Intro:
Dm-C x4
DmCA thousand bloody hand prints stain the walls of liberty,
DmCDm
a stranger hides in dreams denied, awaiting his release.
C
I've seen this picture before.
DmC
I never thought that we would end up here.
DmC
When fascism comes as an angel of light
DmCDm
its license parading as tyranny drives forth its son.
Bb-Gm-Ebmaj7-Dm-Bb-Gm-Ebmaj7DmC
The son of morning dominating fears,
afflicting fallen men.
DmCDm
His body highly organized; it's coming into prominence
C
to bear its ominious warnings.
DmC
It's in your blood to comprehend its origin,
DmC
for those who refuse to remember the past are
Dm
condemned to repeat it,
CDm
the first and the last, dust to dust...
Bb-Gm-Ebmaj7-Dm-Bb-Gm-ADmBbFC
History is his story
GmDm
and life is laughing at its peril.
FCDm
Building towers that come forth in men,
FCDm
Shifting powers consuming us within,
FCA
they will puzzle the apostles till the end.
DmABbCFCDm
Enter into the silence, into the dying life of America,
CBbADm
the brave, the slave, the grave.
C-Dm-CDm-A-Bb-Gm-A-F-Bb-A x2
DmABbGm
The shattered pigs dying as primitive savages,
AFBbA
eating their flesh, they will lie rotting in dirt,
DmABbGm
while a stranger among you has challenged the course
AFBbA
of inhuman existence and alien forces.
DmABbGm
The birth of a black prince is setting the stage
AFBbA
in its thriving dissension, exalting his rank,
DmABbGm
and the innocent man will fall victim to hands in the
AFBbA
trial of the truth and its twisted reversal.
DmABbGm
The union of factions bleeds shock to the system,
AFBbA
for civilization has ended today.
DmABbGm
The transitional nature of acts and society
AFBbA
climbs in its place while its face re-creates
DmBbFC
until your god is dead.
Gm
Enlighten me with your pale statues,
Dm
face of inhibition,
BbFCGm
and until your reign has ended, frighten me with your
Dm
stale-taste-tongue of inquisition.
FCDmF
In your eyes I will come forth in men with no justice,
CDm
no order to defend,
FCA
and the stone will be cast again..
DmABbCFCDm
Enter into the fire, into the bloody gates of America,
CBbADmC
the great, the fate, the late.
