Am
Transfixed on a sin

It's always watching

It shivers my skin
                        E
I cannot shake from its sight
Am
Translucent and blue

Shades never blinking

Fueled by booze
                         E
Gets me to thinking it's right

[Chorus]
    Dm          Am          E           Am

    Dm                     Am
The beating is bursting my brain
E                  Am
Punishing, pulling apart
    Dm                     Am
The pounding, it drives me insane
       E                    Am
Please silence this hideous heart

Am
The madness it grins

Burns me like matches

Blood running thin
                    E
Haunting me day and night
Am
Shadows like hymns

From hell and ashes

Calling me, calling me
               E
'Bury the evil eye'

[Chorus]
    Dm          Am          E           Am
