D5
I woke up today
F5                                           D5
Expecting to find all that I sought
                         Bb5                       G5
And climb the mountains of the life I bought
D5                          F5
Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy
D5           Bb5               G5
Unfortunately there is no one left
       D5
But me


D5

D5
I woke up today
          F5                                                         D5
To a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone
                Bb5                     G5
I'm the king upon this withering throne
D5                             F5
I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea
            D5            Bb5                 G5      F5
Now there're but ruins left to rule for me
                 Eb5       C5                G5  
And... you see, it beckons me;

Life turned its back on us

How could you just agree?

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


D5
I woke up today
           F5                                            D5
To a world devoid of forests and trees
                     Bb5                G5
Drained of every ocean, every sea
              D5                                    F5
Just like a useless brick upon the shore
                                     D5
The morning after the storm
                        Bb5
That swept the bridge away
    G5           F5
Relentless tide
     Eb5    C5
No anger
                 D5            Eb5
Just this relentless time
          F5          Eb5 
That calls us all on

But...


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                                C5
And the dust, dirt and stone
Eb5        G5                               D5
I rule rage rod and rattling of bones


( Bb5 Bb5 F#5 Eb5 Db5 Ab5 ) - solo

Bb5
I am on my own
Bb5
I am all alone
F#5
Everything is gone
Edm
Stuck forever here
Dd  Ab5  
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...
