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