[Verse]
Am F See the man
G Em Who stands upon the hill
F Dm Esus4 E He dreams of all the battles won
Am F But fate had left its
G Em
Scars upon his face
F Dm With all the damage
Esus4 E
They had done
F G And so time, with age
E Am He turns the page
G F Let the flesh
E Submit itself to gravity [Chorus]
F Let our bodies lay
G While our hearts we'll save
E Let our blood invade
Am G If I die in vain F Now, if your convictions
G
Were a passing faith
E May your ashes feed the
Am G
River in the morning rays
F And as the vermin crawls
Dm E* Am We lay in the foundations of decay [Verse]
Am F He was there,
G Em
The day the towers fell
F Dm Esus4 E And so he wandered down the road
Am F And we would all
G Em
Build towers of our own
F Dm Esus4 E Only to watch the rooms corrode
F G But it's much too late
E Am You're in the race
G F So we'll press
And press 'til you
E
Can't take it anymore [Chorus]
F Let our bodies lay G While our hearts we'll save
E Let our blood invade
Am G If I die in vain
F And if, by his own hand,
G
His spirit flies
E Take his body as a relic
Am G To be canonized, now
F E And so he gets to die a saint
Am But she will always be the wh*re [Bridge][ strum 2 times each chords]
Am Am Am (Let's flip out!)
Am Am Am C
Am Am Am C Am Am Am Em A---gainst faith (Antihero)
Am Am Am A---gainst all life
Em
(As if it must be pure)
Am Am Am A---gainst change
Em
(Wander through the ruins)
Am Am Am We are free
Am F G
(The guiltiness is yours) [Verse]
Em Am G You must fix your heart
F G And you must build an
Em Am G
Altar where it rests
F When the storm decays
G
And the sky it rains
Em Let it flood Let it flood
Am G Let it wash away
F And as we stumble through
G
Your last crusade
Em When you welcome your
Am G
Extinction in the morning rays
F And as the swarming calls
E
We lay in the foundations [Outro]
Am Dm Am Yes, it comforts me much more
E Am Dm Yes, it comforts me much more
Am E To lay in the foundations of decay
Bb A Bb A Bb A Get up, coward!
