A#
Like a city overthrown
Dm
We're turning buildings into stone

We leave the bodies to the crows
Gm
On a funeral of fire
A#
Now we're choking on the fumes
Dm
Spread the lie and kill the truth
C
They're in the ashes of the proof
Gm
We watch the flames rise higher
[Chorus]

Now we're falling through the ice
Dm
We made our bed and rolled the dice
C
Well every gamble has a price

Waves are climbing past your knees
Dm
It's just the coming of the seas
C
It's getting harder now to breathe
Gm
We watched the tides rise higher
