Am
The emptiness that we confess
E
In the dimmest hour of day
Dm
In Automatown they make a sound
E
Like the low sad moan of prey


Am
The bitter taste the hidden face
E
Of the lost forgotten child
Dm
The darkest need the slowest speed
E
The debt unreconciled


Dm
These photographs mean nothing
Am
To the poison that they take
Dm
Before a moment’s glory
E
The light begins to fade


Am
The awful cost of all we lost
E
As we looked the other way
Dm
We've paid the price of this cruel device
E
Till we've nothing left to pay


Am
The river goes where the current flows
E
The light we must destroy
Dm
Events conspire to set afire
E
The methods we employ


Dm
These dead men walk on water
Am
Cold blood runs through their veins
Dm
The angry river rises
E
As we step into the rain


Dm
These photographs mean nothing
Am
To the poison that they take
Dm
The angry river rises
E
As we step into the rain
