Verse 1
Am – – – F – – – x8the pillars of the world were shaking like the legs of a drunk
hot winds ripped the hats off all the ladies all about town that day
then they caught us ran us ragged beat us bloody put us in a dirty cage
now we're screaming bloody murder we are starving won't see the ocean side again
now we're screaming bloody murder we are starving won't see the ocean side again
Break 1
Am – – – F – E – x4Verse 2
Am – – – F – – – x8continents and mountain ranges boats out in the harbor
rivers clouds and cities all aflame
the sun went out the sky went red the horses our dancing in their skins
the taste of ash and sulfur on our lips
Where is my boy, where is my son. I seem to have lost him in the crowd
he was holding to my hand just a moment ago
I know he cannot find his way he is so small he is so lean he looks like
a scrap of paper on a branch
Break 2
Am – – – F – E – x4Riff
Am – – G x8Bridge
Am – – – E – – – F – – – C – – – x4I am flesh and you are pale, I am sleeping you are dead
we're all playing cards as the ship goes down
We're living as if we are not, hanging from a precipice
shuddering and lurching off the edge
but someday this will all be gone, as fast a match can be struck
take warning for the veil is very thin
the signs aren't difficult to read: we tread so heavy on the ground
and one day the ground it may give way
Verse 3
Am – – – F – – – x8I see you gilded gentlemen, I wish I'd set a torch to you while I still had the freedom of my legs
I do not trust you with my life
I do not trust you with my past I do not trust your hands upon the world
but now I'm sunken in the ground, all my strength to move is gone
and screaming is the last recourse that I have
you've left us with a barren earth, we know we are the aching land
a scorching waste with all the life of coal
