C#5                    D5                                              
There's a word for it

And words don't mean a thing
C#5                     D5
There's name for it

And names make all the difference in the world
G5
Some things can never be spoken
Eb5
Some things cannot be pronounced
G5                            A5
That word does not exist in any language
D5                                    F5
It will never be uttered by a human mouth

C#5
Let X make a statement
D5
Let breath pass through those cracked lips
C#5
That man was my hero
D5
And now that word has been taken from us
