Title : A Song for Douglas After He's Dead

Am  F  Dm  E x3

Verse:

Am                                   F
 He crouches on the floor, there's a mask on the wall.
        Dm                           E
And he leafs, through the pages of a book.
     Am                   F
But wait as he may in the shadow of other leaves.
     Dm                   E
His heart, in embraces to times long since scorched.
     Am                         F
The horizon folds over, with a purple sun rise.
    Dm                   E
And the wind, carry smoke, from a world that is burning.
     Am                         F
The smoke clogs in his hair, and he's covered with patterns.
    Dm                   E
And a decent, of life trees, on his camouflaged soul.
     Am                         F
With a winter of memories, carved ponder bone white.
    Dm                   E
Beyond his skulls form, a scorpion lies.
     Am                         F
In the crunch of the snow, as his darkness increases.
    Dm                   E
A twilight of ice, encircles his teeth.

Chorus:

Am         F              Dm          E
This is a song for Douglas, after he's dead.
Am         F              Dm          E
This is a song for Douglas, his mercury dances.

Am F Dm E x2


     Am                         F
There's a swastika carved, in the palm of his hand.
    Dm                   E
There's a crooked cross, that is caught in his mind.
     Am                         F
There waits a falling sun, in his eyes.
    Dm                   E
There's the honor, of violence, on his lips.
     Am                         F
His father waits for him, at the towers of silence.
    Dm                   E
Where they worship the fires, so long ago quenched.
     Am                         F
But the two willow trees, with el has inverted.
    Dm                   E
The fork of life snapped, they are father and son.
     Am                         F
So mingling dust, as if life itself
    Dm                   E
Had been mostly illusion, but partially real.
     Am                         F
And partially pain.
    Dm                   E

     Am                         F
And over some wall, if you look through the rubble.
    Dm                   E
Amongst ruins of churches, where life conquers death.
    Am                         F
Thou empires can not last, where blood and soils concepts,
    Dm                   E
Faltered and failed, a cloud still sow his teeth.
    Am                         F
As the world disappears.

    Dm                   E

Chorus:

Am         F              Dm          E
This is a song for Douglas, after he's dead.
Am         F              Dm          E
This is a song for Douglas, his mercury dances.
(Am         F              Dm          E) x2
Na-nana-nanana-nananana (repeated)

Am
