Verse 1:
Dbm      A         B               Abm
See the man which stands upon the hill
A              Gbm              Absus4   Ab
  He dreams of all the battles won
     Dbm      A         B              Abm
But fate had left its' scars upon his face
A               Gbm             Absus4  Ab
  With all the damage they had done

Pre-Chorus:
        A          B
And so tired, with age
   Abm         Dbm
He turns, the page
B       A
Let the flesh
A                Ab
Submit itself to gravity

Chorus:
         A                   B
Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay
        Abm                 Dbm          B
Let our blood invade, If I die in pain
   A                            B
Now, If your convictions were a passing phase
         Abm                          Dbm        B
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
A                             Ab                               Dbm
  And as the vermin crawls we lay in the foundations of decay

Verse 2:
Dbm         A
He was there
    B              Abm
The day the towers fell
A           Gbm                Absus4  Ab
  And so he wandered down the road
    Dbm       A
And we would all
      B             Abm
Build towers of our own
A         Gbm               Absus4   Ab
  Only to watch the roots corrode
         A        B
But it's much too late
       Abm     Dbm   B     A
You're in the race so we'll press
A                               Ab
And press till you can't take it anymore

Chorus:
        A                    B
Let our bodies lay while our hearts will stay
        Abm                 Dbm          B
Let our blood invade, If I die in pain
A                            B
  And if by his own hand his spirit flies, 
         Abm                    Dbm        B
Take his body as a relic to be canonized
   A                         Ab
Now, And so he gets to die a saint but she will always be the whore

The guiltiness is yours

Chorus:
B        Abm         Dbm   B
  you must fix your heart
A        B              Abm             Dbm   B
  And you must build an altar where it was
         A                     B
When the storm decays and the sky it rains
       Abm
Let it flood, let it flood
       Dbm        B
Let it wash away
A                                    B
  At last, we'll stumble through the last crusade
         Abm                             Dbm           B
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?
A                               Ab
  And as the swarming calls, we lay in the foundations

Outro:

Yes, it comforts me much more
        Dbm               A
Yes, it comforts me much more
   Absus4            Ab
To lay in the foundations of decay
D5 Db5     D5 Db5   D5 Db5
       Get       up        coward
