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