Verse 1]
Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
When does it get quiet? Time was supposed to extinguish the desire
Am B7
But the embers won't snuff out
Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
Haunted by your smiles, the mask keeps getting heavier
Am B7
One step forward, two steps back
[Chorus]
Am B7
There's a noose 'round my neck and the further I get
G B7/F# Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
It's harder and harder to breathe, can I find a way to cut the rope?
Am B7
I've been waiting for dawn, but the light is all gone
G B7/F# Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
Don't know if I'm already blind, can I leave it all behind?
Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em Am B7
[Verse 2]
Em Am G B7/F# Em
What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine?
Em Am B7 Em
This victory is not what I hoped for
Am B7 G B7/F# Em
How was I to know that everything would end up like this?
Am B7
Survival of the fittest... of sorts
[Chorus]
Am B7
So I've become the bringer of death, a lover of life
G B7/F# Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
The one who guards from the dark of the night, I'll be the hammer of war
Am B7 G B7/F# Em
Justice and mercy don't live side by side, so in retribution, I abide
Am B7 G B7/F# Em
I'll tip the scales to justice's end, but can it make amends?
[Instrumental]
Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em Am B7
[Verse 3]
Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
Kill or be killed, what a way to live and die
Am B7 Em
I just can't see this cycle ever ending
Am B7 G B7/F# Em
How can I correct the damage done when I can't feel
Am B7
The consequences of my recourse?
[Chorus]
Am B7
So I've become the bringer of death, a lover of life
G B7/F# Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
The one who guards from the dark of the night, I'll be the hammer of war
Am B7
I've been waiting for dawn, but the light is all gone
G B7/F# Em Am B7 G B7/F# Em
Don't know if I'm already blind, can I leave it all behind?
