[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
Broken [Am]down,
on [F]my knees
Only sound, ears that ring
The si[Dm]lence [G]is so [F]loud[C][F]
[G]I s[B]cream into [E]the[G#m] void
[E]So [Am]hold my [Dm]hand, walk [F]in to oblivion
[Dm]Go to the co[F] c[C]oon, t[F]ransformation
[Cm][F][E][F][E]

[Verse 2]
[A]The pain emporium
[Am]Stripped down and [F]bleeding
Broken of everything but pride
These mental [Dm]scars I [G]try to [Dm]hide[G]
My [Bm]head held [E]in my hands

[Verse 3]
[Am]Scars of sanctity, hatred's purity[Dm]
[F]Loss of my equilibrium
[Am]My s[Dm]oul is turning to ash
[F]This fai[G]thless sanitari[E]um

[Verse 4]
So wave [Am]goodbye, save [F]a prayer
[Dm]Don't you cry,
[Am]don'[F]t be scare[G]d[Bm][F][E]
For I have [Am]thrived with no [F]fear
Let me [Dm]die, [D]I'll [Bm]be th[B]ere[C]

[Bb]Dawn [Am]of th[Bb]e desola[Bbm]te
Prayers to pesti[Bb]lence
Deep[Bbm]er I fall in thi[Bb]s descent
[F]to [Bb]mad n[Am]ess
Nightfall my [Bbm]nemes [Bb]is,
[Am]dreams [Bb]drip with [Am]violence
Orgies of murder,
vi[E]cious [C#]acts so [Dm]senseless
[Bb]Piece by [Bbm]piece the kingdom shatters,

[Verse 7]
[Bbm]
[F]reality in tatter[Am]s
[F]The curse of [Am]chaos slo[Bbm]wly
[Am]consumes

paint the world [C#]in crimson [G#]hues
Paint the world in [G]crim
[G#]son hues
[Am][C#]

[Verse 8]

murder so [Bb]merciless
[Am]This blood[Bb] will quench the
[Am]thirst for [Bb]retri[Am] butio[E]n
[Am]Heartless, this homi[Bbm]cide
[Bb]Just[Bbm]ice so justi[Am]fied
Never last rites, there's only [C#]execution

[Verse 12]
[Bb]Limb from limb, I tear his body[Am]
[A]And leave the carcas[Bb]s rotting
The stench of [Am]death is [Bb]all t[Am]hat atones

[C#]Heartbreak[Dm], the cross I bare
Endless sorrow fills
the blackened [C#]air
These [Dm]pyres where love has died
A fire smothered, empti[C#]ness inside
[Dm]Angel adorned, halo of bullet shells[F]
Into the [Am]darkest [Dm]depths,
[C#]I cast the[Dm]m to rot in he[C#]ll
