[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!)
