As The World Bleeds - As The World Bleeds - Theocracy


Verse 1 - N.C

Why do we only call Your name when there?s no one else to call?

And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall

Why do we say You?ve failed us

And You?ve turned Your eyes away

When we?re only sleeping in the bed we made?

Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?

Why?s the path we?ve made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?

Why?d we ignore the warnings that we?ve read and always known

And get angry when we reap the things we?ve sown?

Verse 1 - Continued
   D#mD#m    C#C#
So we blame You
      BB          F#F#
?Cause our world?s not come out right
     G# minorG#m     D#mD#m
While the devil?s masquerading
   BB       C#C#
As an angel of the light
   D#mD#m  C#C#
Just imagine
    BB         F#F#
All the pride and all the nerve
    G# minorG#m           C#C#        BB    F#F#
To ask where You?ve been, when we?re the ones we serve
G# minorG#m           F#F#
It?s not a mystery, it?s been foretold
G# minorG#m                   F#F# E MajorE
 But we ignored the warning bell so long ago
             G# minorG#m
There?s a way that seems right unto men
     E MajorE           F#F#
But we?ll die with the wages of sin


Chorus
    G# minorG#m  F#F#  E MajorE  BB
As the world lies bleeding
  C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m    E MajorE  F#F#
The giant is no longer sleeping
     G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE BB
Poisoned harvest reaping
C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m    E MajorE      F#F#    G# minorG#m
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
G# minorG#m
Gone

Verse 2
G# minorG#m                F#F#               G# minorG#m
 We live our lives like we could care less what You have to say
                              F#F#     E MajorE
Then curse the skies when You don?t come clean up the ugly mess we?ve made
         G# minorG#m            E MajorE          F# minorF#m
But You gave us a choice and we made it and dug ourselves into a hole
G# minorG#m               F#F#                G# minorG#m
 We always thought we knew the way despite the things You said
                      F#F#         E MajorE
We just ignored the pile of bodies and the bloodstains on the bed
                G# minorG#m    E MajorE            F#F#
Painting ourselves right into a corner as life spiraled out of control


Chorus
    G# minorG#m  F#F#  E MajorE  BB
As the world lies bleeding
  C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m    E MajorE  F#F#
The giant is no longer sleeping
     G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE BB
All we've sown now reaping
C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m    E MajorE      F#F#    G# minorG#m
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone

C#C#
See us ? Our promised land of milk and honey
              G# minorG#m
Became a land of filth and money

Like Babylon and Rome before
G# minorG#m
A augmentedA land of greed and sin and guilt, a stained and scarlet whore
C#C#              C#C#
See us ? Living in our ivory towers
               G# minorG#m
Self-appointed kings with no power

Built a monument to man
                        C# minorC#m  BB  C# minorC#m
We?re passing down empty decrees like a disease across the land

This is the system we?ve created

This is the world so devastated
C#C#
 This is what it looks like when mankind asks You to just leave us alone
D#mD#m
This is the monster now awakened

This is our legacy creation
C#C#                  BB            C# minorC#m  D#mD#m
 This is the place we end up when we say that we can do this on our own

 This is our masterpiece: corruption

This is our monument: destruction
C#C#                  BB          C#C#   D#mD#m
 Game point of life and death, the nadir of existence painted black

This is the road the Hell we?ve wandered

This is inheritance we?ve squandered
C#C#
 So raise a glass to all we?ve lost and wonder if we?ll ever get it back

Please forgive us
     BB      F#F#
For we?ve only made it worse
   G#G#      D#mD#m
Even after You had warned us
     BB      C#C#
Sin would only bring a curse
       D#mD#m  C#C#   BB        F#F#
Guess we knew better, so we went a different way
     G#G#      C#C#      BB   F#F#
Now we?re only sleeping in the bed we made
    D#mD#m  C#C#
All the glory
    BB        F#F#
And the power left this place
    G#G#        D#mD#m
When we turned our backs upon You
       BB       C#C#
And chose to live in our disgrace
     D#mD#m   C#C#
But You warned us
    BB       F#F#
And You let us have our way
     G#G#      C#C#       BB   F#F#
Now we?re only drowning in the mess we made
G# minorG#m  F#F#   E MajorE F#F#
Blood on our hands
G# minorG#m  F#F#   E MajorE F#F#
Blood on our hands
G# minorG#m  F#F#   E MajorE F#F#
Blood on our hands
G# minorG#m  F#F#
Blood on our
