VERSE
 Bm
A jester of sorts you stand
F#
holding your courts
   G         D  A/C#
Over minions on Capitol Hill
   G
In a bath full of blood
   Em
I'm alone standing still
   Bm     F#   Bm
Under God you can fire at will

CHORUS
Bm           G
When the devil's angels come
           D
To take your life and lead you
         F#
To the flamers beneath
           Bm
Your headstone reads now
           G
Here lies the dead who was
          D
Hung by his head beneath us
            F#
They're laying in their graves
Damnation free for all

BRIDGE: Bm

VERSE
 Bm
A prodigal son can't
 F#
undo what he's done
 G           D  A/C#
A figurehead of capitol crime
    G
With a light shining down
    Em
As you fall to your kness
   Bm      F#     Bm
To repent would be nothing but lies
