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