Tom: Dm
Dm Am
I've spent all of this time
Bb
A cauldron stirring hate despite
G
How every second I've been gone
Are seconds gone to waste
Dm Am
But here you are, it's unexplained
Bb
It's what can only be my fate
G
We share a common point of view
I'm glad we can relate
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm Am
All-powerful and pained
Bb
Par for the masquerade
G
What once was fueling rage
Is now part of the game
Dm Am
My vision through your eyes
Bb
Our coalescing minds
G
Have given me new life
And now their lives are mine
[Chorus]
Dm Am
As blade and brawn clash in the dust
Bb
Of every brawl victorious
G
No rhyme or reason, just a smile
That's only growing wider
Dm Am
Hundreds of voices cry above
Bb
Their pleading echoing at once
G
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"
But I have brought their pyre
[Instrumental]
Dm Am Bb G
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
You've faced monsters on your own
Bb
You've even stood before a throne
Maybe in other lives, you've
G
Held on despite everything
Dm Am
But here and now, you'll finally know
Bb
Just what it means to lose control
G
Just what it's like to watch them burn
And never feel a thing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm Am
All-knowing and so pained
Bb
Par for the masquerade
G
What once wanted to save
Has now become a slave
Dm Am
My vision through your eyes
Bb
Our coalescing minds
G
Have given me new life
And now we intertwine
[Chorus]
Dm Am
As blade and brawn clash in the dust
Bb
Of every brawl victorious
G
No rhyme or reason, just a smile
That's only growing wider
Dm Am
Hundreds of voices cry above
Bb
Their pleading echoing at once
G
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"
But I have brought their pyre
[Post-Chorus]
Dm
No man can stop this wave
Am
No beast is standing in my way
Bb
No one below or in the sky
G
Will be the one who's left alive
Dm Am
Once full of mercy, full of love
Bb
You fear just what I have become
G
You know I'd walk a million miles
To set your world on fire
Dm Am
(Your world on fire)
Bb G
Dm Am Bb G
[Bridge]
Am Bb
It seems we two have reached the absolute
C Dm
There's nothing left to see, nothing to do
Am Bb
We both have greater things we can pursue
C Dm
I think it's time we moved to something new
Am Bb
Amusing, is not? How far you'll go
C Dm
To keep this world from being left alone
Am Bb
How you would face me here and tell me "no"
C Dm
As if you were the one who had control
[Chorus]
Dm Am
As blade and brawn clash in the dust
Bb
Of every brawl victorious
G
No rhyme or reason, just a smile
That's only growing wider
Dm Am
Hundreds of voices cry above
Bb
Their pleading echoing at once
G
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"
But I have brought their pyre
[Post-Chorus]
Dm
No man can stop this wave
Am
No beast is standing in my way
Bb
No one below or in the sky
G
Will be the one who's left alive
Dm Am
Once full of mercy, full of love
Bb
You fear just what I have become
G
You know I'd walk a million miles
