[Intro]
---------------------
F#m    | C#m | B   | A | G# | F#m 
G#sus4 | G#  | C#m | B | A  | G#  | F#m 
G#sus4 | G#  

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C#m        A          B             G#m
See the man who stands upon the hill
A                F#m               G#sus4 G#
 He dreams of all   the battles won
    C#m          A         B             G#m
But fate had left its scars upon his face
A               F#m               G#sus4 G#
 With all the damage they had done

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       A            B
And so time with age
        G#        C#m
It turns  the page
B            A
Let the flesh
                    G#
Submit itself to gravity

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
          A                        B
Let our bodies lay, mark our hearts with shame
             G#m                     C#m       B
Let our blood   in vain, you find God   in pain
    A                               B
Now, if your convictions were a passing faith
            G#m                          C#m     B
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
A
 And as the vermin crawls
      F#m             G#           C#m
We lay   in the foundations of decay  

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#m          A       B               G#m
He was there, the day the towers fell
A             F#m                G#sus4 G#
 And so he wandered down the road
    C#m         A        B              G#m
And we would all build towers of our own
A             F#m                 G#sus4 G#
 Only to watch   the roots corrode

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         A            B
But it's much too late
         G#        C#m
You're in  the race
B        A
So we'll press
                             G#
And press 'til you can't take  it anymore

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
          A                        B
Let our bodies lay, mark our hearts with shame
             G#m                     C#m       B
Let our blood   in vain, you find God   in pain
A                                B
 And if, by his own hand, his spirit flies
           G#m                   C#m     B
Take his body as a relic to be canonized, now
A                             G#
 And so he gets to die a saint
                               C#m
But she will always be the whore  

[Breakdown]
---------------------
You look stressed out!
Against faith! Cage all the animals!
Against all life! 'Cause the message must be pure!
Against change! You can wander through the ruins!
                                         A B
We are plagued! But the poison is the cure

[Bridge]
---------------------
        G#m              C#m B
You must   fix your heart
A       B                G#m                C#m E
 And you must build an altar where it swells

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
             A                      B
When the storm it gains, and the sky it rains
             G#m                         C#m    B
Let it flood,   let it flood, let it wash   away
A                                    B
 And as you stumble through your last crusade
            G#m                             C#m      B
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?
A                                 G#
 And as the swarm it calls, we lay  in the foundations

[Outro]
---------------------
        C#m B    A  G#   F#m
Yes, it comforts me much more
G#sus4 G#        C#m B    A  G#   F#m
         Yes, it comforts me much more
      G#sus4             G#            C#m
To lay      in the foundations of decay
Get up, coward!
