Verse 1:
E minorEm
When does it get quiet?
A minorAm    B7B7      G+G    BB
Time was supposed to extinguish the
E minorEm      A minorAm       B7B7
desire But the embers won't snuff out

E minorEm       A minorAm
  Haunted by your smiles
  B7B7         G+G   BB
The mask keeps getting heavier
E minorEm    A minorAm        B7B7
 One step forward, two steps back

Chorus:
A minorAm                 B7B7
There's a noose round my neck and the further I get
   G+G    BB     E minorEm
It's harder & harder to breathe
  A minorAm    B7B7       G+G  BB  E minorEm
Can I find a way to cut the rope?

     A minorAm
I've been waiting for dawn
    B7B7
But the light is all gone
   G+G      BB    E minorEm
Don't know if I'm already blind
   A minorAm    B7B7   G+G BB E minorEm
Can I leave it all behind?

This victory is not what I hoped for
E minorEm       A minorAm     B7B7       G+G   BB
  How was I to know that everything would end up like this?
E minorEm         A minorAm       B7B7
  Survival of the fittest... of sorts

[Chorus}
         A minorAm
So I've become the bringer of death

The one who guards from the dark of the night
A minorAm      B7B7    G+G  BB E minorEm
I'll be the hammer of war
A minorAm     B7B7
Justice & mercy don't live side by side
  G+G   BB    E minorEm
So in retribution I abide
  A minorAm     B7B7       G+G   BB E minorEm
I'll tip the scales to justice's end
        E minorEm
but can it make amends?

E minorEm A minorAm B7B7

Verse 3:
      En    A minorAm   B7B7    G+G  BB E minorEm
Kill or be killed... what a way to live and die

I just can't see this cycle ever ending
E minorEm      A minorAm     B7B7       G+G  BB
  How can I correct the damage done when I can't
E minorEm       A minorAm         B7B7
 feel the consequences of my recourse

Chorus:
         A minorAm
So I've become the bringer of death
B7B7
A augmentedA lover of life
   G+G    BB       E minorEm
The one who guards from the dark of the night
A minorAm      B7B7    G+G  BB E minorEm
I'll be the hammer of war
     A minorAm
I've been waiting for dawn
    B7B7
But the light is all gone
   G+G      BB    E minorEm
Don't know if I'm already blind
   A minorAm    B7B7   G+G BB E minorEm
Can I leave it all behind?
