Intro
D#m F# 4x
[Verse 1]
D#m G# B D#m
Poet, priest, and visionary rallied to the call
F# A#m D#m
The will of humankind defied them all
D#m G# B D#m
Coveting the gold and silver idols of success
F# A#m D#m
Only to perpetuate duress
[Interlude]
D#m F# 4x
[Verse 2]
D#m G# B D#m
Every king's assassin waiting silently at bay
F# A#m D#m
Counting down until his holy day
D#m G# B D#m
Artifacts of ancient wisdom buried in the sand
F# A#m D#m
Hastily upturned to clear the land
[Chorus]
F# A#m
Now I ain't going to claim to be the second son
F#
I love my follow man
B
But I hate what he's become
D#m G# D#m B D#m
And it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
[Interlude]
D#m F# 4x
[Verse 3]
D#m G# B D#m
To calculate the universe leads further from divine
F# A#m D#m
But can we comprehend all that we find?
D#m G# B D#m
Artifacts of ancient wisdom buried in the sand
F# A#m D#m
Neglected and denied by us again
[Chorus]
F# A#m
Now I ain't going to cast the first stone, you see
F#
I love my follow man
B
And I love what he could be
D#m G# D#m B D#m
But it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
