Biography:

[Verse 1]
G C G
Not craving in a piece of stone, in silver, bronze or gold
D C G
My idols meet me at my work and they follow me back home
G C G
At my altar of profession, the skills I have acquired
D C G
The sacrifices growing in succession, and my worship is required
[Chorus]
Am C D G
So I can finally sit and marvel at my slaughtered bulls and lambs
Em Em/F# G C
On a shattered slab of marble that somehow makes me
D G
That makes me who I am
[Interlude with intro riff]

[Verse 2]
G C G
I’ve only known one way to face this curse, that’s to find my worth within my work
D C G
To make my sweat water this earth until they lay me back down in the dirt
G C G
They say a man is made of clay and he was made to rest each seventh day
D C G
For the sake of my own name I will make myself a home
[Chorus]
Am Am/B C D G
So I can see you once I’ve paid my dues and the daily debts I own
Em Em/F# G C D G
And I can take my rest under a room and have you beg me, beg me not to go

So what then would I be if I stopped doing what I do?
D C G
And nobody could see the trouble I go through
G C G
To make something that’s worth the hardship I endured
D C G
To live under this curse and work to find it’s cure
[Chorus]
Am Am/B C D G
There’s twenty-nine links around my legs and each one bares my name
Em Em/F# G C D G
I won’t be worried long if you could break, if you could break that chain
