[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                         Am B7 G B7/F# Em Am B7
I'll tip the scales to justice's end,          but can it make amends?


[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?
