Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]An iron
fist in a velvet glove
Another vulture posing [D]as [G]a dove[D][Em]
Do you have no shame? Look
at what you've become
You are the reason we are bitter and
[D]then [Em]some[D][Em]
Bitter and [D]then [Em]some
[D][Em]

[Verse 2]
They sing of [D]sa [Em]viors, we sing of sorrow
But we're still [D]hold[Em]ing
on for [D]dear [Em]life

[Verse 3]
You sold us all down the river
I hope [C]you choke on the vows that
you failed [A]to [Em]deliver
You said you'd change the world,
but death still [C]flies east
The blind lead the [A]blind,
so we bomb for [Em]peace

[Verse 4]
[Em]Gravedigger (gravedigger) there's
[D]blood on [C]your hands
You built this em[A]pire on salt and [Em]sand
Not all is fair in love and [D]war[C]
History repeats,
[A]we've seen this all before
[Em]We've given the vamp[D]ires
the keys to the [Em]blood bank
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]They say the more things change,
the more they stay the same
While the liars leech,
the crooked [D]preach[Em]
So lie through your teeth, lie like you mean it
It beggars belief, do you really think
that [C]we still [Em]fucking [D]belie[Em]ve it?
You fucking parasite
There's no room in here
for an honest [D]man[C]
Only cal[A]lous and cold [Em]hearts

[Verse 6]
[Em]Gravedigger (gravedigger), there's
blood [D]on [C]your hands
You built this em[A]pire on salt and [Em]sand
Not all is fair in love and [D]war
[C]History repeats,
[A]we've seen it all [Em]before[G]

[Verse 7]
Op[Em]press[D]or,
[C]you built this emp[A]ire on salt and[Em] sand[G]
[D]Op [Em]press[D] or[C], you built this em[A]pire

[Interlude 1]
on salt and sand
[Em][C][Em][C][D][Em]

[Verse 8]
An [Em]iron fist in a velvet glove
Another vulture posing as a [D]dove[Em]
Do you have no shame? Look at
what you've become
You are the reason we are bit[G]ter and
then [Em]some[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
Bitter and [D]then [Em]some
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 9]
They sing of saviors, we sing of sorrow
But [Em]we're still [D]hold[Em]ing on f[D]or dear [Em]life
