This inferno turned me blind
There was fire and smoke all around
E
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
D# G#m
In this unholy ground

Now the future is no more
We're all lost to this vicious whore

Only one of us came home

I sit here on my porch

As an old and lonely man

I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
