[Am][Asus2][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Tell
you a thing [Dm]that you ought to [Am]know
Two minutes of your time, then on you go
Tell tale of the men all dressed in black
That most of them, not coming back
Sent off to war to [Dm]play [Am]little games
And on their return,
can't name no names
Some strange yellow gas has
[Dm]played with thei[Am]r minds
Has reddened their eyes,
removed all the lies
And strange as it sounds,
death knows no bounds
How many get well?
Only time will [Asus2]tell
[Am]
[Asus2][Am][Asus2][Am]
Only [Asus2]time will[Am] tell

[Verse 2]
You lie in your death bed [Am]now
But what did you [C]bring to the table?
[Am]Brought us only holy sin
Utter trust is a [C]deadly [Am]thing
To the prayer of holy peace
We didn't know what was
[C]lying underneath
[Am]So how could we be such fools?
And to think that we thought you the answer

[Verse 3]
I can't [Am]begin to understand in all the lies
But on your death bed,
I can see it in your eyes
Just as clear as all the sweat
upon your [Dm]brow[Esus4]
It really makes [Am]sense,
I can see it clearly now

[Verse 4]
Tangled up in a web of [Am]lies
Could have been a [C]way
[Am]to prophesize
Unaware of the consequence
Not aware of the [C]secrets [Am]that you kept
Nothing that we could believe
To reveal [C]the facade of faceless [Am]men
Not a thing that we could foresee
Now a sign that would tell us the outcome

[Verse 5]
You had [Am]us all strung [D]out
with [Am]promises of peace
But all along,
your cover plan was to deceive
Can it put to rights now?
Only time will [Dm]tell[Em]
[Esus4]Your prophecies wil[Am]l send
us all to Hell as well
Left to all our [Bm]golden [G]sons

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
All to pick up on the [Am]peace
You could have given [Bm]all of [G]them
[Dm]A little chance, at leas[Am]t
Take the world to [Bm]better [G]place
[D]Given the[Dm]m all just a little hop[Am]e
Just think what a [Bm]leg [G]acy [Am]you now w[Dm]ill l[Am]eave

[Verse 7]
We seemed destined [G]to live in fear
And [Em]some that would say
[C]Armageddon is [Bm]near
But where there's a [G]life,
while there's hope
That [Em]man won't self-destruct
[C]Why [Bm]Why can't we
treat [G]our fellow men
[Am]With more respect and [D]a shake
of their [Am]hands?[Bm]
But anger and [G]loathing is rife
The [Am]death on all sides is be
[D]coming a [Am]way of [Bm]life
We live in [G]an uncertain world
[Am]Fear, understanding and [D]ignorance
is [Am]leading to [Bm]death
Only the [G]corpses are left
[Am]For vultures that prey on their [D]bones[Am]

[Interlude 3]
[Bm][G]
[Esus4][Em][C][Bm]
[G][Em][Esus4][Em][C][Bm]

[Verse 8]
But some are just [G]not wanting peace
Their [Am]whole life is [D]death [Am]and misery[Bm]
The only [G]thing that they know
"Fight [Am]fire with fire,
life is [D]cheap"[Am][Bm]
But if they [G]do stop to think
That [Am]man is teetering [D]right
on the [A]brink[Am][Bm]
But do [G]you think that they care?
They [Am]benefit from death and pain an[D]d des[Am]pair
