Cruel, cruel grounds

Leak truths never found
C# G#
Torturous ways

Whisper from the grave

F slow spun song of distortion
G# Cm D#
Bitter, bitter mouth
G# Cm D#
Spitin' out seeds of doubt

Careless hand
G# Cm D#
Lay and law of the land

Falls by the side

Weeds of discontent choke a broken ghost landscape
G# C#
Cruel, heartless reign
G# C#
Chasing short term gains
G# D# C#
Right down to the warning signs
G# C#
Birds refuse to fly
G# C#
No longer trust the sky
G# D# C#
Drifting out beyond the signals
G# C#
Even the horizon is gone
G# C#
Weather flees underground
G# D# Fm Cm
Future's left to wallow in fortune's waste
