[Intro]
D/F# Dm/F# E7sus4 E7
[Verse 1]
Asus A C E
It's been a brutal existence for most, this far
F C Asus Am/D* Am/D
We were clawin' in the dirt, we were dyin' in birth
G E F C
We were grindin' grain in the noon day suuuuuun
G E F Am
With mad men spitting bloody feathers to appease the demons
D/F# Dm/F# E7sus4 E7
Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh
[Verse 2]
Asus A C E
It's been a Godless existence, for some, this far
F C Asus Am/D* Am/D
We were breaking bread, in a brotherhood of men
G E F C
Now I can't recall a single memory of our universal past
G E F Am
And I've never felt a drop of blood fall from beneath my singing axe
D/F# Dm/F# E7sus4 E7
Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh
[Instrumental]
Asus A C E
[Verse 3]
Asus A C E
It's been a voiceless wilderness for most, of us this far
F C
And there's no prophet on the mount
Asus Am/D* Am/D
Whose words won't be drowned out
G E F C
By our locust finger's clicking never ending in our laps
G E F Am
We traded in divine inheritance to break our pagan masks
G E F Am
Are there none who walk among us who remember what we had
