This is from Demon Hunter's second album, "Summer of Darkness." I was trying to learn it on this site when I realized the chords in the chorus were actually really easy, so I tried making the rest of it into an acoustic song...and this is what I came up with. I thought it would be nice for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics presented differently. I'll be posting my own recording of it on my profile if you want to actually hear how I play and sing it. I think my guitar's tuned down a half step, as well, just for reference. Here are some funky chords I use in the first and second choruses and the tag...all other chords are either normal chords or power chords exactly as written. D6var A2var E|---0------0---| B|---0------0---| G|---4------6---| D|---0------7---| A|---5------0---| E|---0------0---| Verse: Em C Em D Behind the eyes of my compassion lies a suffering soul Em C Em D And in my blood a bitter darkness slowly taking its toll Em C Em I feel the death of our connection and the fading of light C D Between the shards of sudden panic from choking on my life Em C Em D I see the scars of your addiction and the feeling you hide Em C Em D A blackened heart from all the hatred you will never rewind Em C Em Within the depths of your depression hear you pleading for help C D You're just a shell of vacant ruin, a portrait of myself Prechorus 1: G D Em C G D A2 I can't breathe alone; You can guide me home Chorus 1: E5 D6var D5 I am the face of your affliction A2var E5 Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull Verse: Em C Em D Beneath the skin of your aggression is a thickening fear Em C Em D A swelling plague from every devastating voice that you hear Em C Em You feel the throes of contradiction in the world that you left C D Another day in your delusion, the never-ending death Prechorus 2: G D Em C G D Em I can't breathe alone; You can guide me home G D Em C G D A2 I can feel You here; You can draw me near Chorus 2: E5 D6var D5 I am the face of your affliction A2var E5 Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull D6var D5 I am the pain of your conviction A2var E5 Stabbing you right through the back of your soul E5 F5 Eb5 E5 F5 Eb5 (play 2x, a little throwback to the original song's main riff) Bridge: E5 B5 D5 C5 D5 This is life, this is lo-ove Chorus 3: Em G D I am the face of your affliction A2 Em Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull G D I am the face of your affliiction A2 Em Stabbing you right through the back of your soul G D I am the pain of your conviction A2 E Stabbing you right through the back of your soul G D Em C G D A2 I can feel You here; You can draw me near E5 D6var D5 I am the pain of your conviction A2var E5 Stabbing you right through the back of your soul
