Verse 1:
Bb C Dm C
Across the flatlands we came out of nowhere special
Bb C Dm Am
Like a peasant revolution - makeshift weapons in our hands
Bb C Dm C
We crashed the gates so hard we'd never heard that kind of sound before
Bb C Dm Am
And braced ourselves for victory and the spoils of the land
Gm Am
Defences melt away before our frozen blank surprise
Gm A
From the palace now we stare into a million waiting eyes
Chorus:
Dm F/C Am
I've got my trophies on the wall, the heads I've hunted down the hall
Dm F/C Am
And I guard my winnings well, carry them with me when I fall
Dm F/C Am
Now the daylight hours pass like the people I have lost
Dm F/C Am
In the triumph of the hour, in the bloody cause - lust for power
Riff with verse chords (Bb C Dm C)
Verse 2:
Bb C Dm C
Like a vision she dances through the shafts of light
Bb C Dm Am
Everything I've ever dreamed about focused true and bright
Bb C Dm C
And fortune opens up the ground, blackens out the sky
Bb C Dm Am
I kissed her once, I kissed her twice but I couldn't remember why
Gm Am
When I was young they taught me well to always play to win
Gm A
But they never said what happens when you've won the bloody game
Chorus
Bridge:
(Gm F Eb) x2
Cm D
And all desire is satisfied but still the hunt goes on
Gm A
It's funny how this feeling stays with all the reasons gone
Verse 3:
Bb C Dm C
We've seen them fat and bloated those who once could hold a flame
Bb C Dm Am
I've run for home and words gone by but nothing seems the same
Bb C Dm C
I can watch the world in secrecy from one side of this glass
Bb C Dm Am
From the other my reflection and I don't know which is worse
Gm Am
The streets are lined with glittering stores and a million fatted calves
Gm A
I can catch myself sometimes these days and all I do is laugh, laugh
Chorus
