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
