E
Dark and dirty
                     F G E
Like you have never seen
A mind so twisted
                      F G E
With thoughts so unclean.
My heart is racing
                  F G E
All tattered and torn
I stand here naked
                  F G E
As the day I was born.

Chorus:
Am                F
Over and over I stand
Am                           F
I'm holding the world in my hand
            E
I got to believe

The sky is falling
On this setting son
Echoes of silence
Ringing loud and long
This isolation
Is the king of pain
A lost horizon
In an ocean of flames

Chorus

Am                G   Am F
I've been here before,
                           Am
But not as I stand here today
                G  Am
I wait for the dawn
          F             E
Ready to walk into the light
