[Intro]
G Am7 G Am7
G Am7 G Am7
C
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
G
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
C
I'm living in a silent film
G
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal, drawing to the ragged hole
Eb F

G Em C
And I ain't got the power anymore
C G Am7 A7sus2 A
No I ain't got the power anymore
D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
A
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
D
I'm torn between the light and dark
A
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry
F
Should I kiss the viper's fang
G
Or herald loud the death of Man
A F#m D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
D A
And I ain't got the power anymore
[BRIDGE]

Don't deceive with belief
Edim Bm
Knowledge comes with death's release
D#dim A
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
F#m C#m E
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaha
D
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
A
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
D
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
A
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation 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#m D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
D A
And I ain't got the power anymore
[BRIDGE]
