Intro: Em  Am  B7  G  F#4 
        Em  Am  B7 

             Em 
When does it get quiet? 
Am          B7         G     F#4      Em 
Time was supposed to extinguish the desire 
        Am              B7 
But the embers won't snuff out 
Em              Am 
Haunted by your smiles 
    B7                 G  F#4  Em 
The mask keeps getting heavier 
         Am              B7 
One step forward, two steps back 

          Am                          B7 
There's a noose round my neck and the further I get 
     G        F#4       Em 
It's harder & harder to breathe 
    Am       B7             G  F#4  Em 
Can I find a way to cut the rope? 
          Am 
I've been waiting for dawn 
        B7 
But the light is all gone 
      G           F#4     Em 
Don't know if I'm already blind 
    Am         B7    G  F#4  Em 
Can I leave it all behind? 

( Em  Am  B7  G  F#4 ) 
( Em  Am  B7 ) 

          Em                 Am            B7   F#4  Em 
What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine? 
                Em         Am    B7 
This victory is not what I hoped for 
Em           Am        B7               G      F#4  Em 
How was I to know that everything would end up like this? 
                Am         B7 
Survival of the fittest of sorts 

                   Am  
So I've become the bringer of death 
  B7 
A lover of life 
    G       F#4             Em 
The one who guards from the dark of the night 
Am          B7        G  F#4  Em 
I'll be the hammer of war 
Am                      B7 
Justice and mercy don't live side by side 
   G       F#4    Em 
So in retribution I abide 
Am           B7                  G  F#4  Em 
I'll tip the scales to justice's end 
but can it make amends? 

( Em  Am  B7  G  F#4 ) 
( Em  Am  B7 ) 

        Em 
Kill or be killed 
Am     B7     G  F#4  Em 
What a way to live & die 
       Am                        B7 
I just can't see this cycle ever ending 
Em        Am          B7 
How can I correct the damage done 
     G  F#4  Em            Am            B7 
When I can't feel the consequences of my recourse 

                   Am  
So I've become the bringer of death 
  B7 
A lover of life 
    G       F#4             Em 
The one who guards from the dark of the night 
Am          B7        G  F#4  Em 
I'll be the hammer of war 
          Am 
I've been waiting for dawn 
        B7 
But the light is all gone 
      G           F#4     Em 
Don't know if I'm already blind 
    Am         B7    G  F#4  Em 
Can I leave it all behind?
