[Intro]
Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm Esus4 E
Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Dm Esus4 E
[Verse 1]
Am F G Em
See the man which stands upon the hill
F Dm Esus4 E
He dreams of all the battles won
Am F G Em
But fate had left its' scars upon his face
F Dm Esus4 E
With all the damage they had done
[Pre-chorus]
F G
And so tired, with age
Em Am
He turns, the page
G F
Let the flesh
F E
Submit itself to gravity
[Chorus]
F G
Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay
Em Am G
Let our blood invade, If I die in pain
F G
Now, If your convictions were a passing phase
Em Am G
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
F E Am
And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay
[Verse 2]
Am F
He was there
G Em
The day the towers fell
F Dm Esus4 E
And so he wandered down the road
Am F
And we would all
G Em
Build towers of our own
F Dm Esus4 E
Only to watch the roots corrode
F G
But it's much too late
Em Am G F
You're in the race so we'll press
F E
And press till you can't take it anymore
[Chorus]
F G
Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay
Em Am G
Let our blood invade, If I die in pain
F G
And if by his own hand his spirit flies,
Em Am G
Take his body as a relic to be canonized
F E
Now, And so he gets to die a saint but she will always be the whore

The guiltiness is yours
[Chorus]
G Em Am G
you must fix your heart
F G Em Am G
And you must build an altar where it was
F G
When the storm decays and the sky it rains
Em
Let it flood, let it flood
Am G
Let it wash away
F G
At last, we'll stumble through the last crusade
Em Am G
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?
F E
And as the swarming calls, we lay in the foundations

To lay in the foundations of decay
