Em When does it get quiet? Am B7 G Time was supposed to extinguish the Em Am B7 desire But the embers won't snuff out Em Am Haunted by your smiles B7 G The mask keeps getting heavier Em Am B7 One step forward, two steps back Chorus: Am B7 There's a noose round my neck and the further I get G Em It's harder & harder to breathe Am B7 G Em Can I find a way to cut the rope? Am I've been waiting for dawn B7 But the light is all gone G Em Don't know if I'm already blind Am B7 G Em Can I leave it all behind? What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine? This victory is not what I hoped for How was I to know that everything would end up like this? Survival of the fittest of sorts Chorus: So I've become the bringer of death, a lover of life The one who guards from the dark of the night, I'll be the hammer of war Justice and mercy don't live side by side, so in retribution, I abide I'll tip the scales to justice's end, but can it make amends? Kill or be killed, what a way to live and die I just can't see this cycle ever ending How can I correct the damage done when I can't feel The consequences of my recourse? Chorus: So I've become the bringer of death, a lover of life The one who guards from the dark of the night, I'll be the hammer of war I've been waiting for dawn, but the light is all gone Don't know if I'm already blind, can I leave it all behind? | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Em  G  B7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
