Intro
C#m A E G# (x2)
[Chorus]
C#m A
C# thousand eyes
E
Open inside
G# C#m
To grant me sight to see the end
A
C# thousand eyes
E
The curse of the wise
G#
Into the madness I descend
[Instrumental]
C#m D# (x8)
[Verse]
C#m
Many moons I've lingered lonely
G#
Many dreams I've overseen
C#m
Now I wait for one below me
A G# C#m
To arise and intervene
C#m
From the churches and the chapels
G#
Came the ones we must pursue
C#m
And though I long to be unshackled
A G# C#m
I shall see my burden through
[Pre-chorus]
C#m G# E A
And can you hear the choir sing
F#m G#
For pale blood satellites
C#m G# E A
To watch the end of everything
D G#
On this longest night
[Chorus]
C#m A
C# thousand eyes
E
Open inside
G# C#m
To grant me sight to see the end
A
C# thousand eyes
E
The curse of the wise
G#
Into the madness I descend
[Instrumental]
C#m D# (x4)
[Verse]
C#m
From my final perch I ponder
G#
On the infinite and vast
C#m
In the blindness I still wander
A G# C#m
Though my time has almost passed
C#m
There are things I longed to teach you
G#
In my institutions' creeds
C#m
Lurking just behind the corners
A G# C#m
Of our own realities
[Pre-chorus]
C#m G# E A
And can you hear the choir sing
F#m G#
Voices fill the spires
C#m G# E A
Hymns of want still echoing
D G#
Prayers on the lips of liars
[Chorus]
C#m A
C# thousand eyes
E
Open inside
G# C#m
To grant me sight to see the end
A
C# thousand eyes
E
The curse of the wise
G#
Into the madness I descend
C#m A
C# thousand eyes
E
Open inside
G# C#m
To grant me sight to see the end
A
The more I behold
E
The further I fold
G#
Into the madness I descend
[Guitar solo]
C#m A E G# (x2)
[Bridge]
C#m A
And the cogs creak a melody
E G#
Hear the deafening dirges rise
C#m A
And the ones who would never be
E G#
Behold the end with a thousand eyes
[Instrumental]
C#m A C#m F#m G#
[Outro]
C#m A
Paleblood will guide your way
C#m F#m G# C#m
Look to the inside to break the seals
A
Bleed out the dark, decay
E G#
Ascend to places beyond the real
C#m A
Paleblood will guide your way
C#m F#m G# C#m
Look to the inside to break the seals
A
Bleed out the dark, decay
E G#
Ascend to places beyond the real
C#m A E G#
Am
