Bm A

D            Bm
We've become the outer order
G              A         Asus4
Live our lives along the border
D                  Bm
Get up in ease and face our other
F#m              Em                Asus4
To name the sign you've been born under

Bm
I was bitten by a man
Bm
Trespassing in a psychic state
Bm
What well-healed boy
Bm
What simple man
Bm                   Em        F#m
Left such a long and living wake


G                 D
I will not sing a hateful song
G                    D
Though it's in me to sing
G                   D
I know to drink the blood is wrong
Em              G
And undue error brings

Bm A

D              Bm
Born to proud, self-conscious people
G           A  Asus4
Living free of consequence
D                          Bm
Speak strange words louder than a witness
F#m               Em      Asus4
And damn the dead in self-defense


Bm
But I was also born and raised
Bm
To always speak and listen clear
Bm
To know the last sound that I make
Bm
Could be the last sound that I hear


G                 D
I will not sing a hateful song
G                    D
Though it's in me to sing
G                   D
I know to drink the blood is wrong
Em              G
And undue error brings
