As the World Bleeds Theocracy
Verse 1 - N.C
Why do we only call Your name when there's no one else to call?
And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall
Why do we say You've failed us
And You've turned Your eyes away
When we're only sleeping in the bed we made?
Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?
Why's the path we've made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?
Why'd we ignore the warnings that we've read and always known
And get angry when we reap the things we've sown?
Verse 1 - Continued
So we [D#m]blame You[C#]
'Cause our [B]world's not come out[F#] right
While the [G#m]devil's masq[D#m]uerading
As an [B]angel of the l[C#]ight
Just i[D#m]magine[C#]
All the [B]pride and all the [F#]nerve
To ask [G#m]where You've been, when [C#]we're the ones we [B]serve[F#]
[G#m]It's not a mystery, it's [F#]been foretold
[G#m] But we ignored the warning bell so long[F#] ag[E]o
There's a way that seems [G#m]right unto men
But we'll [E]die with the wages of [F#]sin
Chorus
As the [G#m]world [F#]lies [E]blee[B]ding
The [C#m]giant is [G#m]no longer [E]slee[F#]ping
Poisoned [G#m]harv[F#]est [E]rea[B]ping
[C#m]Blindly we [G#m]just carry [E]on, but the [F#]glory is [G#m]gone
[G#m]Gone
Verse 2
[G#m] We live our lives like we could [F#]care less what You have to say[G#m]
Then curse the skies when You don't come clean up the ugly [F#]mess we've [E]made
But You gave us a [G#m]choice and we made it and [E]dug ourselves into a [F#m]hole
[G#m] We always thought we knew the [F#]way despite the things You said[G#m]
We just ignored the pile of bodies and the [F#]bloodstains on the [E]bed
Painting ourselves right into a [G#m]corner as [E]life spiraled out of con[F#]trol
Chorus
As the [G#m]world [F#]lies [E]blee[B]ding
The [C#m]giant is [G#m]no longer [E]slee[F#]ping
All we've [G#m]sown [F#]now [E]rea[B]ping
[C#m]Blindly we [G#m]just carry [E]on, but the [F#]glory is [G#m]gone

[C#]See us - Our promised land of milk and honey
Became a land of filth and [G#m]money
Like Babylon and Rome before
[G#m]A land of greed and sin and guilt, a stained and scarlet whore
[C#]See us - Living in our ivory [C#]towers
Self-appointed kings with no [G#m]power
Built a monument to man
We're passing down empty decrees like a disease [C#m]across [B]the [C#m]land

[D#m]This is the system we've created
This is the world so devastated
[C#] This is what it looks like when mankind asks You to just leave us alone
[D#m]This is the monster now awakened
This is our legacy creation
[C#] This is the place we end up when we [B]say that we can do this [C#m]on our [D#m]own

This is our monument: destruction
[C#] Game point of life and death, the n[B]adir of existence pa[C#]inted bl[D#m]ack
This is the road the Hell we've wandered
This is inheritance we've squandered
[C#] So raise a glass to all we've lost and wonder if we'll ever get it back

Please for[D#m]give us[C#]
For we've [B]only made it [F#]worse
Even [G#]after You had [D#m]warned us
Sin would [B]only bring a [C#]curse
Guess we knew [D#m]better[C#], so we [B]went a different [F#]way
Now we're [G#]only sleeping [C#]in the bed we [B]made[F#]
All the [D#m]glory [C#]
And the [B]power left this [F#]place
When we [G#]turned our backs u[D#m]pon You
And chose to [B]live in our dis[C#]grace
But You w[D#m]arned us[C#]
And You [B]let us have our[F#] way
Now we're [G#]only drowning [C#]in the mess we [B]made[F#]
[G#m]Blood [F#]on our [E]ha[F#]nds
