[Verse 1]
Am C
The seventh hell inside us impales and divides us
Dm E
And scatters our skin with the seed
Am C
Of our deeds devoured, on other worlds showered
Dm E Am
As our demon celestials bleed
[Instrumental] x2
Am C Dm E
[Verse 2]
Am C
The seventh heaven's promise, the Gospel of Thomas
Dm E
The Shahadat's secrets are saved
Am C
As the dead and the sleeping still fear a flesh reaping
Dm E Am
And gather their gold for the grave
[Chorus]
Dm Am
In bonds of conscience respiration fails
E Am
Blind suffocation proceeds
Dm Am
By floodwaters swallowed, the proprium of whales
C E Am
Shed these lung spires and breathe
Dm Am
Eyes end in flames and the brow settles
E Am
Sunk cheek to jaw
Dm Am
Lips forming shame and the mind's metal
C E Am
Floods one and all
[Verse 3]
Am C
Laws of men lay claim to all those without shame
Dm E
Who enlighten themselves with the lies
Am C
That our souls are bound to the deafening sounds
Dm E Am
As the megaphones fill up the skies
[Chorus]
Dm Am
In bonds of conscience respiration fails
E Am
Blind suffocation proceeds
Dm Am
By floodwaters swallowed, the proprium of whales
C E Am
Shed these lung spires and breathe
Dm Am
Eyes end in flames and the brow settles
E Am
Sunk cheek to jaw
Dm Am
Lips forming shame and the mind's metal
C E Am
Floods one and all
[Outro]
E Am
No sacred sound remains unscathed despite the fall
E Am
No shouting shafts of light are saved
E Am
No demon's peace prescribed for pain to one and all
C E Am Dm Am E Am
No foul facade left saving face
Am C
The seventh hell inside us impales and divides us
Dm E
And scatters our skin with the seed
Am C
Of our deeds devoured, on other worlds showered
