Verse:
E           C         D                  Em
Oiled and uncoiled, I preach through the night
    C            D                     E5
The vestibule of hell casts a flash of dying light
E            C                    D5           E5
Magma on the porch, turf scorched where demons dwell
  C           D           C                       E5
I stand there bare, three steps from the gates of hell

Chorus:
Em           Dsus2                E
Sovereign in pain where the magma flows
C D Em             Dsus2                   C   Dsus2
    Joyful sinners stand in their shadowed rows
    C            G               Dsus2  Em
I’m twitching in sweat, strained by the toil
C                   D                    Em
Sprinkled with dead essence and tears of joy

Em D Em

Verse:
Em        C           D        Em
Ash rains down like a sinner's prayer
    C               D             E5        D
The taste of sulfur lingers heavy in the air
Em            C          D           Em
Chains rattle faintly, a hymn to the damned
C                D                        Em
Each link forged stronger by my trembling hands

    Joyful sinners stand in their shadowed rows
    C            G               D      E5
I’m twitching in sweat, strained by the toil
C                   D                    E5
Sprinkled with dead essence and tears of joy

The taste of sulfur lingers heavy in the air

Chains rattle faintly, a hymn to the damned

Each link forged stronger by my trembling hands

Bridge:
C           D           E5
Three steps closer, the gate starts to groan
    C            D                E5
The weight of my sins etched deep in the stone
D5     C              D       E5
   The heat sings its song, a requiem for the lost
      C       Bm                E5
No salvation ahead, just fire’s searing cost

The vestibule of hell burns eternal tonight

Forever bare, three steps from the gates of hell
