Dm
I woke up today
F                                           Dm
Expecting to find all that I sought
                         Bb                       Gm
And climb the mountains of the life I bought
Dm                          F
Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy
Dm           Bb               Gm
Unfortunately there is no one left
       Dm
But me


Dm

Dm
I woke up today
          F                                                         Dm
To a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone
                Bb                     Gm
I'm the king upon this withering throne
Dm                             F
I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea
            Dm            Bb                 Gm      F
Now there're but ruins left to rule for me
                 Eb       Cm                Gm  
And... you see, it beckons me;

Life turned its back on us

How could you just agree?

...how? I just don't see...


Dm
I woke up today
           F                                            Dm
To a world devoid of forests and trees
                     Bb                Gm
Drained of every ocean, every sea
              Dm                                    F
Just like a useless brick upon the shore
                                     Dm
The morning after the storm
                        Bb
That swept the bridge away
    Gm           F
Relentless tide
     Eb    Cm
No anger
                 D            Eb
Just this relentless time
          F          Eb 
That calls us all on

But...


C5                  Eb             Gm
I'm never crossing that line
              D5               C5
Leaving this world behind
           Eb                Gm
I will stay on my own
             D5       
On this bloodstained throne
C5              Eb             Gm
I rule the ruins and wrecks
D5                                C5
And the dust, dirt and stone
Eb        Gm                               D5
I rule rage rod and rattling of bones


( Bbm Bbm9 F# Ebm Db Ab/C ) - solo

Bbm
I am on my own
Bbm9
I am all alone
F#
Everything is gone
Edm
Stuck forever here
Dd  Ab/C  
Already cold


( Bb5  C#5  F5  C5 )
I'm never crossing that line

Leaving this world behind

I will stay on my own

On this bloodstained throne...


C5              Eb5            G5
I'm never crossing that line
               D5               C5
Leaving this world behind
          Eb5           G5
I will stay on my own
               D5
On this bloodstained throne
C5             Eb5           G5
I rule the ruins and wrecks
              D5                 F5               A5
And the dirt and the dust and the stone
                 E5       D5             F5
I'm the ruler of rage rod and rust
               A5           ( E5 G5 A5 B5 )
And the rattling of bones

Ruler of ruin...
