Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Em][Am][Em][Am][G][Em]
[Am][A5][Am][Em]
[Am][G][Em][Am][Em][Am][G]
[Em]This is a

[Verse 1]
[Am]ghost town,
alive with the echoes of failures fled
[Dm]Lit up by shining faces
[Em]that parade these streets
What [Am]used to [C5]be[Am]
of hu[C5]mility is [Em]gone
You walk the mounds of skull and bones
[B5]Where [Am]liv ing is denied,
I see more movement in decom[Dm]position than [Em]in those hollow eyes[F5]

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Em]It is the only place I kno[Am]w,
where [G]death is most alive
[Em]It i[Am]s whe[Em]n truth is turned to lie,[Am]
that [G]death is most [Em]alive

[Verse 3]
Set [Am]flame to the ensnarers and
pierce that ornate shield
[Dm]Branded by what claims you,
you [Em]wear the mark [F]of death
[Am]Tear from loss and [G]agony,
[C5]a characte[Am]r defi[C5]ned
[Em]Stripped of all but tragedy,
what life is left [C5]to find?[B5]
[Dm]Go now, until there's nothing left
[C5]Go n[Am]ow, the dying has begun

[Verse 4]
[Am]It i[A5]s the[Am] only[Em] place I know,[Am]
where [G]death is most alive
[Em]It i[Am]s whe[Em]n truth is turned
to [Am]lie, that [G]death is most [Em]alive[F]

[Verse 5]
So [F]I flee [F5]from all that [F]is [Dm]me to[Am][G5][D5]
hide behind this [Am]pale dead [Bb]face[Bb5][Am]
[Dm]Whatever happened to desire,[C5]
want [Am]and n[A]eed?[Dm][Em]
[F5]Whatever happened[Em]
to [Dm]in tegr[A5]ity?[Am]
[Dm]Imagination is a cur[C5]se in all
[Am]of t[A]his[Dm][Em]
[F5]Whatever happened to[Em] the ones left be[Am]
[Em]hind?

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][C][Am][A5][Am][Em][Am][Dm][Em]
[Dm]This is a ghost

[Verse 6]
[Am]town,
[G]bod[C5]ies d[Am]ragged through endl[C5]ess stre[C]ets[Em]
Go now, to never [Dm]re tu[C]rn
[B5]I've[Am] seen more pitiful humiliation[Dm]
than you [Em]could never [F5]hide

[Interlude 3]
[Am][A5][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Em]It is the only place I know,[Am]
where [G]death is most [Em]alive[Am]
[Em]It is when truth is turned to lie,[Am]
[G]that death is most [Em]alive
[Am][A][A5][Am]
