[Verse 1]
G#m G#sus2
This heart-pounding day has finally arrived
G#7sus2 G#m Bsus2
All my living footfalls sigh like the night
G#7sus2 G#m Bsus2
Outside the war between illusion and truth
G#7sus2 G#m Bsus2
I found wisdom lain among putrid fruit of

Urgent and dead-eyed

[Verse 2]
G#m G#sus2
In the blue mist death has finally closed in
G#7sus2 G#m Bsus2
All my gasping words at war with the wind
G#7sus2 G#m Bsus2
Worshipping the fear of hell left me lost
G#7sus2 G#m Bsus2
I’ve found something for us, souls who have crossed
B7sus2 B C#
Charon’s torrent cold spiked black with frost
F# G#m B C#
Ashen and dead-eyed

Ashen and dead-eyed

He’s my blood
F# Emaj7 D#m7
Reflected in mud
G#m Bmaj7
Leave my body

Among the poppies

I’m nailed to your flaws
F# Emaj7 G
You were my god
