LYRICS:
E5 C5 E5
I know
A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
that the sunset empire shudders and shakes
E5 C5 E5
and I know
A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
there's a floodgate and a raging river
E5 C5 E5
I say
A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
see the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel
E5 C5
and I say
E5 A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
hear the punch drunk buddle as they drive on a hammer and wheel
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5
G5 C5 G5 C5
sometimes you're beaten to the call sometimes
G5 C5 G5 A5
sometimes you're taken to the wall
F5
but you don't give in
G5 C5 G5 C5
sometimes you're beaten to the call sometimes
G5 C5 G5 A5
sometimes you're taken to the wall
F5
and you don't give in
E5 C5 E5 A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
E5 C5 E5
I know
A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties
E5 C5 E5
I know
A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
they arm wrestle on the altar
E5 C5
I say
E5 A5 E5 C5 E5 A5
don't leave your heart in a hard place
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5
G5 C5 G5 C5
sometimes you're beaten to the call sometimes
G5 C5 G5 A5
sometimes you're taken to the wall
F5
and you don't give in
G5 C5 G5 C5
sometimes you're beaten to the call sometimes
G5 C5 G5 A5
sometimes your taken to the wall
A5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5
but you don't give in
