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

Am  Asus  Am
We  are   free 
                  F
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

Outro
        Am               F     Esus4  E
Yes, it comforts me much more
        Am               F    
Yes, it comforts me much more
   Esus4            E
To lay in the foundations of decay
Bb5 A5     Bb5 A5   Bb5 A5
       Get       up        coward
