D F#m A
Cruel, cruel grounds
D F#m A
Leak truths never found
G D
Torturous ways
G D
Whisper from the grave
G D A
B slow spun song of distortion
D F#m A
Bitter, bitter mouth
D F#m A
Spitin' out seeds of doubt
G D
Rituals seek root
G D
Razed before they're told
G D A
Stories break like branches in the cold
Bm G Bm F#m A
Seasons trial finds man's mistakes fair game
Bm F#m
D F#m A
Careless hand
D F#m A
Lay and law of the land
G D
Falls by the side
G D
Silenced sentient cries
G D A
All within the lines of divine right
Bm G Bm F#m A
Better bury the tracks in an unclosed case
Bm F#m
Bm F#m Bm F#m G
Weeds of discontent choke a broken ghost landscape
D G
Cruel, heartless reign
D G
Chasing short term gains
D A G
Right down to the warning signs
D G
Birds refuse to fly
D G
No longer trust the sky
D A G
Drifting out beyond the signals
D G
Even the horizon is gone
D G
Weather flees underground
D A Bm F#m
Future's left to wallow in fortune's waste
Bm F#m
