Like a city overthrown
               F# minorF#m
We're turning buildings into stone
               E MajorE
We leave the bodies to the crows
        B minorBm
On a funeral of fire

             D MajorD
Now we're choking on the fumes
               F# minorF#m
Spread the lie and kill the truth

We watch the flames rise higher

We made our bed and rolled the dice

Well every gamble has a price
              B minorBm
We watched the cracks grow wider

               D MajorD
Waves are climbing past your knees
              F# minorF#m
It's just the coming of the seas

It's getting harder now to breathe

We watched the tides rise higher
