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