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