VERSE 1 Right Hand MUTE
******** Heavy Riff Throughout Verses

As time slips through my finger tips B|---------------------|
Gm G|---------------------|
Like grains of sand in Caesars hands D|---------------------|
Dm A|-5--5-5--5--555--5-5-|
I can hear the time bomb as it ticks and it ticks E|---------------------|
Bb kinda hard to tab it out really
Not long to go now, no more will we stand just listen to it and you should
Dm get the feel for it.
Invincible, sure and superior
Gm
We are fallible weak and inferior
Dm
As we slip and we slide down the long mountainside
We’re the debris of a lost human tide

Dm
There's a feeling I can feel
Gm
As the clockwork clicks around
F#m A7
There's a shadow after me
Bb
And it waits without a sound
Dm
I'm so tired of standing by
Gm
While the fates design my life
Dm F#m
They never tell me why
Dm
The world must die!

CHORUS
*******
Dm
As time slips through my fingers
Fm
There's a void where the hope used to be
Dm
As time flows through my fingers
Fm
We see visions that no one should see
C#
And it's cold
G#m
So cold out here
C#
And it's cold
Dm
When there's so much to fear
E|E|E|E|E|----------------------------------------------------------|-||||
CHORUS
*******
Dm
As time slips through my fingers
Fm
I am blinded and alone
Dm
As time flows through my fingers
Fm
I am haunted by demons I have always known
C#
And it's cold
G#m
So cold out here
C#
And it's cold
Fm
When there's so much to fear… so near!
