Verse:
Dm C A# Am
Tell you a thing that you ought to know
Gm F Gm Am
Two minutes of your time, then on you go
Dm C A# Am
Tell tale of the men all dressed in black
Gm F Gm Am
That most of them, not coming back
Dm C A# Am
Sent off to war to play little games
Gm F Gm Am
And on their return, can't name no names
Dm C A# Am
Some strange yellow gas has played with their minds
Gm F Gm Am
Has reddened their eyes, removed all the lies
Dm C A# Am
And strange as it sounds, death knows no bounds
Gm F
How many get well?
Gm Am
Only time will tell
|Dm C |A# Am |Gm F |Gm Am |
|Am Dm |Am C |Am Dm |
Am D5/A

Verse 1:
D5 F5 C5 D5
You lie in your death bed now
F5 E5
But what did you bring to the table?
D5 F5 C5
Brought us only holy sin
D5 F5 E5
Utter trust is a deadly thing
D5 F5 C5
To the prayer of holy peace
D5 F5 E5
We didn't know what was lying underneath
D5 F5 C5
So how could we be such fools?
D5 F5 E5
And to think that we thought you the answer
Pre-Chorus:
Dsus2 Em F
I can't begin to understand in all the lies
G Dsus2
But on your death bed, I can see it in your eyes
F G
Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
D
It really makes sense, I can really see it clearly now
Verse 2:
D5 F5 C5
Tangled up in a web of lies
D5 F5 E5
Could have been a way to prophesize
D5 F5 C5
Unaware of the consequence
D5 F5 E5
Not aware of the secrets that you kept
D5 F5 C5
Nothing that we could believe
D5 F5 E5
To reveal the facade of faceless men
D5 F5 C5
Not a thing that we could foresee
D5 F5 E5
Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
Pre-Chorus:
Dsus2 Em F
You had us all strung out with promises of peace
G Dsus2
But all along, your cover plan was to deceive
F
Can it put to rights now?
G
Only time will tell
D
Your prophecies will send us all to Hell as well
Chorus:
D5 E5 C5
Left to all our golden sons
G5 F5 D5
All to pick up on the peace
E5 C5
You could have given all of them
G5 F5 D5
A little chance, at least
E5 C5
Take the world to better place
G5 F5 D5
Given them all just a little hope
E5 C5
Just think what a lega--cy
G5 F5 D
You now, will leave

Verse 3:
Em C
We seemed destined to live in fear
Am F
And some that would say Armageddon is near
Em C
But where there's a life, while there's hope
Am F
That man won't self-destruct
Em C
Why can't we treat our fellow men
D G D/F#
With more respect and a shake of their hands?
Em C
But anger and loathing is rife
D G D/F# Em
The death on all sides is becoming a way of life
C
We live in an uncertain world
D G D/F# Em
Fear, understanding and ignorance is leading to death
C
Only the corpses are left
D G D/F#
For vultures that prey on their bones
Instrumental:
|Em C |Am F | 2x
Verse 4:
Em C
But some are just not wanting peace
D G D/F#
Their whole life is death and misery
Em C
The only thing that they know;
D G D/F#
"Fight fire with fire, life is cheap"
Em C
But if they do stop to think
D G D/F#
That man is teetering right on the brink
Em C
But do you think that they care?
D G D/F#
They benefit from death and pain and despair
Instrumental:
|Em C |Am F | 4x

Ending:
