[Primera Parte]

              Em
When does it get quiet?
     Am          B7
The time was supposed
      G   B6/F#      Em
To extinguish the desire
        Am             B7    
But the embers won't snuff out

[Pre-Estribillo]

Em                   Am
   Haunted by your smiles
     B7                 G  B6/F#  Em
The mask keeps getting heavi______er
          Am            B7
One step forward, two steps back

[Estribillo]

           Am
There's a noose round my neck
         B7
And the further I get
      G        B6/F#      Em
It's harder & harder to breathe
       Am     B7             G    B6/F#  
Can I find a way to cut the rope?
Em             Am
   I've been waiting for dawn
         B7 
But the light is all gone
        G         B6/F#     Em
Don't know if I'm already blind
    Am         B7     G    B6/F#  Em
Can I leave it all behind?

( Em  Am  B7  G  B6/F# )
( Em  Am  B7 )

[Segunda Parte]

            Em
What's it really for
         Am           G     B6/F#  Em
If it's not yours and it's not    mine?
                            Am    B7
This victory is not what I hoped for

[Pré-Refrão 2]

Em                Am
   How was I to know
     B7               G       B6/F#  Em
That everything would end up like  this?
                 Am         B7
Survival of the fittest of sorts

[Refrão 2]

                     Am 
So I've become the bringer of death
   B7 
A lover of life
    G         B6/F#          Em
The one who guards from the dark of the night
Am           B7        G  B6/F#
I'll be the hammer of war
Em  Am                    B7
   Justice & mercy don't live side by side
   G       B6/F#  Em
So in retribution I abide
Am             B7       
I'll tip the scales
             G   B6/F#
To justice's end
Em
   But can it make amends?

( Am  B7  G  B6/F# )
( Em  Am  B7 )

[Terceira Parte]

         Em
Kill or be killed
  Am    B7     G   B6/F#  Em
What a way to live and   die
        Am                       B7
I just can't see this cycle ever ending

[Pré-Refrão 3]

Em               Am       B7
   How can I correct the damage done
     G  B6/F#  Em
When I can't  feel
           Am             B7
The consequences of my recourse

[Refrão 3]

                     Am
So I've become the bringer of death
   B7
A lover of life
    G         B6/F#
The one who guards
          Em
From the dark of the night
Am              B7     G  B6/F#
I'll be the hammer of war
Em            Am
   I've been waiting for dawn
         B7
But the light is all gone
        G         B6/F#     Em
Don't know if I'm already blind
        Am     B7     G    B6/F#  Em
Can I leave it all behind?
