Tom: G#m
D#m C#
So we blame You
B F#
‘Cause our world’s not come out right
G#m D#m
While the devil’s masquerading
B C#
As an angel of the light
D#m C#
Just imagine
B F#
All the pride and all the nerve
G#m C# B F#
To ask where You’ve been, when we’re the ones we serve
G#m F#
It’s not a mystery, it’s been foretold
G#m F# E
But we ignored the warning bell so long ago
G#m
There’s a way that seems right unto men
E F#
But we’ll die with the wages of sin
Chorus
G#m F# E B
As the world lies bleeding
C#m G#m E F#
The giant is no longer sleeping
G#m F# E B
Poisoned harvest reaping
C#m G#m E F# G#m
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
G#m
Gone
Verse 2
G#m F# G#m
We live our lives like we could care less what You have to say
F# E
Then curse the skies when You don’t come clean up the ugly mess we’ve made
G#m E F#m
But You gave us a choice and we made it and dug ourselves into a hole
G#m F# G#m
We always thought we knew the way despite the things You said
F# E
We just ignored the pile of bodies and the bloodstains on the bed
G#m E F#
Painting ourselves right into a corner as life spiraled out of control
Chorus
G#m F# E B
As the world lies bleeding
C#m G#m E F#
The giant is no longer sleeping
G#m F# E B
All we've sown now reaping
C#m G#m E F# G#m
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone

See us – Our promised land of milk and honey
G#m
Became a land of filth and money
Like Babylon and Rome before
G#m
A land of greed and sin and guilt, a stained and scarlet whore
C# C#
See us – Living in our ivory towers
G#m
Self-appointed kings with no power
Built a monument to man
C#m B C#m
We’re passing down empty decrees like a disease across the land

This is the system we’ve created
This is the world so devastated
C#
This is what it looks like when mankind asks You to just leave us alone
D#m
This is the monster now awakened
This is our legacy creation

This is the place we end up when we say that we can do this on our own

This is our masterpiece: corruption
This is our monument: destruction
C# B C# D#m
Game point of life and death, the nadir of existence painted black
This is the road the Hell we’ve wandered
This is inheritance we’ve squandered
C#
So raise a glass to all we’ve lost and wonder if we’ll ever get it back

Outro
D#m C#
Please forgive us
B F#
For we’ve only made it worse
G# D#m
Even after You had warned us
B C#
Sin would only bring a curse
D#m C# B F#
Guess we knew better, so we went a different way
G# C# B F#
Now we’re only sleeping in the bed we made
D#m C#
All the glory
B F#
And the power left this place
G# D#m
When we turned our backs upon You
B C#
And chose to live in our disgrace
D#m C#
But You warned us
B F#
And You let us have our way
G# C# B F#
Now we’re only drowning in the mess we made
G#m F# E F#
Blood on our hands
G#m F# E F#
Blood on our hands

Blood on our hands
