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